When I was on active duty in the 70's and 80's this was a highly debated topic both within and outside the military.

Like WS Gilbert's modern Major General, my military knowledge though I'm plucky and adventurey (not really, but it rhymes) has only been brought down to the beginning of the century... how long will an aircraft carrier task force last against hundreds of hypersonic missiles?
Luckily I guess we won't need to worry about losing a fleet trying to defend Taiwan. Because no way will we try.
