HMS Dauntless worked up its Phalanx Close-in Weapons Systems that was put to the test recently.

HMS Dauntless Twitter Feed said: “We hope you had a good phalanxtines day, we certainly did! The ship successfully conducted tracking trials on our close in weapons systems using jets to test their built-in radars. Having proven the capability, the guns will be fired over the coming days.”
