I often wonder if a carrier battle group can handle a massed cruise missle attack.

Navy warships have never been invincible.

Ever.

But neither is it a given that they will be helpless, either.

Ask the Brits how it goes.

They lost the Coventry in the Falklands war, and to conventional bombs as I understand it.

But, we have more advanced defense systems now.
