I should have been more specific that my comment was about defending a super expensive asset like an aircraft carrier. I am pretty sure it’s cheaper to destroy an aircraft carrier vs building it. It also takes very long time to replace one. In world war 2 it showed that cheaper mass produced weapons usually were superior to expensive super high tech weapons in the long run.
