To some degree you are right. This aspect may forever be impossible to completely beat.

I think with the many ships surrounding a carrier all with the “digital mapping controlled high speed guns”, will make the water so chummed with Iranians and their little boats, carrier water intake filtration may be the critical path.

We will find
sooner or later
if Achmed’ll pray
to a glowing crater.

Until then, the problem hasn’t really been addressed.

The Pershing II.

It had an active radar used in the terminal stage of flight, giving the Pershing II a CEP of 30m and a very effective hard/deeply buried kill capability with a warhead that ranged from 5 to 30kt.

It drove the Soviets absolutely nuts because of that capability and was one of the driving reasons behind the INF Treaty.

This technology has been around for 30 years, so don’t think the Chinese can’t develop something similar.
