For those who haven't kept up with naval news, it might interest you to know that Admiral Paparo, the one interviewed aboard Nimitz, is now the next nominee for Chief of Naval Operations. He was even nominated for the job instead of the current Vice Chief of Naval Operations, likely because of his experience commanding the Pacific Fleet. If you're concerned about how things might go down with China, then make sure you listen to what he says he needs, and push your Congressional reps to support it.
Military isn't everything, but it feels really good to be an American citizen with an incredible military like this providing support at all times. The logistics and everything needed to support this stuff is crazy, and America has been operating like this for decades.
To most nations/school yard alphas, understanding another's strength/military force is nearly everything. No nation wants a nuclear war, it is a no-win situation. When a nation thinks they can win a nuclear war, then the world is in trouble. As an aging and disappearing population, China is desperate to show force - this is just as much to combat their population decline as it is to show their younger generation they are still powerful even with a lower birthrate.
@@helpfixstupid6190However, glad to have Alphas who have masculine energy versus silly Betas who adopts feminine characteristics, often faces problems or confrontations passive aggressively. Alphas make decisions, Betas make excuses 😂
Seldom does the American public hear from a military leader who expresses such a well balance of honesty and confidence. His leadership and advice should bear great weight in the decisions of the future. He reminds me of old school military leaders who speak very matter of factly.

There are quite literally no other contractors. its like Standard oil at its peak, a complete monopoly on oil, but this time its the top defense contractors that have that complete monopoly on the American Weapons and defense industry.

Both my kids are in the US military, one in the Navy. One of the problems the military is facing is manpower. Military recruitment is at a multi decade low. I spoke with a recruiter about a year ago and he said most candidates either fail the ASVAB test and/or the medical screening due to obesity/drugs. On top of that the Army and Navy have failed miserably in their marketing campaigns. They followed the same path as Bud Light. Backlash is not as bad as BL, but it seems to have a sufficient impact to reduce recruitment even further. The sign-on bonus for Navy nuclear technicians for the upcoming cycle is $75,000. Two years ago it was $38,000. It shows you how desperate they are. We might have great military equipment, but without the people it means nothing. There is a people problem that needs to be fixed.
Guys that are smart enough to get a 75k sign on bonus see that and laugh. They can make that in no time peddling stocks or simple online businesses. I think they would rather do that to make 75 quick then be told what to do in the military. You can't find good help these days locally. The job market is all jacked up now.
Too much social engineering in the military system. Wokeism, gender inclusiveness , pronoun classes, it is ridiculous all this BS is pushing out good recruits and killing our military. Peace time grandstanding and news videos for public appeal are never going to inspire the public to flood the recruitment office as long as those damned social engineering programs are pushed thru along with promoting officers just because they claim they are something other than the sexual gender they were born as. Wake up people we need men and good men to fight a real war and todays military won't be able to get the job done. If we fight China, over half the US Navy will be destroyed in the first few hours of such a war, and if ground troops are sent to Taiwan they will die there most assuredly. This is not the USA of the 40's, 50's,60's,70's , or 80's to early 90's. Our culture and government are totally out of touch with honor, decency,morality, and faith in God. Without those things in the overall strength we can not and will not win any wars . This government blasphemes God and our president openly commits the unpardonable sin damning his soul to hell, God has given America over to a reprobate mind in our leadership and destruction is what they will bring to us!
Depending on how you calculate frontline warship by size and armament, the US navy has fewer ships but 2-3 times the tonnage of the Chinese navy and 2.5 times the VLS cells used to contain ship launched missiles. The Chinese navy is in the middle of its modernization, not the end. This gap will shrink rapidly in the next decade rounding out in a peer force in 2045-2050.
Only with the completely incorrect assumption that while China modernizes, the U.S. just sits and does nothing the whole time. The reality is that we are evolving too, in ways no one in China and even here has any clue about without proper clearances. Not everything gets leaked.

