She probably didn’t even need to say it. But this is what CIWS guns are good for.
The schedule hasn’t actually let up, but I’ve at least got this crazy page done! Here’s to it.
All the best, folks.

Hail of Bullets!
Rock AND Roll, Baby! 😉
It’s times like this you kind of wish your CISW was water cooled and had bigger ammo bunkers to feed them. And yes, as a matter of fact I have long lusted for a water cooled quad 50 mount with M3’s in it. 🙂 More importantly the money to afford the ammo.
I’m thinking those guns just ain’t gonna be enough.
Duck and Cover, folks!
“For what we are about to receive…”
Sounds like a job for MetalStorm.
We’d call these guns on the ships R2D2…. LMAO! But yes they are very effective against incoming targets.
Yeah I’m super happy with how they look on this page. Fortunately, the Journalism Branch photo records make things easy to draw – at least on the outside!
There are going to be leakers….

I think he means a few bomblets are going to make it throught Mike’s iron curtain.
I know.
And as Francis Urquhart would say, “You might very well think that, but I couldn’t possibly comment.”

Hope those are Goal keeper CWIS
They’re “Artemis” anti-missile guns, part of the CBM System. But they’re very good, with active tracking and 98% terminality within their engafagement zine. They positively inhale ammunition though…
Are they using AHEAD munitions?
This here has got to be the most intense game of Missile Command I’ve ever seen.

Defend the base!
Be interesting if you could build a similar system using a Flak (Air Burst) round.

It shreads everything that flies, from PGMs to jet aircraft.
Cool thanks!
Feels a bit strange for us to use the instantaneous laser weaponry against aircraft, but continue to use conventional rapid-fire munitions against the faster, smaller missiles.
Maybe it has something to do with charge times for the laser? IDK
It has to do with who’s firing it and what they’re equipped with.
Well they are working on a laser anti-missile / boat laser for the navy. But big thing would be the fact that we don’t have pulse lasers yet and therefore can’t lay down a “screen” of laser fire the way a flak gun can flechettes.
Possibly also aiming precision and steerability. If the turret can’t traverse very quickly, then the laser just digs itself a tunnel in the incoming cloud of missiles, and subsequent shots go straight down the tunnel without hitting anything. Cannon shells are rifled, but the trajectory can still go slightly astray due to atmospheric effects. Which means it’s more likely to pass through the space where a missile is as opposed to the space where a missile now isn’t thanks to an earlier shot.
