A fleet carrier can do what? 40 plus knots at flank speed?
But could a carrier group outrun or evade a missile traveling at ballistic speed?
Do not answer, please, if answer requires classified info.
time for a missle defense shield, got to stop them red chinese. we gave tehm the money and technology to build this stuff, stupid us.
yes a carreir might make 50 mph, not sure if all teh support ships that sail with it can do that speed, and a carrier must have them support ships for defence. Our carriers are not well armored, they are soft targets, scarey stuff. a missle at mach 10, even lacking a war head is a big deal.
now if we had them airplane based laser guns, to kill missles in flight, we might have a good chance at defence.
maybe teh ship based missle defences can help agisnt this kind of attack.
rotten commie chinese
40 knot ships do not out run Mach 10 missiles. That missile can fly farther in five minutes than a fleet can travel in a day.
