I can't really see the advantages of this for battleship guns - other than there is no other way that the Navy is going to get the DoD to pay for a new battleship after Pearl Harbor

For a close in defense system - ability to put a lot of metal between you and an incoming unwanted gift basket very very quickly, and the ability to not run out of ammunition this might be a good idea.
