The answer is called the RIM-161 Standard Missile 3, aka SM-3:

It already exists. Its is already sitting in the VLS cells of Aegis class cruisers and destroyers.

The USN has problems (not the least of which is Obama), but it ain’t stupid and this is old news.

Agreed.

Other “super weapons” previously hyped by a credulous media, that will destroy America’s military superiority/inflict massive unsustainable casualties:

T-80 Tank;
MiG 25;
TU-22 Backfire Bomber;
Typhoon Class SSBN;
Akula Class/Project 971 SSN;
Kilo Class SS;
SS-25 Mobile ICBM;
Iranian Speedboat Flotillas...

Anyone else?
