hmmm does anyone else see a few possible potential problems with so much electrical power on a ship... in the ocean... made of water.....:hmm:

Or the fact that ships are floating gas cans with all the fuel and explosive ordinance they lug around. Railguns don't require explosive propellant or warhead so their ammo is much safer to carry. Laser CIWS wouldn't need the bullet or missile ammo so probably would be safer as well.
