https://youtu.be/6k0lHWQMujI?t=885 Amongst the blurb the modular mission bay and access via the elevator hangar is interesting. Is the cavity for the Uran system is big enough for eventually fitting UKSK as this is a step backward in ASuW from the 20385? Notable the lack of info on EW suite. It will undoubtedly have both DECM ELINT ESM and OECM capability and the models don't really show which kind.
