Why are nations still investing in large surface warships if AShM are so advanced?

I get it, OP. It's a Chink thread. You had me for a second.

Because countries plan to use the ships to bully nations without AShM. Its all Tranny navy ever does lol.

because you overestimate the threat
because peacetime
because a missile can't deploy marines, locate and hunt pirates and provide a show of force thousands of miles away.

Because they're a pretty good platform for launching anti ship missiles.

Because where else do you launch those missiles from

Because the capabilities of most AShMs are vastly overstated.

Okay bud

Because you still need something to carry the AShMs.

This. Also, having a mobile launch platform for missiles is a good thing.
