Every navy in the world built battleships before WW2 also, until everybody realized carriers had obsoleted them. So too will it be with improved missile tech.

Right, but (1) that's why God made missile defense cruisers as part of carrier battle fleets and (2) if they're so self-evidently vulnerable, it's odd the PRC would divert so many resources into them.

So the USN which can't prevent merchant ships from colliding with their warships can stop missiles. I hope the enemy doesn't disguise their missiles as cargo ships
