@nogisonoko5409 Missile also costs dozen times more and suffers a heavy CIWS allergy. Just like planes. That's why land artillery didn't go obsolete and isn't planning to.

@BeingFireRetardant Yamato and Musashi were missused, unsupported and were infamous for their lack of AAA capabilities compared to their sisters in other navies. Meanwhile the whole kamikaze tactics appeared solely because AAA of american ships was making the task of torpedo bomber pilot already suicidal and impossible to do in 99% of cases. Roma and Tirpitz are also famous for being victims of aviation, but morons forget that they were victims of STRATEGIC land based bombers. Something that can make "obsolete" even the nowaday supercarriers as none of them can fully defend itself against cruise missile carriers like B-1A/B or Tu-160.

@nogisonoko5409 your same arguments were brought up a lot for land artillery too. Difference is that they were all proven wrong, usually with embarassing results. And not only for artillery. "Cannons are outdated, missiles are the future" can be traced in many other fields, like F-4 and its eventual modernization to include one or to lack of modern SPAAG for close range air area denial in US arsenal right now. Newer tech? Like artillery guns with range of 200km? Yes, they are developed. But how do they help your case if they are counter argument?
