All they all do is steal from us.
We have the blueprints
Death from below.
Or above.
You must be joking. Would you have sex with Michelle?
Anyone know how to make Cal tables for all that shizznit?
Re “All they have to do is steal from us. We have the blueprints”.
They “have” (re steal) and “have” re the blueprints. The next Red Chinese move will be for the PLAN to try to sell them to us under another name. The Commie version of “chutzpah on steroids”.
Negatori, its FUbar wave off.
It’s all a bit of chess
I had the honor of spending some time with Commander Peter J. Graef last year. Quite an interesting gentleman.
China and Russia have been busy with their expansionism programs.
Salute! :)
Your article doesn't answer it's headline, but the relevant fact is the US decommissioned the last of our frigates in 2015, intending to replace them with LCS class ships.
If I understand correctly, LCS are not intended to be warships, but rather stealthy platforms for sunbathing & close-to-shore girl watching.
They are equivalent to smaller Corvettes in other navies.
My point is: the Chinese 054 class will never go up against an equivalent US Navy ship -- our LCSs will run & hide.
So what about US destroyers & cruisers?
Those are double to triple the size of Chinese frigates and carry correspondingly more weapons with longer ranges.
So in theory our destroyers should make quick work of Chinese frigates unless, potentially, overwhelmed by numbers.

So does everyone else. The only secrets left are those our government says don’t exist, even though everyone and their nearest relative know do exist. And they know we know, and don’t really care but continue the charade. And liberal US citizens play along like good little children so the game continues because the bad little conservatives are just as bad in another way for not screaming foul.

Oh goody. More targets.
Some chinese admiral says if they just sink a few American aircraft carriers, we’ll be intimidated and surrender.
