Chinese Carrier Deployed in Exercise in South China Sea

ITT:
"Frog" trusts Chinese numbers

You're missing the point, by a LOT.

I'm not. The Chinese are downplaying it as fuck.

No you are you say they have 0.
I post a vid of the first launched last summer, when we're speaking of the insane rate the pop out ship.
They have one at sea and 6 in construction, as in hulls laid down workers working on them 24/7.
Also you don't realize how fucking obsolete and old the Ticos are.
The Obongo admin slashed their upgrade early on meaning only 8 received a mid-life upgrade (10+ years ago…).
They're slated for retirement NEXT YEAR, with the USS Bunker Hill in January and one every 6 months after that leaving only the few that were upgraded. The USN is trying to get 4 and upgraded right now, but it's not officially on the budget, to be able to keep 11+1. If they fail to do so the USN will simply have no more cruisers on a short term.

So right when Chinese prod' will start to kick in the deliveries, the Chinese fleet will grow of 2 cruisers every time the US loses 1.
Meaning that by 2020 you will have 18 Ticos and 7 type 055 but by 2025 the USN will have maybe 11 Ticos (8 sure) and the PLAN anywhere from 7 to 21.

But hey everything is great, there is nothing to worry about.

I said they have 0 in service, and they don't. They launched one and are constructing a few.

And will they construct twenty of them by 2025? You are starting to grate on my nerves.

Oh so you're not actually asian, just retarded.
The one they have, they made in 18 month, which isn't even that fast.

They made the Shandong, a fucking aircraft carrier, in 25 months.
Ticos were made in 15 months (13 towards the end, because the more you make the faster you go). But Ticos were made in 3 slots and they made 27 in 11 years.

If you have 6 slots at 18 months, how many can you make in 7 years?

A shitload.

IS the US navy complacent as in need a good busing on their nose?

They launched 1, are making 5, and 8 is the total planned for this class of ship. Oh also they're the equivalent of Arleigh Burkes not Ticonderogas, we have 65 of those. The number 65 is much larger than the number 8.

Your pipe dreams just won't happen.

It's a wholly Russian design, and they gutted all the things that make this design viable. As it stands it might not even be as capable as a Wasp LHD.

Factoring in ineptitude I'd say even if there was 1:1 ship parity between the two the US would still come out on top.

The entire US military is, user. We regularly embarrass ourselves trying to fight goatfuckers in a desert, what do you think is going to happen if an actual war breaks out?

Don't kid yourself. China has enough cargo ships to sink the entire Burger navy.
