I doubt even that would fit a CPS/Dark Eagle in it though, it'll be strictly for the VPMs (Virginia Payload Modules) on the Ohio SSGNs, Block IV Virginias and Zumwalts. G-VLS will likely be based on the Mk57 VLS in the Zumwalts. The navy version is also cold launched from a canister (round tube below), as opposed to the hot launch army version (square tube).
This diagram is misleading because it's actually 3 missiles in each of the 4 VPM tubes.
So far it is on schedule even.

It won't be that big, CPS is cold-launch canisters from VPMs only. It's 10.7m long and 0.876m wide from what we can establish. It might be able to quad pack SM-2s (I think the Mk57 can), but not SM-6s.
