Yep, the LAW tube looks to be just about the right size for that shell, it would make it a bit easier to hold and aim! A couple of bake sales might just double the CG annual budget!
Don't worry comrade the Obama administration has arranged for a commissioned navy frigate to be transferred to the CG to "bring it into the new century", I think they call her the USS Constitution.
Ya gotta admit that this 'weapon system' is a whole lot cheaper to field and operate than any that the 'other' nautical service operates.........

If they can't at least give em a few M72 LAWs we need to hold the CG a bake sale.
