From RINA's "The Naval Architect" November 1983, review of RNEE 1983:


• Vickers "Sea Dragon" CIWS.

• GAU-8A based system

• Project started in 1972, but not publicly announced until 1982

• Ericsson Giraffe C-band radar for detection (separate unit)

• On-mount tracking radar same as in the LWSW proposals - Marconi set (VFM-30?)

• Ferranti processing equipment

• Jokingly suggested that system designator of "GBG-30" means "Great British Gun"

• Mounting similar to Goalkeeper, without E/O and surveillance radars, and with slightly larger FCR
