os Ticos com lançadores duplos foram todos retirados de serviço, actualmente só os com VLS estão em serviço.
Quanto a Portugal, nem sei se as 2 OHPS trarão misseis, ou apenas os lançadores, da maneira que o processo está a decorrer...

MISSILES
22 of the class (CG52 - CG73) are fitted with two Mark 41 Vertical Launch System (VLS), each armed with eight Boeing/Raytheon Tomahawk cruise missiles. The first five ships (CG47 to CG51) are fitted with conventional twin launchers. The Mark 41 launchers are being upgraded with new Lockheed Martin AN/ALQ-70 computers and the ability to launch Evolved Seasparrow (ESSM) missiles. In the anti-ship role the missile uses inertial guidance and active/passive radar homing to a range of 250 nautical miles. The land attack (TLAM) version uses a Tercom (terrain comparison) and inertial navigation system (TAINS). Range is up to 2,500km.

sairia muito mais barato que comprar um VLS novo.
I took a look at that website but also reviewed the latest info we have here at work. The Bahrain deal will not happen and was decided about a year and a half ago. Apparently when the Bahrain delegation came to inspect the ship they decided it would be too manpower intensive for their small navy and decided to pass on the FFG.
I hope this helps ease some nerves about the ships. I am sure they will still be transferred soon. My friend who works at the inactive ships facility keeps telling me to "watch the news papers", which would indicate this is going to happen fairly soon.
I am sure they will still be transferred soon
