well, in reality they are IR and RD (period) :roll:
just another thing thats not 100% reality i guess
Block 1As have autonomous IR mode in case the target isn't emitting. It's the more numerous Block 0s that are RF/IR only, heading out on a RF bearing line and switch to IR for the terminal phase.
And FYI, CIWS has been upgraded: it's now "Captain, It Works Sometimes". Combined with the improvements in the "Ain't Ever Gonna Intercept ****" and "Random Ass Misfires" systems, the US Navy is well-prepared to face any upcoming ASCM threat.
