Cool. It said that with new power plants coming online, that the Navy doesn't expect any problems with power generation.

What about some kind of retro-fit?

Also, how fast is reset/reload time? How much time between shots fired?

I also assume that this is not any kind of heavy machine gun. This would be the main cannon on board a ship.

Still, very cool.
