- CamperBob2 4y agoAlso, how good is Phalanx at detecting and killing something that comes in 6 feet above the water's surface?
- WastingMyTime89 4y agoSomewhat good. That’s the whole point. It was put in service specifically to counter sea skimming missiles. Its effectiveness is questionable however.

There wouldn't be any chance to reload anything. Whatever you have in the magazines and VLS cells at that moment would be all you get.
