Interestingly enough, a few years ago there was some massive training exercise trying to find gaps in our defenses.
The OPFOR was being led an Marine General if I remember correctly.
He took out an entire CBG by using an overwhelming salvo of cruise missiles. While most of them were shot down, enough went through to almost completely wipe out the fleet.
He was also able to completely evade our SIGINT by using messenger that avoided using electronic forms of communications.
Granted, it was a simulation, a lot of which was played out via computers, but interesting food for thought none-the-less.
