The chinese my have CIWS but not RAM, they do have a missile system, but its not RAM in any way shape or form.
The missile system they have are the HQ-61 using semi-active radar. and a range of 10km
(6.2miles) with manual reloading. a.k.a CSA-N-2 and is a very poor missile system...
Very good weapon. Back in the day we wanted the navy to go with the 30mm as in goalkeeper, but as you can tell did not. G/E (general electric) which which had control of the GAU-8 Avenger cannon at the time. It was cool to see the russin version of phalanx, Kashtan which has 2 30mm guns and 8 IR...
On all US ships carrie the MK-45 127mm/54 mod-1 or 2. But the O.H. Perrys carrie the older OTO Melara 3in. (76mm) Mk-75 Dp-gun. Now that type of ship most likly can't get much bigger then the 57mm now maybe max would be the 3in. 76mm Dp. gun.
Barak I/II are very good anti-missile missile...

I don't know what the big worrie about china is with carriers? First they don't have ANY carrier experince. Its not the easyest thing in the world to do. You just can't get a carrier and put her to sea, and think all is well. You have a airwing to run, you have to have a sizeable fleet to...
Yes, this is true but you must rember india has a sizeable navy! As a threat from the US against Pak. well yes its possible but not likley. I would worrie about india first.
Only SAMS are most likly going to be NATO Sea Sparrow and RAM missle system.
I also want to address the issue of a few other post about this ship being at the end of it life. This is not true, "Golden rule, NEVER UNDER ESTIMATE YOUR ENEMY"
Yes, these ships are up there in age, but...
