A Nike has KH-2 because it can not carry Apollo pods except may be 100 tractored to its hull.

It makes such perfect sense does it not that the ship that has no use for KH-2 has a KH-2 but the ship that could usefully employ KH-2 does not.

Of course this might be related to our conspiracy to have me exploit the Apollo for BC(P) controversy to provoke Weber into stating that KH-2 has an impeller wedge so youcouldstarta thread that suckered him into stating that it does not.

Are we not diabolical?

That was absolutely classic. In another thread, Skimper made reference to an ability of the Keyhole system. RFC stated he had never made any reference to such an ability. Skimper then confounded confounded probably everyone by referring to a Pearl in which RFC had given KH said capability. And yes, namelessfly had provoked the digression...

I thought SVW respectfully pointed out that old Pearl.

Back to the original intent of the thread, we do have a little information in the open. The most information we have is on the Mk 13 Cruiser missile and the Mk 16 DDM cruiser missile.

The Mk 13's information comes from the armor appendix of In Fire Forged (Compilation #5). The Mk 16's information comes from the appendix at the end of Storm from the Shadows.

Known Masses
Mk50 - 78 tons (Outdated DD/CL missile) OBS
Mk13 - 84 Tons (Single drive CA/BC missile) IFF
Mk16 - 94 tons (DDM CA/BC missile) SftS
Mk19 - 130 Tons (Single drive Capitol missile)

The mk 13's dimensions are given in IFF, as some errata on the mk 16 is found in the text and appendix of SftS.

Was trere some specific information you were looking for?
