The Order of Battle “should” dictate that any launch on our fleet is the basis for unleashing our Triad.
For the simple reason that China could numerically overwhelm the fleet’s ability to defend itself, even with these weapons.
As John Paul Jones served with distinction in the Russian Navy, do they have a warship named the Admiral John Paul Jones in their fleet? Just wondering.
I think the natural thing to do is to have a new class of subs, relatively large in numbers to have a half dozen on patrol around China at even given moment. Think guided missile frigate, but a submarine instead.
These things would be fitted with anti ship missiles and torpedoes. The anti ship missiles would have the stand off range to essentially sink anything the Chicoms have in the open water.
So if the Chicoms flex their muscle, we would nearly instantly have their fleet sunk and their country blockaded.
