Nice target for Mk-48’s from an LA class boat...
The primary purpose of Chinese aircraft carriers is to intimidate smaller foes who don’t have the means to attack them back.
Aircraft carriers are the new dinosaurs. If a moving foxhole attracts the eye, so does a ship, and they are slow targets. If the Russians had to move their Black Sea fleet some sixty miles from the Ukraine coast to avoid destruction, imagine what Taiwan could do to a Chinese fleet invading from the mainland.

One LA class is being retired for every Virginia class that is commissioned.
And China isn’t even to LA class level yet.
There’s a sonar tech in Pearl Harbor right now listening to Chinese PLAN nuke SSNs entering and leaving harbor on Hainan Island...4,000 miles away.
A Russian nuke sub is quieter than a PLAN DE sub.
They are sh!t across the board.
Five years for the first one then the gooks mass produce them. They are learning....
