Naked eye yes under a microscope very much no America has aircraft carriers that are more advanced than china's most modern decommissioned al America has to do is recommit it's old war ships to overtake china
The PLAN has one big advantage as well: It only has to be in one area. The yanks have to have ships all over the place, while China generally only needs to keep their vessels in the west pacific and Chinese waters. Makes force superiority much easier to acheive. Edit: As expected, this was covered in the video.
Usa fleets are in Korea, Japan, Guam, Bahrein, soon in Australia, can dock in Singapore and soon in the Philippines. Usa has like 12+ carriers and in future 6 +/+ new ford class carriers. They can be at multiple places at the same time
Lets not forget about the already retired ships that werent scrapped. A lot of them are kept in working in order and can be redeployed very rapidly!!!!
@@coolsoenie no, US has no that capacity to deploy all navy ship around china, it have to mantian heavy presence in middle east and europe , also most US ships are 50 years old with all old technology of 1970s and 80s, , the US carriers only 2 are in full service, rest all are in ship yard for maintenance now, most of carriers are almost retired, also china builds 20 plus large warships every year , US has no such big ship building industry , china commissned over 100 ship in last 7 years, , you can not compete with china, US wont have any atangvage left over china in next 2 years
Aircraft carriers are just cannon fodder under China's hypersonic missiles, while the US's supersonic missiles are at Mach 5 and both China and Russia's are above Mach 10. The era of naval strength based on tonnage is long gone, but most Americans still fantasize about their own strength. 😂
The pace of PLAN expansion is breathtaking. I still remember 10 yrs ago experts said that even Japans self defense navy easily outclassed the PLAN. Look where they are now. At this rate of shipbuilding I can’t even imagine where they will be by 2030. US navy’s plan for the new DDG and constellation class will be heavily limited by the number of shipyards still functioning in USA as well as the number of skilled technicians they have. At the Philly Naval yard near where I live. They have fired over the last 10 yrs hundreds of skilled workers to cut cost. So I do believe the PLAN will continue to catch up in quantity as well as quality in the coming years.
@@taiwanstillisntacountry LOL that joke of an army with no air force, no navy, no heavy tank or artillery was able to drive the UN forces out of north korea and even temporarily take Seoul. And, with all of these disadvantages, the total UN casualties were around 100,000 while the Chinese casualties were estimated to be around 180,000 to 400,000. Even if you use the higher limit estimates, a 4 to 1 ratio is not bad given the lack of air force, navy, tanks and artillery. That gap is much smaller today and in many areas like missile, radar, the Chinese are ahead. 10 yrs ago, there were no type 55 or 52D. Now, there are 8 type 55 DDG and 26 type 52D DDG. With the coming type 95 and 96 submarines with pump jet drives. PLAN will again leapfrog the USA technologically.
@@taiwanstillisntacountry Haters gonna hate bro! An NFL analogy, winners worry about winning, losers worry about winners! I hardly see any articles or videos in Chinese predicting the end of USA or how outdated US military gears are, or how despite their experience in war, it has all been against ppl who can't fight back. Yet, not a day (seriously not a single day) goes by here in the states you don't see atleast 5 -10 negative chinese stories. That is 5-10 individual story headlines. Each headline parroted by every single US media outlet, from vox, WSJ, times, washington post, the hill, NY times, LA times, etc, etc. There is quite literally a nationwide full blown schizophrenia psychosis going on here. To use another football analogy, the Chinese are living rent free in the minds of every single American LOL
The fact is that the US ship building capability has regressed so much in the last three decades, that the USN ship quantity will not grow in the next 10-20 years in terms of ship number and tonnage. During this period the Chinese navy will certainly catch up to the USN.
Ah well that really really arguable. The USN can grow at any point. The problem is that the USN is undergoing a modernization. DUring that time it is perfectly normal for the USN not to grow. They come from a point where they already have the huge capability. Now they are upgrading that capability with new ships which are replacing the older ships. It means that while the USN is not technically growing on paper they are growing in terms of capabilities and capacity.
Yet US actually made more F-35s than China producing J-20s. And 5 times the number at that while being more technologically advanced. Also, “There are currently 154 private shipyards in the United States, spread across 29 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands, that are classified as active shipbuilders. In addition, there are more than 300 shipyards engaged in ship repairs or capable of building ships but not actively engaged in shipbuilding.”, according to US Department of Transportation. So US certainly does not lack the capacity. They just lack defense contracts to produce military ships. But US Navy will have more ships now that a shipyard or two will produce the new FFG(x) Constellation class frigates. th-cam.com/video/sg2IKIZgtxI/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUbY29uc3RlbGxhdGlvbiBjbGFzcyBmcmlnYXRl
@@pahatpahat9566I mean we got higher labor cost than china and I agree some of the ships we make shouldn't be that expensive it should be fraction the cost.
