Question:

If one carrier is targeted by 20 Fu Manchu's Dong Feng missiles, another 20 cruise missiles released hundreds of miles away, 10 torpedoes, can the carrier survive the 50 simultaneous threats?

There are times in combat when quality comes in 2d to quantity. Quantity us what the Commies do. They took 20 million casualties in WWII, a million casualties in Korea, another million in VietNam, killed millions in Gulags ... quantity is what these commie SOBs do.

I suspect we have something up our sleeve that we all just don’t know about yet.

I hope its REAL good. Like a total game changer.

That hyper sonic X-51 Waverider thingy looks real promising.

That’s death coming to you at Mach 6.

I’ve posted this in a previous thread about carriers at risk. We lost six carriers to enemy action {sank} in WW2. The Langley, Lexington, Yorktown, Wasp, Hornet, and Princeton. The threat was always there and always will be. The more modern systems built by enemies to sink one the more modern system we should build to detect and counter. The Pentagon needs to get on the ball about defense programs.

All they really have to do is launch as much aircraft as possible.

China's rising military might will not force the U.S. Navy to change the way it operates

Our own Navy is doing that. The Admirals themselves are destroying the Navy by allowing gays to serve.

Already one queer officer who didn't like his FITREP played the "gay card." The Navy is rotting in its very core.

SONOBUOY PING!

Click on pic for past Navair pings.

Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.

"At its most capable, the DF 21D could be launched from land with enough accuracy to penetrate the defenses of even the most advanced moving aircraft carrier at a distance of more than 900 miles (1,500 kilometers)."

A capability that has never been demonstrated even in a test flight.

When they can hit a towed freighter at 25kts...and no defense...in a test, then it will be time to consider other counter-measures.

Still, one rule remains: You sink a US Capital Ship, you have opted for total war.
