Elevate the Phalanx through 90deg and you'll see that the radar domes will intersect both the lattice mast and the SPY-1 deckhouse.

Barrels go up ... radar dome goes back, and hit structure.

there is an way around this though... while not as limited as here, on for example the burke the phalanx can't go all the way up unless it rotates sideways.

You can use Sea Sparrow/NSSM until ESSM enters service

Why not just carry more Standards?

Ah. I never knew the radome moved as well. I really need to get out of the 40's.

I'm pretty sure this is right (my word is nothing though, as I belong in 1875!), that ladder on the side though raises questions,is it permanent?

Stacking up a two-helo hangar (at least 30' wide), probably at least six feet on either side of it on the flight deck level, and then a boat-width on each side on the next level down (probably at least 12'), and we're up to 66'.[/list]
Just did some checking and 66 feet is not really out of the question. This hull is the same length as the Burkes, and the Burkes have a beam of 66 feet exactly.
