In Modern Naval Warfare - is the engagement essentially decided by which ship finds and accurately targets the other ship first?

I've been reading alot about the development of Naval Warfare recently. Gone are the days of broadsides when ships could take salvo after salvo and still win the day by out-maneuvering their enemy. It seems like this was somewhat the case even as late as WW2, with Naval Vessels going toe to toe with the enemy, before winning and limping back to harbour.

In modern times, it seems like once a missile computer system gets a lock on an enemy ship, that ship is fucked. Unless defence missiles shoot the incoming missile out of the air - that ship is sinking. In some cases, a ship missile can be fired from so far away that the recieving ship may not even get to fire back.

Am I wrong? Im just an amateur enthusiast so please enlighten me.
