Hi everyone, We have already discussed a shorter/no Vietnam scenario already so I will not ask for changes related to this. However, what I was wondering about is whether having a second JFK term (due to no assassination) instead of a Johnson term would affect 1963-1968 procurement in any way...

I've thought I collect here the Guided Missile Launcher Systems or GMLS designations the US Armed forces used, mostly the navy but there seems to be many missing launcher designations and sequences. If anybody knows more designations from the missing sequences feel free to post here or inform me...
