A thoughtful, well-defined “to-do” list for naval operations analysts, policymakers, resourcing organizations, and naval leaders.
Did you consider asking what is the status of VLS re-arming at sea? NAVSEA has been attempting to field this capability for decades. It is a critical war fighting enabler for three main reasons: the tyranny of distance in the Pacific will prevent ships from going off station to reload, the insufficient number of ships, and the inadequate number of VLS munitions.

Thank you. I bin VLS reload up under "expeditionary rearming".
