The only problem with anti-missile missiles is that eventually, you run out. Those 20 missiles are gonna be shot pretty fast, and in prolonged engagements, you're gonna find yourself with a very expensive waste of energy really fast.

I would suggest making it retractable, and changing its purpose from anti missile missile to missile decoy, which would either launch a missile that mimics the ship's energy signiture, or perhaps a "screamer" missile that creates a radio bubble in its wake, disrupting missile trackng systems.

As a last note, the phalanx is a name for rotary autocannon point defense turrets on current-day warships...im guessing that you knew that already, but it still might be worth changing the launcher's designation, or installing a real phalanx cannon on the top or the side to give it a more functional role.
