In the littoral scenario the gun must have the capability to engage threats that were impossible to engage with conventional gun systems.
Survivability in such an environment requires an extremely flexible weapon system.
The 57mm Mk110 has this flexibility, which is proven by the fact that it is the deck gun of choice for the US Coast Guard’s National Security Cutter and offshore patrol cutter classes of ships, as well as for the US Navy’s LCS ships.
