Propably in sense, that now U.S. Navy ships will be able to shoot back. Existing Harpoon missile has relatively short range by modern standards especially when compared to Russian and Chinese missiles. Also newest Arleigh Burke-class destroyers do not even carry Harpoon. Their only truly offensive missile (beyond Standard SAM in surface mode) is Tomahawk which (as far as I know) in its current configuration isn't very suitable for anti-ship use.
