UK ship previosuly used 'a gun'. Sounds to me that we are trying out different systems, to keep the cost down, and maybe they are adjusting threat profiles, to account for slow flying drones, i.e. when within range, you still have x seconds to down them.
I'd assume they have a secondary ready, like CIWS.
For small drones they could have used the MLG27 using the Oto and RIM indicates larger further away threats.
Letting them come in to only use the cheaper 27mm munitions was maybe too much of a risk.
They must hunt down their sensors and drone bases on land asap.
As well as get intelligence about information relay.
