    I don't see a CIWS or anti-cruise missile shooting this down as it slams into the deck at 90 degrees (and neither does China). Like that particular design looks a bit rubbish for the task compared to a purpose-built weapon, but the R7 was a bit rubbish for an ICBM and it could put a nuke on DC just fine.

      Yeah but all you do is damage it. It doesn’t have an explosive payload. Building it with an explosive payload would be so expensive and utterly worthless compared to an equivalent amount of Chinese anti ship missiles.

          What the fuck are you saying? The flight deck can be repaired at sea.

            yeah sure ... , I mean if China only sends a single Rocket and then gives the US 3 weeks for the Repairs ... and all the Airplanes in Flight find another Carrier to land on...

              You’re thinking that this is more worth it than a crap ton of cheap anti ship missiles?

                the general tactic with missiles warfare i learned is to always send some cheap shit with the expansive shit , so the defenses dont know which targets they should prioritize ..

                  I guarantee you that cheap and overwhelming is the way to go.
