US Marines gearing up to defend 'key' terrain near China are about to get a first-of-its-kind ship-hunting missile

Marines did a first-of-its-kind test of the Navy-Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System in June.
 
NMESIS, a ground-based anti-ship missile, is set to be fielded for the first time later this year.

It's one of many weapons Marines are developing with the goal of controlling "key maritime terrain."

Marines in California tested the Corps' new ground-based anti-ship missile in late June, just a few months before the service plans to field the weapon with a new unit in Hawaii, a milestone that reflects the Marine Corps' renewed focus on fighting alongside the US Navy to control important waterways in the Western Pacific.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
