A CIWS installation is 7 tons by itself, not including ammo

A carrier is over 100,000 tons. Installing 100 CIWS would STILL be less than 1% of the carrier's displacement.

What's your point?

7 tons in the wrong place, times multiple installations, can be a stability problem.

See what happened in Typhoon Cobra.
