A few years ago I toured a U.S. Navy ship. The gunners mate showed us his weapons, including the CWIS. I asked him what would happen if there were 8 or 9 Kamikazes attacking his ship at the same time, as happened at Okinawa. He said that they would get hit.

..gunners mate said that the ship would get hit. The CWIS would not get all of the Kamikazes in it’s 20 second burst.

When I was on the USS ENTERPRISE, at least two were always out of commission.

Kamikazes today are hypersonic wave-skimming ballistic missiles like the Chinese Dong-Feng. Nasty stuff.
