That’s nice, but we don’t have those installed. The Navy has been removing those for SeaRAM installations. There has been a rather hasty reversal of the decade long trend to removing Phalanx from Navy ships but it will be years before even a simple majority of our surface combatants have Phalanx again.
The recent production Flight IIA Arleigh Burke destroyers had NO provision for CIWS at all in the first place and have just two years ago started having CIWS slowly and painfully refitted. And, by the way, the CIWS as retrofitted can only protect some of the side and rear arc of the ship, the forward arc is completely undefended.

we have something similar on our destroyers and
cruisers.. Works the same way..
How about this system
