Es werden keine Röhren verbaut. Ich zitiere mal:
>!The logical calibre to choose would be l55mm, to obtain some commonality of projectiles and submunitions with the Armys artillery ( a significant issue as guided projectiles, submunition carriers etc are expensive to develop and manufacture), and naval weapons of this calibre are under development in both the USA and Europe. Modern long-range 155mm artillery shells can be fired to over 45 km - about the same as Exocet MM38. The new extended-range technology could more than double this engagement range; the new LRLAP (long range land attack projectile) fin-stabilised rocket-assisted guided shell being developed for use in the 155mm Advanced Gun System for the new DD(X) destroyers is expected to be capable of 180 km. It weighs 118 kg compared with 54 kg for the standard artillery shell. The AGS is a massive and complex system, weighing 95 tons for the turret alone (the barrel is liquid-cooled to permit a constant 12 rpm) and nearly 300 tons including a full 750-round magazine, so it
will be for big ships only.

BAe Systems proposed a weapon based on the British AS90 Braveheart SPG, intended to achieve 18 rpm. France also considered such a solution based on the turret of its GIAT 155mm/52 gun (19 tons unloaded) together with PELICAN guided ammunition, with a range of 85 km, but that now appears unlikely to happen. The Germans have actually mounted an 18 ton turret from their 155m PzH 2000 SPG to the F124 class frigate Hamburg for demonstration purposes (made easier by their MEKO modular armament system for warships). The concept is known as MONARC (which stands for the German for Modular Naval Artillery Concept for Naval Gun Fire), and is claimed to be capable of 10 rpm. Rheinmetall is also developing a new generation of 155mm ammunition which doubles the current maximum range to 80 km.
