Well the RIM-116 RAMs are replacing a lot of the Phalynx. They are much more accurate, dependable, and capable IMHO

But do they have enough reloads. Cannon ammunition, even DU, is much cheaper than guided missiles.

Each launcher has 21 missiles. They are stinger missiles with sidewinder seaker heads. A carrier carries two launchers...and I believe they can be reloaded right on board.
