How the U.S. Navy Would Destroy a Chinese Aircraft Carrier
http://nationalinterest.org/feature/...-carrier-16400
Quote:
Ah, yes, the “carrier-killer.” China is forever touting the array of guided missiles its weaponeers have devised to pummel U.S. Navy nuclear-powered aircraft carriers (CVNs). Most prominent among them are its DF-21D and DF-26 antiship ballistic missiles (ASBMs), which the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has made a mainstay of China’s anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) defenses.
Beijing has made believers of important audiences, including the scribes who toil away at the Pentagon producing estimates of Chinese martial might.
Scary. But the U.S. Navy has carrier-killers of its own.
