The Paul Hamilton is an Arleigh Burke class Destroyer (is is a 1, 2 or 2a?).
It has 8 Harpoon missles, 1 5 inch gun, 2 20mm CIWS/Phalanxes. How the heck do small ships keep getting this close?
Do we have to put 25mm autocannons and .50 machine gus on them?

Um, those are its various secondary armaments. The main weapon system is a 96 cell "standard" missle system that can blow away scores of targets within 50 miles, air or surface. It gets close to small ships when it is doing so on purpose, not the other way around.
