Why do you worry about DF-21D which is not proven yet and has a very narrow application? The Chinese navy have submarines that can do a much better job at hunting the US CVBGs' without the use of any ballistic missle for the price of measly torpedo.

Allahpundit laid down the gauntlet with this question on China’s new anti-carrier weapon, the Dong Feng-21D ballistic missile:


A submarine nailing the carrier at the keel is a much better bet: take out propulsion, you take out the whole weapon system. Without propulsion, the carrier can’t make the 35 knots of wind over the deck that it needs to recover aircraft. And China has lots of submarines.

Everytime the US defense establishment is threatn'ed with a decrease in next years defense budget they have a 'the skys falling' media blitz to protect their piece of the pie. This next FY Defense Budget is already being fought by the Armed Services , especially the Navy through leaks to the media that will enhance their own pockets.
