Bruhh that source about the 5 tanks with DU was published before sepv2 was even thing lol Idk why people are still using it.
Prove that GDLS can’t manufacture them. Please.
Why go from 5 DU hulls and unlimited turrets in 2006, and then later allow unlimited hulls and turrets? We already accept that the turrets have DU, and the unlimited license for them was proof. Now we have unlimited licenses for the hulls as well. Proven in two different and more recent documents.
Was GDLS never able to manufacture the turrets you’ve accepted have had DU this entire time?
Prove that this excludes DU from the turrets and hulls, please.
Current contract expires in 2024 for GDLS
Check again, slo-mo. 2033.:

I think you are meant to prove there is a license for GDLS to manufacture DU hulls,
truely idiotic as you always seem to show yourself to be. This is the Army license which allows possesion, storage and use of tanks with DU Hulls and Turrets.
What I posted above is the GDLS license which only allows the manufacture and repair of DU turrets
No. That was never the standard for accepting that there was DU in the turret. The same type of document that said DU for unlimited turrets was proof enough for DU in the turret. The newer documents now grant DU use for unlimited hulls, alongside the previous unlimited turrets.
Do tell how the number of DU hulls can increase if GDLS haven’t got a license to manufacture DU hulls?
Mitosis?
The document you linked isn’t even talking about manufacturing them, its talking about upgrading and disposal. XD

“A. For installation of new depleted uranium
heavy armor packages to M1 Abrams
tank system turrets and ballistic
targets and for display, demonstration,
maintenance and nondestructive
operational testing. For removal and
packaging for authorized
transfer/disposal of intact (encased in
stainless steel) depleted uranium heavy
armor packages from M1 Abrams Tank
Systems turrets.”
Says nothing of manufacturing turrets. Other licenses, the same Army license type that was used to insist that the turrets have DU, but only 5 hulls had DU in 2006, indicates now that the Army can use DU in unlimited turrets and unlimited hulls. You erroneously bringing up a GDLS SERVICING license does nothing to say they can’t manufacture the turrets that have always been accepted as having DU, or the hulls that are no longer limited by a dated license.
Ohh gee of course now you are being pernickety.
Where’s the license that allows GDLS to install new depleted heavy armor packages to M1 Abrams Tank System hulls and ballistic targets and for display, demonstration, maintenance and non-destructive operational testing. For removal and packaging for authorized transfer/disposal of intact (encased in stainless steel) depleted Uranium heavy armor packages from M1 Abrams Tank Systems hulls
Also you are comparing two different forms
Form 313 is the from 2006 that specifies the Army owns 5 DU Hulls
Form 374 is the one you are trying to prove that the license changed from 5 DU hulls only to “as needed”.
Issue with this is… it never changed, the NRC have a web-copy of Form 374 from February 22nd 2006 (the same date as the well known Form 313 document) and the amount is still “as needed” for possession and use
https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML0624/ML062410022.pdf
Form 374 states “as needed” for use and storage of DU hulls and turrets
Form 313 specifies this as 5 DU tank hulls and unlimited DU turrets
And you know this how?

I’ll ignore you shifting the goalpost again since you didn’t actually post a license of GDLS manufacturing turrets (you thought you did, lol.)
But I’ll point out that the new form is labeled “Amendment No. 09” at the top. Meaning there is a change.:
https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML0624/ML062410022.pdf
"3. License number SUB-1536 is renewed in
its entirety to read as follows: "
“Is renewed to read as follows” means that what this new license states is now valid, replacing the previous version. They omitted the limit of 5 DU hulls, and have now said that both turrets and hulls are “as needed.”
They omitted the specified limit, and explicitly state that the hulls can now be issued “as needed” as the turrets were all along.
They wouldn’t have needed to omit the limit of 5 hulls unless they were using DU in more hulls. They would have omitted the hulls entirely if they decided that no hulls would have DU.
Cope.

Ammendment 9 for Form 374 is dated 22 February 2006
Form 374 has always had as needed (at least from 2006 at the same time as Form 313)
The Form 313 document, is dated 22 February 2006
They are both referring to the same renewal application of the NRC license owned by TACOM that they submitted in 22 February 2006 (SUB-1536)
Previous renewals and the original license are not available on the NRC Website.
“They omitted the specified limit, and explicitly state that the hulls can now be issued “as needed” as the turrets were all along.”
They never omitted it, it never changed from 2006 to 2019
You are just being obtuse at this point
Then where does it say “5 DU hulls” in the amended version? Also, the Amendment 9 form is dated AUG 24 2006. LOL!
Yes, they omitted the limit on 5 hulls. They said the hulls would be issued as needed, along with the turrets. There is no limit set on either. You are wrong in every measure yet again. XD
The updated form removed the limit of 5 DU hulls. Cope.

In the worst case scenario if they don’t correct the hull armor (even though a lot of the values for modern tank armor are made up anyway), I hope the eventual spall liner addition/corrections will actually work as they should, same for Leclerc, Ariete, etc.

They got values, lets see how it turns out

Good stuff.
quick question, are you sure GDLS makes the armour.
