How to evade incoming missiles

All of the above is correct, Chaff clouds do give you an increased chance of survival, slim, but it's a chance. The deployed Helo is the best option, If I am aware of a surface threat, I will place my helo in an advanced position out of enemy SAM range, and if there are two helo's embarked on the FFG, I will have one on either flank.

Trick with the CIWS is to manually look after it. Setting it to auto will have a far less discovery time then if it was manually armed once the incoming missiles were detected. Click off hold fire and acquire, this will prep the CIWS, then when it is in range engage the target, the mount does not need to turn then engage it's already in position. Believe it or not this can save upwards of a few seconds, but that can be the difference between life and death.

76mm, don't even both, unless you want to see some nice slashes. SM-2 is the primary weapon for taking out an incoming SSM. Please keep in mind, depending on the speed, size and flight pattern of the SSM, the SM-2 generally has a strike rate of about 75%.
