Kennedy (CV 67) conducts a Phalanx Close-In Weapons System (CIWS) live fire training exercise. The CIWS is a fast-reaction, rapid-fire 20-millimeter gun system that provides ships of the U.S. Navy with a terminal defense against anti-ship missiles and littoral warfare threats that have penetrated other fleet defenses. Phalanx automatically detects, tracks and engages anti-air warfare threats such as anti-ship missiles and aircraft. Kennedy is currently conducting proficiency training off the Florida coast.
