That's an interesting idea. It seems like many of the most useful and longest-lived weapons platforms are general purpose and easily adaptable, like the B-52.

If the Navy adopts something like it, it could really save a lot of money and enable more incremental innovation. As far as survivability, I wonder if something like this could scale out fast in wartime by redistributing the containers among more ships? Maybe the containers could even be watertight, so they could be fished out of the sea and reused if the ship that was carrying them is sunk.
