You can build ships but ships do not a navy make—its about traditions, training, and how these are used. If it was just ships—Italian Dictator Mussolini would have beaten the British Royal Navy in WW II. China is trying to become a naval Power and its going to take more than some ships.

As much as this is an enjoyable “Ha Ha!” moment, it’s actually LESS embarassing than putting an Aegis cruiser on a reef right off of Honolulu, resulting in damage so bad the ship is decommissioned, which we did three years ago.
