The idea of an anti-ship ballistic missile has taken root in ChinaÕs military planning. The country is not only building more of its first version of such a weapon, the DF-21D, but has developed an anti-ship warhead for another such missile, the more-numerous DF-26, billed as having a 2,500-mile range Ñ more than enough to hit Guam from several hundred miles inland in China. In theory, that puts any naval adversary at risk long before it is in Chinese waters, let alone within striking distance of ChinaÕs coastline. That puts US carrier strike groups Ñ a linchpin of US power projection, able to hit any corner of the world at short notice with overwhelming force Ñ in a situation they have never before faced. For years, US war planners took for granted that American naval power could operate unimpeded anywhere on Earth and deliver strikes with relative impunity. If a missile can sweep that option off the board, it changes the balance of power not just in Asia, but across the globe.
