AHA! Someone else finally mentioned it. I remember watching that movie in the theater and almost laughed when the CIWS engaged a slow flying Hornet parallel to the ship.
But isn't there a way to manually aim the CIWS using the onboard camara? Is there a console somewhere on the ship that has a switch for the CIWS along with a monitor and a joystick?
