I suspect the following configuration for @LockheedMartin's Multi-Mission Surface Combatant (MMSC), a new LCS variant, for the #HellenicNavy’s next frigate program. Some observations:
1. It is questionable if the two Mk41 modules will be installed both aft.

2. Forward of the bridge there will be a STRALES 76mm gun thus there might not be enough space for a VLS behind it. I think also 16-cells with quadpacked ESSM are enough.
3. No torpedo launchers (see final #SaudiArabian MMSC) indicates the purchase of VL ASROC. Pics by @USNINews

4. The two Mk41 VLS are enough for either 64 ESSM or a combination of ESSM (at least 32) and VL ASROC.
5. I believe that Harpoon Block II will be fitted as Greece might think reusing current equipment form retired Ellis/Kortenaer-class FFG.
6. The CIWS choice is another question.
