A hit that took major reprogramming and setting up the right conditions. Not anything at all like hitting missiles at will.

That satellite was traveling several thousand miles per hour *faster* than ICBMs travel.

And it was intercepted in Space.

The software enhancements to hit it back in 2008 are now standard issue.

Naval SM-3s have been able, proven, to knock out ICBMs and satellites in Space since 2008.

So for more than the past 5 years, aircraft carriers have been protected from nuclear-tipped ICBMs.
