    Mk 45 is the conventional version, the US has not completed development of the railgun and is using HVP in Mk 45 as a stop gap. It has better kinematic performance than conventional rounds.

    Turkey has no experience building such a ship, much less one of 50k tonnes. It should be well within India's capabilities to design and build this on her own due the advanced nature of its ship building industry. It is much greater than Turkey whose vessels are the fire kegs of the Mediterranean.

    I was well aware of that but I didn't think going back 75 years in history was a feasible proposition to the problem. You can get a 76mm Oto Melara as a better option today as it can be fitted on something as small as sloops.
