Excellent piece on the American Navy versus China.... Worth reading

[Godboy]

We hope

Neither side can be completely confident about the outcome

but I think Taiwan can be defended although at great cost

The US has 11 carriers, more than the rest of the world combined, and all of ours are nuclear powered. Furthermore, we are building 10 more super advanced carriers.

The entire worlds navy combined couldnt defeat the US Navy, let alone just China's bullshit navy. China's navy is not designed to wage war on the other side of the world . They are not a "blue water navy". They can mostly just defend their own coast (though admitedly, Taiwan is not that far, so China can do some stuff there).

In order to take Taiwan, they have to send ships full of men to take the island, but our subs will eat them alive.

That is not true at all.

We have 2 more carriers being built, the JFK and Enterprise. Both of which are going to replace the 50 year old Nimitz and Eisenhower which are going to be retired.

After that is the Doris Miller, which is expected to start construction next year and enter service in 2032 to replace the Carl Vinson. Two more are planned after that, once again to replace the older ships in the fleet as they only have lifespans of 50 years. And there are no "super advanced carriers" anywhere on the horizon.

You severely underestimate china

Do the research and you will find china is a formidable opponent in the South China Sea

china is a formidable opponent in the South China Sea

ONLY there though, and only because of their mid range missiles. Outside of their territory, they arent shit.

Thats more than enough to worry about

If china controls the South China sea it controls all the countries that border the sea along with 40-60% of world commerce

We arent going to just send ships into missile barrage range. We would take out most of their missile bases first with our long range missiles. Once most of their missile sites are removed, you send in the carrier groups, which will then be able to handle the much smaller number of incoming missiles from China. We have multiple defensive systems on numerous ships in the carrier group that can handle China's lessened missile attack.

If the Navy has not been corrupted too much by wokism I trust them to know the best way to defeat China
