Didn't the Japanese have several carriers in WWII and they were supposed to make battleships obsolete.

I can't see US falling behind with what I see as a veiled threat from putin.Spy satellites must have been homing in beforehand on what they and China were up to.Even the secret Star Wars Reagan defence you mention was beyond the public imagination.
You may have probably seen from that time the clip of an unidentified flying bright light ball heading for earth suddenly turn away from an upward firing 'missile' or laser so I think by now the West is hypersonic aware.
