And Jonsey is spot on. Just look at the resouces you need to use those huge spuersonic weapons. You either need a large warship (with escorts) better 2, a huge submarine with external help to find the targets (better 2) or a bomber fleet.
So in any case you need a modern sea surveilance system. MPAs and satelittes would be a must. The later means you need a capable launch system to launch your eyes in space when needed.
A surface warfare group must be capable of defeating the US submarine threat and an pre-emptive strike of an US carrier airwing. Imagine 36 Harpoon and HARM carrying F-18 e/Fs coming in. Each carrying 2 HARMS and 2 Harpoons. That gives you nicely 72 incoming ASMs and 72 ARMs. Or if the Hornets carry 4 Harpoons you have 144 subsonic but sea skimming ASMs coming in.
You will need a very capable airdefence system to handle them all without leakers. They might not be good enough to sink you main surface ship, but a mission kill is probably and even only if some escorts are damaged the Task Force is out of the war.
A submarine fleet would need more ships, as submarines can cover only a smaller area of the ocean. It will also need the surveillance network and it must be able to avoid detection by US attack subs and MPAs.
The bomber fleet is the next step. You need the targeting help and a number of bombers large enough to sautrate the defenses. With 1 missile on every aircraft you need at least 6-10 planes for a strike. Then you need some planes to train. So you will need 12 high performace bombers as they will have to evade the US Caps.
Addionally the US could possibly take out your bombers with a sublaunched Tomahawk strike while the carrier is still far out of range.
Compare this to a large fleet of multi role combat aircraft carrying a small missile. You could launch 72 planes of that type and easily saturate the defenses. The CAP won´t have a chance to defeat such a strike and the air defenses will be tested to the limits.
Furthermore you should remember that ships have only a limited number of reloads. So a small number of high performacne missiles is better for them then a large number of lower performance missiles.
And if you don´t plan on fighting the US it is wasted investment anyway. Obviously you don´t need to kill large civil ships. Damaging them is enough to kee them away from trying to dock at your enemies ports, because the insurances rates will increase tenfolds. And for a normal surfrace combat groups of a destroyer or two and some frigates a large number of small missiles will work anyway. You just need to render them inoperational and not blow them to pieces.
