It's technologically impressive but I don't see it being strapped to ships any time soon, the guns they have currently do a marvelous job as it is.


Cant Dreadnoughts carry such equipement?


only problem with that, there are no dreadnoughts anymore, the biggest ships (non-carrier, resupply, etc.) in the US fleet are probably ticondaroga class guided missile cruisers, still the actual railgun itself isn't 'that' large, so sure, assuming its mounted in a custom turret theres no reason that couldn't fit on a normal ship, the biggest part of the system is always going to be the huge banks of capacitors, but since modern ships are gearing increasingly toward more automation, less crew = more space for other stuff, i.e. capacitor space, combined with a nuclear reactor for example, would be a nice little system. wonder how they fixed the problem of molten residue (bits of the projectile melting) caused by ultra high currents?
