During WW II US can outpace the allies and Axis signicantly by building new production facilities at large scale in the shortest Times.
They had the world biggest industrial and manufacturing base back then which enabled them to outproduce anyone if they wanted, but now they no longer have this base.

US close allies still churn out Destroyer, Frigates and Corvettes every year, and US itself still maintained core industrial engineering edge over their competitor and allies at significant margin. It just they don't focused and maintain at tier II industry doesn't means they can't build them. During WW II US can outpace the allies and Axis signicantly by building new production facilities at large scale in the shortest Times. With automation and large number of skilled and unskilled imigran willing to work and living in US anytime (including many from China itself), there is no problem for US to outpace China military industry output if necessary.

It just takes 50 cents to type "but no they dont have this base cuz i sez so". No higher thinking or argument needed.

It is frankly a waste of time right now (IMO). Hopefully dozens more arrive once this one declares the water is warm enough....so they make it worth my while.

Top 10 shipbuilding industries :

1. China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation : $42.15 bil
2. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries : $35.97 bil
3. Hyundai Heavy Industries : $33.89 bil
4. China State Shipbuilding Corporation : $29.88 bil
5. STX Group : $16.96 bil
6. DSME : $10.98 bil
7. Samsung Heavy Industries : $8.98 bil
8. Sumitomo Heavy Industries : $6.59 bil
9. Fincantieri : $5.17 bil
10. United Shipbuilding Corporation : $5.1 bil

Assuming Russia (#10) is China's ally, total for China (#1, #4, and #10) is $77.13 bil.

While total for the U.S. allies (the rest) is $118.54 bil.

We're totally disregarding U.S. data here and yet China's still behind :)

Now you are resorting to smearing and slandering, I m not even a communist member and you call me a 50 cent without any proof or evidence, this is not a mod should do. don't let bias and hate blind your mind. This forum is for cool headed, civilised discussion, not insult throwing and baseless personal attacks.

Thing is:

A) how much tonnage do military ships make as % of total marine tonnage?

B) how much value do warships make as % of total shipping sector?

If we have these ratios, I think it will be apt to see military base is not 1:1 to larger commercial base.

Because they don't need to do so, instead they still maintained core high level industrial power like Research and Development of new frontier technology, Chip and other stuff related to microprocessing units design and development, High powered and reliable Turbojet engines and other turbo engines, and among other, frontier level of robotic technology and AI Development and among other. With all of their capability and capacity they can created many industrial engineering center to create anything they deemed necessary to do so.

US simply can outsource anything to their allies when she deemed it is necessary or building new industrial base in their turf, but currently it is not, and everything is well within their scope.

I believe they can, but it takes time. like during the coronavirus, they can't even make masks and PPEs, it's not because they are unable to do so, it's because the supply chain is gone and it takes time to rebuild them.

Like I said, when you prove you are less of a waste of time, I will engage more then.

Till then acting like a duck, gets called a duck. I could be wrong, I could be joking or some combination of both...who is to tell?

But if you find that applicable to you seriously (this huge trend thats developed among chinese posters in internet boards), that's on you....not me.

...and if you are not so, please act different then.

That includes things like not coming into a thread and calling an entire country "cowardly" and "weak" for starters.

I haven't even started exploring what the Nanjing and Mao complex even is. I will save that up for later if and when more of your type shows up.

Till then its probably best you just ignore me when I am talking to others....or just ignore me all together if you can't stand what I say. That should be pretty simple.
