This is the ship's last line of defense, providing a fast reaction, radar-guided, 20-millimeter gun, weapon system that is capable of firing at a rate of 4,500 rounds per minute.

Stand 1, I'm going to...

Yeah, right there, the president's being shown the Admiral Massa.

And like I say, we're cutting out the Navy's controlling the narrator.

So we're just going to go every time the narrator speaks.

The president's on the deck right there of the Bush.

When you talk about that gun system, Admiral Massa, what are we talking about?

Well, the close-in weapon support is a very vital component.

And I think if you recall back in the day where the USS Stark did not have their CWIS set to an automatic capability and an Exocet came in and severely damaged, took lives of that ship.

And it was the great damage control efforts of the ships in partnership with them out there that saved the ship from sinking.

But this is a very reliable system.

It's one of the best we've got.

I know I was part of some of the studies between a shoot-off between Sea Vulcan 25 and actually a 30 millimeter derivation of it.

But the 4,500 rounds is extremely powerful.

And it really does work.

And our former ship, the Paula Foster, is a test ship for, you know, such activities where they actually shoot missiles at it and they're intercepted by capabilities embedded on the ship.

And that's done from the Naval Surface Warfare Center.

At 45, you're hitting these bolts at 4,500 a minute.

By the way, you just saw the water going up off of the...

off of our combatant right there.
