Well, the US and its allies will not launch even a single missile against Chinese assets to help Taiwan
It's not like they are going to say they are deeply concerned with their ability to project and maintain power within 500nm of China's shores, and that they have suspicions on the resolve of their allies in South Korea, Japan and Taiwan island.
Honestly, I hope they will declare a preemptive conventional war on China via a successful congressional vote and then send everything and everyone they have.
It's not a bluff. It's actual incompetence. Those mid-level military decision makers think that you won't know if it will hit if you don't fire it. They don't believe that you can accurately calculate maximum striking distance based on type and mass of propellant, material and shape, density of medium, etc. This mentality probably extends to upper-level decision makers too. They're probably never taken a physics course, or if they did, they did not actually understand anything.
They're wanking over munitions that cost like $50 gorillion each again.
Still an improvement over the original figures:
Cut in half! Mission accomplished.
If the Navy "intends" to spend $50 million per round, the reality is probably that they will end up spending $200 million per round. Nothing can get in the way of maximum profits for the MIC.
