Anyone have the rate of fire for the US Mk 12 Talos launcher?
Or a drawing of the magazine, missile assembly room?

Friedman's US Naval Weapons says ROF for the Mk 12 was similar to the Mk 7, which is credited with an time of 57
seconds to fire the first salvo from ready storage and with 46 seconds between salvos in continuous firing (flight time would be the actual limiting factor in
long-range engagements, since time to maximum range was three or four minutes). The same book has a nice diagram of the MK 12, but I have no scanner.
