When the Japanese would shoot these, because they were coming out of some of their bigger barrels, they would actually break up their own AAA fire.

iirc, the rounds tore up the gun barrels too.

I remember, after the Falklands war showed cruise missiles to be a real threat, there was a push on, by several navies, to add a lot of light, AA to their ships. The Italian navy, for instance, added three twin 40mm AA guns to the Vittorio Veneto's existing suite of 8-76mm rapid fire guns.
