New to me. Enclosure for NLOS missiles on LCS-2.

Totally new to me.  I assumed that these missiles would be stored at the stations occupying the 30mm cannon spots.  I really thought it would be one or the other (as far as those weapons were concerned), now I know better.

100327-N-1876H-007 GULF OF MEXICO (March 27, 2010) The enclosure for the non-line-of-sight missile system lies behind the Mk 110 57mm gun housing on the bow of the littoral combat ship USS Independence (LCS 2) as it transits the Gulf of Mexico. Independence is underway on her maiden voyage. (U.S. Navy photo by Lieutenant Zachary Harrell/Released)
