#2  As most recently illustrated by INDIA's test-firing of a SRBM from a ship, US GMD-TMD planning will undoubtedly have to include lauch offensive launch scenarios such as these.

E.g. CHINA > the CMC + PLAN is looking into dev hybrid MULTI-VLS ARSENAL/FIRE SHIPS to complement their defense of the CHINA SEAS + EAST ASIA from the US NAVY.
