Wikipedia says the same thing. One thing about the Styx is that, although a large subsonic missile by today's standards, it's a very small target compared to what AA gunners would've typically expected. Also it's a very fast target. If it was a battleship with the massive AA arsenal typical of a vessel that size, maybe, but not a small ship like this. Destroyers had a hard time shooting down kamikazies, which were slower and larger targets.

Indeed, the Styx was simply too fast for the mechanical fire control computers to keep up.
