"anti-supersonic missile systems"

Aw, that's cute. But hypersonic missiles have entered the chat

Don't give the US Navy too much credit by assuming it takes missiles to wreck their vessels when they have routinely proven more than capable of running into solid objects like their pilots are drunk at the helm.

My bingo card has cargo ship, sand bar, and corral reef for the surface ships. For the single attack submarine assigned to each carrier strike group the options are fishing boat, cargo ship, and side of underwater mountain. Sand bar, reef, and underwater mountain being the funniest options due to being stationary objects that the US Navy seems incapable of not running their vessels into.

It's around the right place to be nicknamed USS Evergreen Ford, too.
