exactly that's why the US is investing in VLO and AI capable anti ship missile to negate combined enemy fleet sensors,as well as investing in future EW platforms.NO SINGLE SHIP SAIL ALONE AT OPEN SEA THERE ARE MULTIPLE SHIPS, MEANS MORE SHIPS SENSORS (AESA/IR ELECTRO-OPTICS) SYSTEMS FROM MULTIPLE ANGLES CAN DETECT THOSE SUBSONIC ANTI SHIPS MISSILES MUCH EARLIER THAN SUPERSONIC ONE, FOR EXAMPLE USN ESTIMATE SUBSONIC ONE HAS REACTION TIME OF 150-200 SECONDS (2.5-3 MINUTES) SECOND FOR DETECTION/ENGAGEMENT, WHEREAS SUPERSONIC ANTI SHIP MISSILES HAVE ONLY REACTION TIMES OF 25 SECONDS FOR DETECTION AND INTERCEPTION, SO WHICH ONE IS MORE LETHAL, YOU TROLL
So yes the US approach is more lethal.
