Better do a wee bit more research before you shoot your fingers off on the keyboard. Do an online search, nothing fancy, just check out the ICBM status, nuke warhead status, submarines, surface navy, and airplanes..... there's other stuff, but that'll do. |

I don't have to use google, Chief. China has NO Submarine status at all. They have ONE submarine missile boat called the Xia. This submarine has never been more than a harbor queen. In it's entire existence it has deployed ONCE to test fire a submarine launch missile. The rest of it's existence its sat in it's home port at Jianggezhuang. They have 18 ICBM's with questionable capability of reaching the US considering their long history of design flight failures. Their surface navy is a joke. Nothing better than a destroyer sized force with cruise missiles. Two years ago they sent their first surface ship on it's first around the world cruise. ONCE. Our attack submarines could wipe out their entire navy probably before they left Chinese territorial waters. They have little ASW capabilities to track our subs. Bombers and planes? None that can reach the US. The Chinese have no force projection outside of their territorial region. And China will never be a Hyperpower without a global force projection of power. To recap: 1. China has no credible ballistic submarines. The one they have is not operational. 2. China has 18 ICBM's with questionable capabilities. 3. China has a surface Navy with no aircraft carriers other than the one they bought from Russia and they've done nothing with it. They don't even have planes to go on the carrier. They have destroyers and frigates with old technology. 4. China has no strategic nuclear bomber force. NONE. You may be retired from the USN but you're an idiot. What were you a Yeoman or a Boatswain's Mate? You don't know anything about nuclear deterrent and it sounds like you really should stick to worrying about setting your Sea and Anchor detail and leaving the details of global strategic defense to the experts. |

I posed a military question, a NAVAL question. Obviously you're incapable of responding to the question, Chief Petty Officer. |

Well, no, I'm not an idiot, and I do know that China has about 90 submarines, more than 5,000 combat aircraft, an army of more than two million, and they have also just committed an additional $10 billion toward a updating the navy. Yes, it'll take a while, but fighting the Chinese is not a slam dunk. After all the bombs are dropped and all the missiles shot someone still has to go in and take possession with boots on the ground. BTW, I was a staffie...
