Excellent. We're going to need to strengthen the fleet for the day when we go at it against the Chinaman.
More Carriers, more Submarines, more Surface Combatants.
Nothing brings a bigger smile to my face than the thought of a thousand burning Chinese ships floating to the bottom, full of trapped and dying heathens made aware, at the last moment, of the true price of challenging American power.
Admittedly, I almost prefer the idea of Japan kicking China's ass alongside the United States, simply for the added irony.
Why do that? If the Chinese ever tried a large scale invasion across the Pacific, tactical nukes would be a far more efficient way to stop their fleet. In the middle of the ocean you also don't have to worry about pesky fallout and lingering radiation after the fact.
Ships like this should only be a second line of defense, to take down the few lucky ships that make it though our nuclear barrage unscathed.
ships floating to the bottom
wtf?
They likely have already stollen the design or paid the Democratic party for it.
