Here's a neat photo from the US Navy's website:

Souda Bay, Crete, Greece (Feb. 08, 2006) â€“ Sailors assigned to the guided missile destroyer USS Roosevelt (DDG 80) man the rails as the ship arrives in Souda Bay for a routine port visit. Roosevelt is the 30th ship in the Arleigh Burke-class of destroyers. Roosevelt is currently on a surge deployment in support of the global war on terrorism.

Was I the only one thinking that you could get the CIWS shooting the forward flagstaff if you put a missile onto that ship from 000?

Flagstaffs are expendible, I guess
