Resupply at sea is dangerous enough in optimal conditions A resupply VLS ship would require the ships to be dangerously close In optimal conditions, the USS Proteus AS-19 was able to transfer an 18 ton Polaris missile to SSBN however the SSBN was moored only a few feet away and this was done in harbor The only way this is feasible is not with the current DDG-51s but with the DDG-X The DDG-X has swappable VLS which means the entire module can be pulled out and replaced with a fresh one Resupply at see would work With the current DDG-51s and CG-47s A crane like how the Proteus had would work but it would designed so it can simultaneously crane over 8 missiles per trip SM-3, SM-6 and TLAM weight under 3 tons, its easy but for the future Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) which weights 9 tons, only 2 missiles per trip Its doable basically

@bluemarlin8138 Yeah no This isnt the 40s Any harbor is basically a fixed target and easy to target With hypersonic weapons thats mere minutes Moving targets are considerably harder to target
