SeaRam is a different system than what's deployed in the fleet right now. It marries the RIM-116 with a CIWS tracking system. It might be on a couple of platforms but as far as I know it is still be tested.

You're right! The combined systems have not been deployed yet. I have also read that there is talk of marrying the CIWS to the free electron laser once they get the laser strength to acceptable levels.
