Better check your facts, fren. S3 is for ICBM at high altitude and ASAT and LEO sats. S6 is multi role but not designed for hypersonic. Phalanx or laser probably best bet.
You don't think carrier groups are threatened by ballistic missiles? Need to get up to speed with what the Chinese have developed and why the SM3 was developed. The satellite shot was only a demonstration, but it's good to have the capability.
The SM6 is capable of negating high-altitude and terminal ballistic missiles. The latter are close to hypersonic vehicles. The block IB version in development since 2018 will be specifically capable against current hypersonic missiles.
I checked my facts. You are still wrong. There is something else you are forgetting. Currently demonstrated hypersonic missiles are good against fixed targets only. They would need more development to be able to engage a moving target. A Mach 10 shockwave is a terrible thing for a sensor to try to look through.
Wrong. Standard 3 and Standard 6 missiles in escort vessels.
