Why Should I Visit One More Website?
I wouldn't. Unless you are keenly focused on Film, Writing, Creativity, Technology. That's me in a nutshell working on the "Taken" series and other Hollywood films, webseries, and more. I always explore topics and I'm Creative. I'm a Creative Explorer. But what matters most is my own Self-Development because that's how I will get to my Goals. I'm not a Guru and maybe a bit of a Guide or Teacher. I'm an Artist going down a path and sharing what I learn. Take what you like and build who you want to become. I also do Martial Arts which works with Action Films and TV. Learn. Create. Explore. Repeat and Grow, living in the Present. I work in Film. I live in Self-Development. I thrive in Imagination. Join me.

Naval Warfare Systems - Phalanx
Writing requires Research so I've read a lot about US Naval weapons systems when writing "Stealing Thunder Series" novels.
One is the Phalanx.
After five decades at sea, the U.S. Navy’s Phalanx Close-In Weapon System finally scored a kill.
Deployed on the USS Gravely, the weapon shot down an incoming Houthi anti-ship missile.
Phalanx combines a 20-mm Gatling gun and radar system to automatically shoot down anything that gets too close to its ship.
From Popular Mechanics:
In a landmark engagement last week in the Red Sea, a U.S. Navy destroyer shot down an incoming Houthi anti-ship cruise missile, suggesting the ship’s long-range weapons systems failed to neutralize the threat. The Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Gravely instead relied on its Mk-15 Phalanx Close-In Weapon System (CISW) to intercept the missile just under a mile from the ship.
On the one hand, it’s a win for the Phalanx, which has not scored a kill in its 40 years of service—not a bad thing, considering it’s the Navy’s so-called “last line of defense.” But on the other hand, we don’t know the exact details of the engagement, so it’s unclear if the use of Phalanx over other systems was intentional. This was, after all, a close call.
