In that case, then land based TBM and ABM's will face the same destiny, dont you think??
Atleast in the open seas, if you have enough ASW resouces to comb it, along with an AEGIS equipped resource for TMD, I guess you can safely assume that the battleship can deliver its punch.

don't you feel the assymetry? Yes you need to spend much more resources to design and sustain defencing systems than your enemy would spend to design and sustain systems to attack it....

Its been the case all the time. Most of the Russian missiles and torpedoes are developed just keeping that in mind.
But USA still builds bigger ships, while Russia still is building longer range missiles and torpedoes.
In the other battleship thread one of the Soviet commander said If we ever face one of those battleships (I think Iowa), it'll really be a night mare for the Soviet fleet or something of that sort.
