Doesn't mean the RN doesn't use it.

The Tomahawk is an American weapon too, but it doesn't mean we don't share the same systems with our allies. The Phalanx is a sick system though. Automatically-aimed 20mm depleted uranium, baby.

I think i remember Tom Clancy saying something about it being able to lock onto seagulls in Red Storm Rising. Any truth in this or is it a bit of fanciful thinking?
