What did you contribute? what do you expect me to contribute?I know u have nothing to contribute ... Will Ignore ur further posts on this thread !!!!!!
I totally disagree with this. With the Chinese having a bigger populations, bigger economy, bigger ship building capacity, within 5-10 years China will have over taken the US navy is large warships. The LHD's are a joke and a waste of money in my view. The 7,000 ton frigates are less capable than the Arleigh Burkes, but at the same time will not be built in large enough numbers to have a greater strategic effect. The Virginia class submarines are far to expensive and our not as good as the Astute class. 10 US carriers isn't enough for their strategic needs, they need at least 12, ideally 16. They are under strength in that area. F-35 is great and you made a great point about US air craft production being much better than China. However all China has to do it take out one American carrier and the US can't replace it. All they need to do is take out an American cruiser and they can't replace it. The Chinese can replace their losses. That's what having smaller, cheaper, simpler ships does for you, and having the great build capacity.China definitely has highest ship building capability in the world, but regardless United States Navy is so far ahead of everyone with nearly 100+ 10,000 ton combat warships, 11 Aircraft Carriers, another 11 LHDs that alone can carry 20 F-35Bs, biggest and most advanced fleet of nuclear submarines, 20+ 7,000 ton frigates coming in the future. It will take decades upon decades to even match half of this capability, and that is if USN itself doesn't decide to expand, USN has had no existing threats for 20+ years since USSR collapsed, I imagine with rival navies expanding, they will also further expand their navy.
Not to mention no one can match aircraft production of USA, US Navy has 2nd most powerful Air Force in the world, and its air power is really where the main advantage lies, a fleet of F-35s/F-18s armed with LRASMs can pretty much wreck havoc on any Navy without even the need of having to conduct strikes from ships.
US navy is still the best in the world, but they can't win a battle if it's fought near China and China has no interest to fight a sea battle in Europe. besides, China used just 20 years to transform from the world poorest equipped navy resorting hand grenade to fight a sea battle to the world biggest and one of the best equipped navy, think about another 20 years down this line.China definitely has highest ship building capability in the world, but regardless United States Navy is so far ahead of everyone with nearly 100+ 10,000 ton combat warships, 11 Aircraft Carriers, another 11 LHDs that alone can carry 20 F-35Bs, biggest and most advanced fleet of nuclear submarines, 20+ 7,000 ton frigates coming in the future.

All military might depends on economy, with US declining economy, it can't afford to have such a large navy, just like it can't afford foreign wars now, we'll see US closing or downsizing foreign bases, withdrawing foreign military personnel and retiring warships, it's already happening now.
Relative declining comparing with China, China'll vertake US economy in GDP nominal term in this decade. in PPP term China has a far lead already.declining economy? US economy is not declining Lol, in fact its one of the fastest growing in the developed world, and its military budget continues to rise.
Then what they are waiting for? they simulated several sea battles with China in SCS and the result is they lost every single one.United States can wipe out most of your navy from distance using its vast amount of air assets or through massive fleet of nuclear submarines which China has no real answer to.

US navy can't win a battle in South China Sea? 2 B-1Bs equipped with 36 LRASMs each can pretty much sink half of your navy, not even talking about large number of submarines with some having 144 Tomahawks each.
and this doesn't even include all the allied countries in the region which can house future ground based anti-ship launchers such as Naval Strike Missile and even long range hypersonic systems which can be rapidly deployed around the world by marines.

So, apart from untested "carrier killer" China likes to scream about, what does China actually have to rival the massive naval and air power?
Chinese shipbuilding can do much better than this, US can't match Chinese shipbuilding might. the future is China's.
Frankly, I totally agree with that. As a citizen of a NATO member country,i think that the military,political and economic power of China 10-15 years from now will be huge.
Ha, Your wishful thinking, no one trusts India in south Asia and US being regarded as the biggest threat to the world peace is more like it.Nobody in world trusts them except for few fan boys who are under heavy debt.. CPEC is struggling.. Sri Lanka is prime example of their debt diplomacy & nations are wary of Chinese nefarious plans....
Who agrees with you? China's economy is growing robustly daily, Covid had been wiped out, importa and exports hit record high each passing month. what about internal situation in US and India? All perfect?Many will not agree with me but Chinese internal situation is also not good.. Xi is under pressure and I see a war in near future to pump up the nationalistic fervour... And hide his own failure..
Lol,Nepal said india is more important to Nepal than China would ever be,shri Lanka after being hunted by debt trap diplomacy is suffering from food crisis and now is looking for India.Ha, Your wishful thinking, no one trusts India in south Asia and US being regarded as the biggest threat to the world peace is more like it.
India has terrible relations with all its neighbors, next time when speaking about other countries neighbors, look into the mirror first.Lol,Nepal said india is more important to Nepal than China would ever be,shri Lanka after being hunted by debt trap diplomacy is suffering from food crisis and now is looking for India.
Emerging countries in the history copy from others when first developed, including US who copied from European powers first. China also follows the same path, but China is catching up fast. China has what it take to be technological power, highly intelligent minds , hardworking ethnics and endless funds.Quality vs quantity.
The epicenter of free creative brains VS following copy-paste economy.
