Don't forget sea mines. We have the ability to deliver them covertly by submarine (some can swim to find their assigned resting place), or overtly by aircraft, a whole bunch at once. Some are able to be selectively armed or disarmed. Offensive mining will, in my estimation, play a major role in any South China Sea conflict to come.
