>saved by CIWS? We know that the USS Stark did not have CIWS. My understanding

Hmm.. I though Stark did have a Phalanx 
system, but only one and mounted at the 
stern. The last maneuver the ship exe-
cuted before the missile hit was a sharp
turn to try to get the Phalanx gun into 
firing position. They weren't fast enough.
