HOWL

HOWL or "Heavy Ordnance Warhead Launcher" is a launch system utilised by the CDU Navy. Often erroniously thought of as just a big concussion missile launcher, the HOWL is actually a large-bore mass-driver equipped with on-board targetting sensors. HOWLs are capable of launching a wide-variety of missiles (self-propelled projectiles) and shells (lacking self-propulsion), ranging from bursting submunition shells for anti-fighter work to the long-range SLAM anti-shipping missile.

HOWLs are employed by the CDU Navy as an armament for heavy cruisers and battleships, and by other branches of the Caspian Defense Forces as surface emplacements.
