Rusty Battleship,
Earlier you mentioned ships in the gulf mounting 25mm chain guns. Do you have any idea about the possibility of replacing the .50 cal mounts on the LCS with those? One of the biggest reasons that I would like to see CIWS on the LCS is the small boat threat. If the .50 cal mounts could be replaced with somthing bigger and with greater range, it might go a long way towards addressing that threat. Of course, I would prefer CIWS for performance against a wider range of threats, but just wondering.
