CIWS - Close in Weapons System - 1 mile range - 4,5oo rounds per minute, depleted uranium

Defends against aircraft and missiles. 

We had one forward and aft on a Spruance class destroyer. I served on USS Cushing and USS Fletcher.

I was the ship's machinist and manufactured a new guide pin that failed when we were on deployment in the Persian Gulf.