11:34 When the American commander said "The US is also a Western Pacific nation" he started to smile, every viewer is smiling even the reporter. Because we all know that is a stretch.
Why not? Guam is part of US territory. The US has been patrolling the South China Sea for many decades, long before China built man-made islands in the SCS. There were no man-made islands before 2000. Now, China says SCS belongs to China. Even the International Court disagrees with China claims.
The navy orders ships without giving complete plans and changes things mid contract. The shipyard can't be expected to deliver on time and on budget with this poor planning.
The Chicoms has grown fast and this may be a problem when the overhaul logistics gets crowded. Some deep water ports and those up river channels are juicy targets. What’s also interesting is some of those ports have negative reputations
Rest assured all the chicom ports and supply lines have been targeted for quite some time and if war erupts those targets will be the first to be destroyed.
Yes, like the commander said at the end of the video, we orcha, the advanced mine laying drones. It made sense since the ground is water. This should help eliminate a lot of floating ships, in addition to US other things that are coming from above.
The number of ships is not the usual core measure. Tonnage is. If you had 1000 dinghy’s and canoes you would have more boats but certainly not be stronger than the USA, China or even the New Zealand navy. It is true that China now has more ships than the USA but certainly not better ones. Their aircraft carriers are much less sophisticated and they only have a couple of them….
@@cozmocrum8691We couldn’t do anything like that now, unfortunately. The ships are very complex to produce, take a long time to make, and we only have several shipyards that can build them.
Yeah. Be proud about the navy as the veterans didn't do a good job in Afghanistan. I read the news and it says thety left their equipment and ran away from Afghanistan. Smile.
There’s a video on china’s ability to build so many naval ships and it has to do with the amount of ports that they have. One particular ship building port is so large that it can build 5 ships at one time while in the US only 2!
ask yourself: why does U.S. maintain such huge military presence in the West Pacific which has few U.S. territories? The PLA expands its navies in response to U.S. military forces in that region.
A total cope from a losing side, if you pathetic Chinese welches could actually make an army to be feared you wouldn't hide behind words on the internet. Go ahead, attack the United States if we're such an oppressive aggressor. Oh wait, you won't, because your landfill of a country would be steamrolled by the might of the world's strongest air - land - sea coordinated armed forces.
The illegal fishing is what I can not stand. The Chinese has had 0 respect for the environment since they had a national leader. They illegally fish because they overfished all their rivers and coasts.
@@chiccngeorge3058The problem with the military is they are always fighting the last war. You, however, are fighting WW II. We let Germany and Japan go and conquer a bunch of countries and waited until they attacked us before getting involved. We are just making sure the aggressive country doesn't mess with other non-aggressive countries. Either you will learn from history or you will be doomed to repeat it.
The nuclear ballistic missile submarines are the most powerfull weapon in the Navys arsenal , they are able to get in close and launch nuclear weapons not giving an enemy much time to react....not carriers...IMO....I am a Navy vet from cold war era..
I'm an American, I support the home team for the most part, but all the Navy and govt people complaining about China not following international law, is pretty hypocritical when *nobody* from at least the last 3 or 4 administrations were ever charged with war crimes here or in international courts.
The US spent more than 4 times on military than we do, and they still complain. It seems that we should allocate more funds on our defense to face those maniacs
USN needs newer ships, the latest and best technology and an abundance of junior sailors who are motivated. The junior sailors will be the difference makers. They will be the ones who will have to fight the ship. Military recruitment is at a 25 year low.
There are new classes of Destroyers and Frigates being created. These will have a more efficient crew and hopefully there will be a on/off crews like SSBN's in the near future to relieve some stress on sailors.
@@Tbone1492 We have built 50 vessels in the last ten years. All of these(except a horribly misguided class of Litorral craft) were proven designs that work. China Carbon copied Russian Designs that were defeated by RC boats with bombs and Air to ship missile used by Ukraine. Most of China's fleet remains a very brown water fleet.
Get The Armed Services Committee to provide emergency funds to immediately start building in various shipyards. Newport News Virginia is critical at best. This would provide skilled tradesmen Labor. Both surface ships and submarines are a top priority for fleet production. Get the best leaderscin defense procurement and cut through the red tape. We need engineers to rapidly get congress to approve ship building operations on an emergency basis as China is massively moving quickly.
Air Force , Navy , Marines, Army, National Guard, Recruitment the list goes on and on , not to mention the 3 most powerful Air forces in the world in 1 single country
Of course, america is a seapower but america is losing most/all of its advantages on land. Chinas army will probably become the nost powerful in the world. China is expanding and modernizing its navy.
@@pathat8869 I don't necessarily think so. china military will surpass us eventually if our current incompetent president doesn't try to up our military game, but they won't surpass us because of land. We already have the most powerful tanks, ships, and aircraft, but we just need more. We have the best equipment in literally every category but the supplies of those is whats holding us down. I don't think we are losing any of the advantages of land technology wise but on supplies I agree.

