Hahaha 'naval bad-assery'. Yeah during the independence war the newly formed US navy performed admirablly against the royal navy. There was an article describing an 1 on 1 engagement between two frigates, the british frigate ended up surrendering. If the US had some 1st rates then it could have been very interesting.
Anyway Bombay Dude (you guys sure say 'dude' a lot, dude), if you read Martian's posts back a few pages, he concluded himself the ASBM is a strategic asset and therefor should never been used. It will likely escalate to nuclear doom. Its mere existence (helped by other more conventional platforms such as subs, stealth fighters, cruise missiles, radars, surface fleets) serves the purpose, which is to prevent/delay US involvement should china find itself in a crisis with neighboring countries.
Gambit, if you think your government taking the ASBM seriously is a mistake, I would suggest you write them a letter instead of posting here? After all isn't this what democracy is all about? Here is your chance to be a patriot and prevent your country to waste your hard-earns on developing new systems to counter a nonexistent fantasy?
If I'm not mistaken the DF21 ASBM are Second Artillery, let's all hope these guys are never called into action.
