Ya'll Nibbiars you are comparing a 70's era pans with a current with upgrading the weapon system for the current situations. Here I am comparing the capabilities and concept not a mere weapon systems.Yes, but how many of those missiles can even intercept a sea skimmer or a hypersonic threat? Do keep in mind that this is a design from the early 70's when the threat from such missiles was only just emerging. Pretty sure a Barak-8 has a higher Pk against the assumed target set compared to an early-generation SM-1MR or SM-1ER. So a CGN-42 class is going to be expending much more missiles to get a kill compared to a P-15A. Also, early AEGIS was quite basic compared to the AEGIS we have today.
