And AGS is not going to be a great ASuW weapon. It's all about striking land targets. It won't have the traverse speed or ROF to deal with fast, small boats.

No, IMHO, the way to win a the fight against small boats is to have large numbers of better small boats, and airpower.
AGS is for shore bombardment.

I would use the 57mm Bofors or 76mm Super Rapid against small boats. If they get any closer, Phalanx.
