First off, the FIM-9 Stinger is NOT a DO ALL for the military.
It's piss poor for air defense on a fleet wide capability.
Second, cruise missiles don't use silos. They use canisters, you dipshit. I would know.
Third, cruise missiles can be defeated. Be it through chaff, intercept missiles like the SM-2 Blk III/IV, Phalanx CIWS, or naval arty.
Fourth, aircraft can be chewed to shit by the above. Kinetic warheads, VT fuzes, and DU will tear airframes to hell and back.
Fifth, the Aegis system was DESIGNED for AIR DEFENSE. An airship with it's embarked aircraft and missiles is more than an inviting target for any ship equipped with Aegis and SPY radar.

You dig, brotherman?
