This sounds great!
The inherent characteristics of laser weapons, speed of light engagement, precision targeting, rapid shot generation and tunability, offer the opportunity for expanded engagement options against a range of threats. These features can enhance the ability of naval units to defeat large raids and to counter short time-of-flight threats such as rockets, mortars and artillery shells. Equally important, laser weapons could bend the cost-exchange curve between offensive and defensive systems that appears at present to favor the former over the latter.
Until you remember that lasers bounce off of mirrors.
If I was in the anti-access/aerial denial business and faced laser anti-missile defenses, I'd make all my anti-ship missiles nice shiny polished mirror-skinned weapons.
