CIWS are only partly effective. A 'better than nothing' sort of deal, but ASMs generally retain the advantage.

CIWS are only partly effective.

It's been that way since WW2 with AA only partly effective against air. Not having perfect AA didn't stop Navies on all sides from being used.

The issue isn't "Navies are going out of business", it's "In any shooting war, all of these extremely expensive pieces of equipment are suddenly much less survivable than they were planned to be with the rise of highly maneuverable supersonic missiles as anti-ship weapons"

Oh yeah, hypersonic missles!
