Oh, and don't go with Phalanx CIWS. The best modern CIWS gun is, in my humble opinion, the Oerlikon Millenium 35mm. 1000 rounds/minute firing rate, air burst munitions to fill the air with a veritable wall of flak and is the only modern CIWS gun that can keep out targets at ranges exceeding 1.2km. I put a combination of RAM launchers and Millenium guns on my ship, would that be a good defensive screen HistoricalDavid?
