I had thought it had been used during the gulf war in a friendly fire event.

The Missouri got raked with it from its escort ship - not pleasant for anyone concerned I'd say.

tldr: the Missouri fired a chaff and the other ships CIWS was all “not in my airspace” and started shooting at it even though the Missouri was behind the target. Interesting, I wonder if the whole battlegroup has synced systems now to avoid such things, e.g. 1) I’m going to launch something, everyone else disregard it as a threat and 2) if a threat has a friendly behind it, don’t shoot it.

Maybe 2) is more of a judgement call since a few bullet holes is probably preferential to the alternative.

Yep that's the one
