Comment on Ship losses since WWII all due to air strikes. This is the first loss from a cruise missile. End of Carrier era. China-Taiwan war will go similarly

  Yeah, but its the signal of the end to Gunboat (or Carrier) diplomacy. Look at this map - the DF-21 boundary is the range that China can take out US carriers from land - 900 miles+. US's 14 Carrier strike groups are obsolete because of this. They won't be able to go anywhere near China if they invade Taiwan.

      I heard that. China claims that it can survive a tactical nuke. To be seen.
