What we don't know is how many test article missiles have been launched successfully or not by the USN in that time?

Just because we have had two failures in 8 years the USN could have launched 10, 20 or even more with a 100% success rate. The weapons all come from a shared pool so it really could be just bad luck that we got two faulty units.
