Warzone/The Drive: Alarming Navy Intel Slide Warns Of China’s 200 Times Greater Shipbuilding Capacity
The Office of Naval Intelligence is sounding the alarm about the huge gap in U.S. and Chinese shipbuilding capacity and its implications.
A U.S. Navy briefing slide is calling new attention to the worrisome disparity between Chinese and U.S. capacity to build new naval vessels and total naval force sizes. The data compiled by the Office of Naval Intelligence says that a growing gap in fleet sizes is being helped by China's shipbuilders being more than 200 times more capable of producing surface warships and submarines. This underscores longstanding concerns about the U.S. Navy's ability to challenge Chinese fleets, as well as sustain its forces afloat, in any future high-end conflict.
In a statement to The War Zone, the U.S. Navy has confirmed the authenticity of the slide, seen in full below, which has been circulating online.

WNU Editor: The Pentagon has confirmed the above slide.
The above report confirms what I fear. If a war should break out between the US and China and it lasts for a period of time, the U.S. will be forced to use their nuclear arsenals to offset the conventional military advantages that favor China.
There are multiple signs pointing towards war. For example the chinese no longer cooperate with the TOP500 list of supercomputers.Ie they no longer want foreign(especially american eyes) taking a look at their newest supercomputers.There are at least 2 possibly 3 chinese supercomputers that are operational and roughly comparable to the top US supercomputer but due to a desire to not allow foreigners take a look at it they cannot be included.There is only one reason the chinese are doing this.War is coming and they want to keep their systems that are obviously intented to be used in that war as unseen as possible.
ReplyDeleteOr war seems possible and given the insults from US pols, China is not playing nice any more.
DeleteIt's not what you have but how you use it, Nelson proved that.
ReplyDeleteWhy would WNU be worried? He is not American, but a Canadian. Is he a Canadian with a dual passport?
ReplyDeleteOf course Canada is as well protected as Andorra is by Spain and France. If Spain or France fall, Andorra would last less time than snowflake in the heliosphere. If America falls Canada is pretty much a Warsaw Ghetto in 1944. After all Trudeau has done so much for the preparedness of Canadian armed forces.
Pretty much all Russia has on China as a deterrence is its nuclear forces. That is the same as America. That is what really worries. WNU. If the US kneels, WTF does China need Russia for? Russia will be the second partner or not needed at all.
Given relative population and Chinese mitigation to Siberia, maybe we will see little green men in Siberia.
big wow
ReplyDeleteThe chickens come home to roost.
ReplyDeleteThank your Blobber friends and leaders, who fattened their pockets by sending American industry and capital to the Chinese mainland. And especially those bastards who preached that it would make us stronger like Krugman. Lies and evil from evil lying creeps
As pointed out several months ago on this blog. The US will not win in a war, especially a protracted war, with china.
Just like those strategy games you play. Why do you think they are all based on economic development? Their is historical precedent for that.
The Elites of this country in: Big Gov, Industry and the MSM sold us down the river starting in the 1970's
Best and brightest...bullshit.... more like dumb and dumber

ReplyDeleteFaz that may be true
ReplyDeletetwo issues
Military quality control is much stricter that civilian QC in china
Quantity has a quality of its own.
The germans found that out the hard way.
