No. Those are for close-in-antimissle defense. Most likely the Five-inch guns. Isn't 200 yards a bit close in for the 5-inch? Can it depress low enough at that range? I would imagine CIWIS would be better at that range for that type of target. Even though it is designed for anti-missle it can target surface objects.

Can it depress low enough at that range? Yes, indeed. Fires horizontal with the water just like the good old days of Spanish galleons and buckaneers.
