Err, any nuclear attack be it "mini" or regular is provocation to nuclear war. The US won't sit back and watch the Chinese blast our navy to bits with airburst nuclear weapons causing EMP. More than likely the US would strike back with nukes.
You don't get to avoid the whole balance of power/MAD card because your nukes were used for EMP only.

- PeterisP 13y agoWell, for USA there are only two possible kinds of war opponents - guerilla warfare or countries that have also nukes; and you're not that likely to use ships like the one described for Afganistan. The only combat use for the ship is against nuke-capable opponents, and MAD is not an excuse to build military systems that won't function in any serious war with the intended enemies.