The USN patrols the worlds oceans which ensures the ability of nations worldwide to trade peacefully. And the Admiral was describing the flight tactics of the Chinese fighters which are reckless and aggressive.
@@davidg3924 No, that's not why the USN patrols the world's oceans. It patrols the world's oceans to make sure that any trade that isn't done using US Dollars is deterred or intercepted. Why?

@@yumyumgimmesum who's to say the US will be in the wrong? You? And you can play the game "what if" or "if" all day.
Contact price gouging is hurting the US navy. They need to clean that up
That goes for the entire US military.
To solve this, you would need to increase the amount of Contractors which is rather difficult practically and political.
The navy orders ships without giving complete plans and changes things mid contract. The shipyard can't be expected to deliver on time and on budget with this poor planning.
Not true...
Love this admiral! He can speak for me anyday!
That’s because you are a silly person who loves politicians selling you BS.
The Chicoms has grown fast and this may be a problem when the overhaul logistics gets crowded. Some deep water ports and those up river channels are juicy targets. What’s also interesting is some of those ports have negative reputations
Rest assured all the chicom ports and supply lines have been targeted for quite some time and if war erupts those targets will be the first to be destroyed.
Yes, like the commander said at the end of the video, we orcha, the advanced mine laying drones. It made sense since the ground is water. This should help eliminate a lot of floating ships, in addition to US other things that are coming from above.
You can thank Nixon and the foolish US corporations moving/buying from China.
They’re using Russian diesel technology. They can’t travel much farther than 500 miles from their ports.
That US aircraft carrier on which the admiral stands would sure make a beautiful artificial island in the South China Seas
During world war 2,at it's peak, the U.S. navy was operating 6,768 ships in august 1945. Now, it has only 480 of which 290 are deployable.
2 years before ww2 there were around 700. its crazy how fast we built our navy during war. imagine what we could do now lol
The number of ships is not the usual core measure. Tonnage is. If you had 1000 dinghy’s and canoes you would have more boats but certainly not be stronger than the USA, China or even the New Zealand navy. It is true that China now has more ships than the USA but certainly not better ones. Their aircraft carriers are much less sophisticated and they only have a couple of them….
@@cozmocrum8691We couldn’t do anything like that now, unfortunately. The ships are very complex to produce, take a long time to make, and we only have several shipyards that can build them.
Compare 530 ship navy China 🇨🇳
Tbf not all of those were aircraft carriers and destroyers
Love the segment on "just Rocco". As presented, he seems like a really decent guy.

Kind of like the White House press secretary. She can’t comment on any of Bidens criminal activities

Thank you for the news about china and US A Navy,Keith ; that did excite me !
Being a sailor is a honor but being a naval aviator and serve America in the most sacred realm of the U.S. armed forces, is beyond words and feelings.
There’s a video on china’s ability to build so many naval ships and it has to do with the amount of ports that they have. One particular ship building port is so large that it can build 5 ships at one time while in the US only 2!
We have closed many ship yards. Given time those could be ramped up in emergencies.
You can thank Clinton's bs for part of that. He shut down ship building in CA and gutted other military services. That ruined many, many lives.
@@ajkendro3413 it wasn't because the workers wanted the yards closed..my dad misses the Philly shipyard

Most military equipment is powered by computers and China has the fastest.

I came for the story about the Navy. But the story of Rocco was the one which stays with me.
Same. Loved Rocco's story.
ask yourself: why does U.S. maintain such huge military presence in the West Pacific which has few U.S. territories? The PLA expands its navies in response to U.S. military forces in that region.
I do not expect a war or any escalation/tensions between U.S. and China. There are only losers.
Right. The piece said China is being provocative. It is the opposite.
A total cope from a losing side, if you pathetic Chinese welches could actually make an army to be feared you wouldn't hide behind words on the internet. Go ahead, attack the United States if we're such an oppressive aggressor. Oh wait, you won't, because your landfill of a country would be steamrolled by the might of the world's strongest air - land - sea coordinated armed forces.
lets imagine the world where the US wasnt doing that since WWII.
Imagine china having bunch of ships several hundreds miles away from the us west coast…
The illegal fishing is what I can not stand. The Chinese has had 0 respect for the environment since they had a national leader. They illegally fish because they overfished all their rivers and coasts.

