Interesting thing about Goalkeeper is that once again, it's not a Navy or even American-developed weapon. While the navy HAS used foreign weapons before, like the OTO Melara 76mm (among others) but I think it would be an easier sell for the new Phalanx, which is unfortunate as the Goalkeeper seems to be more capable.
Also, they have a 20mm mount for some reason. Why not the Mark 68 25mm? Look for standardization amongst the entire Navy and all that.
