During the Vietnam war the US Navy operated Huey helicopters in the armed gunship role to great effect.  They were known as SeaWolves and they terrorized the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese troops.  If the Navy is going to get serious about combating modern threats...piracy, fighting in the littorals, stopping missile boats before they close to major ships and even operating in blue water then its time to bring this capability to the fleet.
