[quote:DuckNCover:MV80NTA4MzIwXzgyMTM0MDYxXzRFQTZENTYy] [quote:Anonymous Coward 76809044:MV80NTA4MzIwXzgyMTMzOTg3X0FCNDA1RUVG] [quote:Anonymous Coward 76669091:MV80NTA4MzIwXzgyMTMzOTcxX0M1QkJFNzE1] [quote:Chaz Aldrin:MV80NTA4MzIwXzgyMTMzNjkwXzI3NjNCRDMw] Although the ChiComs DO have a larger Navy in RAW Numbers they have NO amphibious capability worth mentioning. They also count used and badly outdated craft which are hardly any tangible threat to the modernized U.S. Fleet. A few hundred speed boats with guys holding RPG's is added to these numbers. Again yes they do have numbers but it really just makes for a nice target rich environment when it's weapons FREE-- time Not to say they don't have some nice new specialty craft that deserve attention-- Rest assured those craft are on a constant watch list. [/quote] They do have a dozen or so very nice destroyers and an extensive submarine fleet. Their missiles are good too. They still can't go toe to toe with the US in blue water. But within a thousand miles of China they are absolutely capable of defeating a US fleet. In that locale their navy can exploit the cover of land based missiles, strike planes, reconnaissance planes, and sea based sensors. They are good enough in that geographical locale that disposition, sheer luck, and happenstance will probably be determining factors. The US simply can't charge in guns blazing. That's actually what China would prefer. They want a quick war. The US admirals would likely prefer a slowly tightening noose, starting with a long range blockade and denial of blue waters to China. [/quote] China will invade Japan next. [/quote] It would be more Taiwan than Japan... I'd expect the next move would be for the US to install offensive weapons in Japan and deem them for defensive purposes... Remember, Abe just stepped out of office. The next leader will be more aggressive towards China... [/quote]

China has the largest navy in the world. And it’s not just big, but it’s getting better...
“The PRC [People’s Republic of China] has the largest navy in the world, with an overall battle force of approximately 350 ships and submarines including over 130 major surface combatants,” states the U.S. Department of Defense’s 2020 annual report to Congress on Chinese military power. “In comparison, the U.S. Navy’s battle force is approximately 293 ships as of early 2020.”
