Actually more like 8600 lbs with canisters, racks, and electronics.I question the basic assertion that a Mk VI can carry two Mk 38 and 4 NSM. With two Mk 38s, there is just barely room to squeeze in a pair of small RIBs. And bear in mind that the USN really wants to get rid of the Mk VIs because they are totally unsuited to the open Pacific. Now, translate to the requirement to operate off Ireland (North Atlantic) which is even worse. Even the Cyclones are really too small for an environment like that.
