I am not worried about PLAN, much. Their subs are dangerous and have good chance of bagging a carrier. But if it’s a carrier battle they want, by all means, bring it on.
I am worried about the PLA’s DF-21D and DF-26 anti ship ballistic missiles. If they work, they’re a potential game changer.
I am also worried about the damage to the USN’s professional skills over the last decade or so. We have taken naval supremacy for granted for far too long.
Not just our military’s professional skills.....but the rules of engagement we have been using accepts our military deaths over accidental civilian deaths.
