Just for debate, is a blue water navy obsolete in the age of missile technology? It is great to project power against the third world, but is it against China?

The “experts” around here are convinced that our missiles could shoot down the Chinese missiles before they turned our carriers into swiss cheese.

I would not want any of my kin on board those ships finding out the hard way....
