Yes been looking at that myself. Going to insert a 5 meter section into the forward hull between the VLS and bridge and have my 910 on a platform 1 half or maybe 1 deck higher than the VLS but as not to block the bridge.

I can then use this as an additional phalanx mount in a later refit guise or replace the phalanx entirly with goalkeeper using the then redundant 910 positions....

I'm pretty skeptical about the concept of so completely gutting and refitting a thirty-year-old surface combatant.
