Missiles take up less space and have a longer range and do more damage than guns, so the big guns are generally no longer of much use, smaller guns can be used for shooting down aircraft or missiles as they have a higher rate of fire and can be moved rapidly, in addition these weapons can be used against small fast moving missile or torpedo boats and can additionally be used in shore bombardment.
