re: Are our naval forces prepared for this?

I don't put any faith in what the Chinese put out. That's why I said "assuming these missiles work." In an earlier post I mentioned that it is very difficult to track and hit a moving target in the vast ocean with a ballistic missile.

China's anti-ship ballistic missiles may turn out to be worthless. But it won't be because US warplanes attack Chinese ships outside of the missile's range.
