Indeed, the AEGIS system can hit a Ballistic missile IIRC, so the CVBG has that covered, unless of course they employ the same techniques as the Soviets would have with their ASMs (what do we call the Dong Feng anyway...an ASBM?) and swarm launch them. AEGIS could take out four or five but one or two would still get through and from the angle of approach they would screw the flight deck if they hit, thus putting the carrier out of useful action.

Not an all powerful weapon, but still an interesting approach to the problem of circumnavigating CVBG defences.
