If that’s the case to argue, explain how the will get there and how they play into an overall war plan.
The only case I saw on this thread was where they become part of an amphib group carried in an amphibious assault ship to get marines and supplies quickly ashore. I can see that, but rogue operations in Chinese coastal waters, no way. They would last 5 minutes.
Inside a carrier is how they get there. And you know for a fact the strength of the Chinese PLA there during a conflict, and that those ships would not last 5 minutes, or are you just guessing?
