I have only been on a DD once, many years ago, so I don't know what they may have available, but I would think a Ma Deuce or a M-60 would be most cost effective.
OTOH the gunnery practice for the main mount would be valuable, and a lot more satisfying.

I checked out what the Arleigh Burke Class has mounted. I would assume the 20mm sea whizz would be usable for this application, and that would ruin just about anyone's day.

I wouldn't want to trade .50 cal rounds, let the 3" Mount do it's job. No sense risking the sailors by making it an "even fight".
