Most interesting in that it is reminiscent of an article I read a while ago about the possibility of this exact scenario playing out. The sinking of a U.S. Aircraft carrier would result in a dramatic shift in the playing field, and the Chinese could do it without getting stuck with the responsibility.

Thank goodness for the Phalanx, and the Sea Ram.

Both are combat proven, and the Sea Ram is specifically designed to defeat super sonic sea skimming missiles.

Let's just hope it doesn't happen any time soon.
