Do you know ho many SLICMs and SLIRBMs the Chinese have? Here's a hint, you can count them on one hand and have three fingers left over. If you go for the number that are reported operational, you'll have five fingers left over. At any rate, these aren't survivable against US SSNs.

Lord, where's Jeff Head when you need him?

Hey Jeff, China ain't no Dragon, she's just a pussycat!

The only Type 094 SSBN was launched in December and isn't yet declared operational. The Xia, which it replaced, was also a single unit and was taken off of operational status. The JL-2 missile has a 4500 mile range, which requires significant travel to hit the US. Very perilous with every US SSN looking for you as you leave port. Is this supposed to make us quiver when the Chinese rattle their sabres?
