USS Mustin was just going to South Taiwan to put in crew orders for Chinese take out.

We will take them out!

Did the PLN shoot?

No.

Paper Tigers.

They could REPLACE/REPAIR their loses very quickly. WE CAN’T.

I’m old enough to remember when people claimed that Chinese anti-ship ballistic missiles couldn’t hit US surface vessels. But they most certainly can.

The Chinese do not have the ability to provide accurate target location data to a missile once it's launched. A carrier will not be in the same location where it was spotted and it takes more than 30 minutes for a missile to get from the launch site to the carrier's last known location. By the time the missile gets to where the carrier group was last seen it will be long gone from there.

Sidenote: I was moderately horrified by Trudeau's betrayal (I know, he's a creep, but still...) in granting the Chinese private use of one of Canada's former NORAD Ballistic tracking bases. A Canadian recently encountered "pilots" based there for 18 months, who told them others had been there for 3 years +. WHo knows how long they've been there "training" pilots.

The navigation hacks that where crashing our ships is now repaired (my opinion.) China responds with a carrier following our ships around. This is a sign we’re winning this fight against China even if the media tells you otherwise

Was China doing the navigation hacks - or Russia? What's your best guess?
