Should have asked, does “NOT “BMD” CAPABLE” (Ballistic Missile Defense) mean no anti-missile defense at all, or simply the high-arcing trajectory stuff?

I’m a total seapower newbie and Wikipedia ain’t pulling its tonnage here for me. I suspect the same is true for the entire adminsitration, US Congress and those contractor-oriented conslutants running the Navy. Just saying’, y’know?

What do we need to do? Mount freaking Patriot batteries on Coast Guard Cutters? Hmmm, would that work?

Time to call in the Army?