@@MJ-fj9yv what quote
I feel like this is a rerun. I saw this awhile ago
The nuclear ballistic missile submarines are the most powerfull weapon in the Navys arsenal , they are able to get in close and launch nuclear weapons not giving an enemy much time to react....not carriers...IMO....I am a Navy vet from cold war era..
and after it happens, you will see yourself living under a bridge on I-10... congratulations.!!!!
But you have to have the cojones to launch those missiles, US doesn’t have those cajones.
If you have to get in close with a ballistic missile submarine, fire that captain. Those missiles have a 6000 mile range.
I'm an American, I support the home team for the most part, but all the Navy and govt people complaining about China not following international law, is pretty hypocritical when *nobody* from at least the last 3 or 4 administrations were ever charged with war crimes here or in international courts.
Great Story. Down to Earth Guy.
The US spent more than 4 times on military than we do, and they still complain. It seems that we should allocate more funds on our defense to face those maniacs
If y'all plan to fight, you damn sure better spend more.
Doesn’t matter, the US youth will never support another draft, it’ll be worse than Vietnam. Irregardless of the money!

USN needs newer ships, the latest and best technology and an abundance of junior sailors who are motivated. The junior sailors will be the difference makers. They will be the ones who will have to fight the ship. Military recruitment is at a 25 year low.
Any the caliber of those who are coming in is poor!
@@erinolson2612 along with their drug problems...
We need more ship yards in America! Let's build our military at 10 fold speed
There are new classes of Destroyers and Frigates being created.
These will have a more efficient crew and hopefully there will be a on/off crews like SSBN's in the near future to relieve some stress on sailors.
modern ships need much less crew and recruitment numbers down isn't a bad thing. technology is the future of war
Stop fighting. We are all humans
that's why we're fighting
China also counts almost all boats from warships to fishing boats in it's naval numbers.
They also constantly striving to build better. Our old yards are sitting and rotting!
Meanwhile, US gives away trillions to its enemies…so.
@@Tbone1492 We have built 50 vessels in the last ten years. All of these(except a horribly misguided class of Litorral craft) were proven designs that work. China Carbon copied Russian Designs that were defeated by RC boats with bombs and Air to ship missile used by Ukraine. Most of China's fleet remains a very brown water fleet.
@@Tbone1492we just need a big war and that will change. America needs a ww3
@@Tbone1492 I know and they have a bunch of yards building multiple ships at a time
It's good to know they're out there !
Get The Armed Services Committee to provide emergency funds to immediately start building in various shipyards. Newport News Virginia is critical at best. This would provide skilled tradesmen Labor. Both surface ships and submarines are a top priority for fleet production. Get the best leaderscin defense procurement and cut through the red tape. We need engineers to rapidly get congress to approve ship building operations on an emergency basis as China is massively moving quickly.
Sorry, the pentagon is busy wasting our money on DEI projects and losing money then finding it and reallocating it to a wasted effort somewhere else.
Seems ridiculous spending more on military equipment when there are more than enough nuclear weapons to solve the problem.

Of course, america is a seapower but america is losing most/all of its advantages on land. Chinas army will probably become the nost powerful in the world. China is expanding and modernizing its navy.
@@pathat8869 I don't necessarily think so. china military will surpass us eventually if our current incompetent president doesn't try to up our military game, but they won't surpass us because of land. We already have the most powerful tanks, ships, and aircraft, but we just need more. We have the best equipment in literally every category but the supplies of those is whats holding us down. I don't think we are losing any of the advantages of land technology wise but on supplies I agree.
@mathmanchris666 yeah china's navy is growing and will likely tip the balance of power by 2030 in any war over taiwan. China will have sufficient military capability to invade taiwan by 2030

We can’t blame China for their aggressiveness. Having your enemy closer to you is definitely a threat and the US needs to respect sovereign countries and solve their own domestic terrorism and gun problems in the country.

@@davidg3924 No, that's not why the USN patrols the world's oceans. It patrols the world's oceans to make sure that any trade that isn't done using US Dollars is deterred or intercepted. Why?
