It's funny that we still have carrier battle groups.
Well, not funny in a humorous sense.
An attack with mach 6+ cruise missiles would ruin the battle group commanders day.
Possibly. However, I'd expect the Phalanx to have a pretty good shot at terminating the missile. Reaction time, target lock delay and cyclic rate of the CIWS are pretty small for a target that fast.
