Phalanx they have 4 on a carrier and some on support ships but they can only engage so many targets at once. In a coordinated attack with decoys all coming into the target at once they can be overwhelmed numerically. Figure you use a ton of supersonic smart missiles augmented with hypersonic missiles. you can potentially shoot more ordinance from land than the carrier group would have enough ordinance to defend with.
