China Panic: USS Abraham Lincoln fired RIM-116 Missiles toward China DF-26 in the Pacific Ocean

The recent missile firing exercise by the US Navy's USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier demonstrates the service's commitment to improving and maintaining its layered ship defense systems. This move is especially crucial given the rising threat posed by Chinese "carrier-killer" missiles such as the DF-26 and DF-21, which can target US Navy carriers from distances of up to 2,000 and 1,000 miles offshore, respectively. These weapons present significant anti-access/area-denial challenges for the Navy's power projection capabilities in the Pacific region, particularly about the South China Sea and mainland China. By continuously refining its defensive strategies and upgrading critical elements of its carrier defenses, the US Navy aims to counter these emerging threats and ensure the safety and operational effectiveness of its carrier strike groups.
