That’s on top of current antiship inventories and doesn’t include SM-6 antiship capability which has been bought at 125 per year now.

Precision Strike Missile will also get antiship capability around 2025/26. 1,200 are being bought from ‘23-‘27.

If it makes you feel better, the Air Force is purchasing 3,100 JASSM stealth cruise missiles from ‘22-‘27. That’s on top of the already 4,000 JASSMS in inventory.

Thats just now but more are coming to get it up to 10k with newer longer range missiles of the variant like JASSM-ER with about 1000km range and in future around 2000km range variant.
