The Chinese have a new rocket in their pocket

This is from the January 7th Infragard daily bulletin:

13. January 6, C4ISR Journal - (International) Navy intel chief: Chinese missile is effective. The U.S. Navy’s intelligence director said January 5 that officials were surprised by China’s rapid development of a ballistic missile thought capable of striking ships at sea. “Their anti-ship missile - we underestimated when they would be competent and capable in delivering a technological weapon of that type,” said the vice admiral, the deputy chief of naval operations for information dominance and the Navy’s intelligence director. He was referring to development and testing of the Dong Feng 21D, a land-based anti-ship ballistic missile that officials now say has reached its initial operating capability. Analysts said the missile leaves U.S. aircraft carriers vulnerable to attack, as the technology the missile utilizes increases its probability of being able to hit a moving target.
