Business Insider: In a war with China, the US Navy's warships might not be the first target
* To fight a war in the Pacific, the Navy and Marine Corps would rely on the military's logistics fleet for food, fuel, and ammunition.
* But that aging fleet, already taxed by technical problems, is likely to be one of the first things China attacks, a former chief of US naval operations said this week.
US Navy warships have been on the front lines in the Western Pacific, carrying out freedom-of-navigation operations and other exercises to counter Chinese claims and to bolster allies in the region.
But in a conflict with China, those ships won't be the only or even the first targets, as Beijing will seek to eliminate the logistical support on which the US military relies, according to retired Navy Adm. Gary Roughhead.
"We neglect logistics, and logistics is how this country has won wars," Roughead, who was the chief of naval operations from late 2007 until his retirement in 2011, said at a House Armed Services Committee hearing Thursday.

WNU Editor: The Chinese would do what the Americans would do in the beginning of any major war. Target command and control. Key bases. Communication centres. Logistics will be later.

WNU,
You are right and there is solution for the logistic too.
I always thought a submarine oiler was a good idea. Pop up next to a warship, refuel and disappear. Better still, connect to warship from underneath via hose and stay hidden.
The Chinese way of warfare is using areas of denial and paramilitary solutions and proxy warfare as long as full on conflict can be avoided.
If full on confrontation is deemed necessary or unavoidable, the Chinese will focus on expanding and hardening all areas of denial that are of strategic importance, while at the same time hitting any and all assets that pose any immediate threat to their homeland. Guantanamo for sure if the Chinese believe they're in a full war scenario. And they will try to go for a full kill strike too and will blame it on the US - together with Twitter,YouTube and Democrats. The easy to manipulate masses will go demonstrate if Pelosi tells them to our if another man of the right colour is killed (must not be a white man though because who gives a shit then..any marches for dead white men ever? :))
Then, they will make the assessment if the US would use nuclear weapons of tactical sort like the low yield, non salted B-61s. The answer with Trump will be a resounding yes as he knows that the US has the upper hand still in nuclear warfare, number wise at least and got several good delivery mechanisms. So, as soon as we see any large scale military conflict going longer than a day between these two nations- say a few US ships sunk by a mix of paramilitary fisher boats with torpedoes on board and Chinese swarm of destroyers and subs, you cannot be sure anymore what will happen next.
The Chinese are extremely patriotic to an extend they become blind to what they do. I know so first hand. They do 100% believe the West always blames them. They do 100% believe it is their time to rise. None of them wants to discuss the human rights abuses. None of them wants to discuss the concentration camps. None of them want to hear about the organised theft on the trillions. Absolute perfection of mind control thanks to the Chinese propaganda and social scoring and peer pressure system. If you want to live, you better get with the program - everyone does. Why you so difficult?
Democrats and the MSM are close to that perfection. Far exceeding anything Russia ever had at home or currently has.
The race to completely indoctrinate every nations' people is on and the factions you see now are the factions you will see on the battlefield.
If Democrats do not wake up to how fascist they have become..their mobs. .Antifa. ..Maxine waters and Hillary Clinton. .the calls to intimidate and harass people. .the calls to end due process. ..the beating of thousands of men for their political beliefs as long as they are white and on the wrong side. .the shaming of Black men and women if they Happen to like Trump ...the Lack of any journalistic or moral integrity. ..the Lack of scientific and medical integrity.
It's terrible. And they call Trump a fascist and bigot. The irony.
