China's Type 1130 Close-In Weapon System, known as the "10,000-round gun," serves as the Type 055 destroyer's last line of defense. 

With an extraordinary rate of fire, it functions as both a weapon and a shield, often described as a naval Gatling gun. The system can unleash a dense wall of fire, intercepting incoming anti-ship missiles with pinpoint accuracy. Advanced fire-control technology allows it to track multiple targets and neutralize threats efficiently, making it one of the world's most formidable close-range defense systems.
