While I don't doubt the capability of the LRASM, isn't it a bit foolish of the USN to bet everything on one horse?Imo, which is admittedly completely unqualified, perhaps a Hi/Lo mix with regards to Hyper/Supersonic AShMs and Subsonic AShMs would be the most solid option.When I look towards countries like China and Russia, both having developed their anti ship munitions with the idea of engaging potent missile defenses in mind, I see a wide array of subsonic, supersonic and hypersonic missiles, including ballistic missiles.So I wonder why the USN seems rather content with keeping a single air launched AShM relegated to said role.
