 CIWS is our Close In Weapon System. It fires 4500 Rounds a minute and is a beast when it shoots. I couldn't do anything about our whip antennae in the back ground, but I wanted to include something in the photo with the sunset instead of just having the setting sun into the ocean horizon.

Is that a CRAM? Beautiful sunset and nice pic too - I'm not an expert, but it looks technically good too: clear, crisp, good DOF.
Thanks for your service, and stay safe.
