"So, the US navy (surface ships) has nothing which can reach the PLAN ships when the PLAN ships are firing the worthless anti-ship missiles at them at a safe distance."If the Lassen has a general idea of where the Lanzhou is, it can possibly launch its SM-2's and SM-6's against the Lanzhou from 200 to 400km away. These would be very difficult for the Lanzhou to intercept since they are traveling at Mach 4+.