China has over 3,000+ shipbuilding yards, -- 529 shipyards are capable of building ship of 10,000+ tons above -- 56 capable of building 100,000+ tons above ships -- 30 capable of building 300,000+ tons above ships - And 6 Super shipyards capable of building half a million tons vessels(!!) *All can produce warships in a week if need be.* Every year China builds thousands of various kinds of new ships. China ship building industry produces over half of the entire world ship production by tonnage.
Taking into consideration only quantity and tonnage looks a bit semplicistic. Even taking into account the whole quantity of missiles availability is not enough. Especially when what is left out of consideration is a tecnological advancement like hypersonic weapons. An hypersonic missile is one that has no contermeasure capable to stop it at this moment. Who ever has hypersonic missles technology available has a great advantage on those who doesn't have it. One little ship with 8 of this missiles can easily sink 8 bigger ships even 8 carriers if they would be together.
I think we would need to count realistically how many of the ships in both countries’ arsenal are battle ready on a regular basis. Example: how any of the US aircraft carriers are actually battle ready? How many of their strategic submarine force are battle ready? It’s useless to count numbers and potential firepower when they aren’t going to be available.
Theoretically speaking for the USN peacetime: 1/3rd of all ships are at sea Alpha status-DefCon 4 1/3rd of all ships are inport Bravo status-DefCon 5 1/3rd of all ships are inport Charlie status-maintenance
Furthermore you would need to consider how many naval assets the US can reasonably deploy in the western Pacific. The Chinese fleet is smaller in many ways, but essentially all of it is near home waters backed by land based air and missle assets.
@@tren133 exactly. Chinese navy is going to stay within the protective umbrella of the land base missiles so whether their aircraft carriers or submarines are nuclear powere aren’t going to be a game changer. Plus US carriers aren’t going to be anywhere near that effective striking zones of land base missiles, effectively eliminating their aircraft’s to be of significant factor if it comes to a conflict. Nuclear powered may even be a disadvantage to the U.S. navy as you only need 1 strike to create a possible nuclear disaster Snr you have 5000+ or so personnel potentially in contamination situation. No sitting president will risk this. As he or she would go down in history to be the 1st president to loose a nuclear carrier regardless of outcome of the conflict. There are also people who says US can strike China’s mainland. They won’t cause this will mean US soil will then be part of the game too. Can any politician afford this? Nuclear power won’t hit each other’s home soil (at least not outwardly) but only fight a proxy war. So all these comparisons are less meaningful without considering other mitigating factors. More for posturing than anything else.
A popular meme in Chinese military enthusiast is that, comparing to the bumptious IJN in WWII, the PLAN these days eventually achieved the 70% size of fleet against the USN
The UVLS (and the Korean version, the KVLS) is considerably larger than the Mk41 and can multi-pack munition types that would consume an entire Mk41 cell, as well as allow the employment of large-format munitions such as the hypersonic weapons etc. The difference in *missile throw weight* is considerably closer than raw VLS numbers imply, though America still has a edge here. Btw, I hope Masterworks paid you well, because that ad was pretty good, you deserve it.
That's China front line, 2025 when US take the developed world naval powers to war, humongous fleets They will neutralize Spratly Islands 1st then push to doorstep of a lone China Extreme naval battles
The question is not just the possibly the largest navy in the world. Can they Chinese afford to maintain such a large force. Military expenditure on GDP it's large.
And while this pipe dream of yours going on, what should America's friends do while China is fighting the world's most powerful navy? Shouldn't they too join in against the Chinese?
That is of minimal relevance especially if ships are maintained and upgraded appropriately. A better metric would be wartime experience/missions? Naval leadership?
The United States has 92 destroyers. China needs 32 055 ships (8 completed) and 52 052D/DL ships(32 completed), 42 054A (all completed), and 32 054B (4 completed). The good news is that China's shipbuilding speed is at least five times faster than the United States.
Aircraft carrier are sea coffins now with Ultrasonic missile development ! The whole west Pacific and South China Sea is under intense monitor by satellite , Air balloon , drone , local fish vessel etc .
Notice the PLAN chose 2 x 056A corvettes to flank the 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 warships in the TW Strait. In that instance should the enemy open fire, the 056A would have been just as powerful as the 2 enemy ships as the 76mm rapid firing main guns and the 30mm auto cannon could take out the main guns and CIWS of the opponent from which point they are effectively disarmed.
China can literally DESTROY ANY NAVY within 2,000 miles of its coastline from its LAND based defenses. The PLAN is just another large defense vector that adverseries need to take into account.
Keyword *"WAS"* Technology has changed from the Age of Sail and ships armed with Black Powder Cannons, something that China has forgotten when they remember the USN has been the Leading Navy of Modern Warfare for the better part of 75 Years
That's bs. The Chinese navy didn't trade with Europe nor the Americas so it wasn't a "global" maritime power. There was no global maritime power during the Middle age.
As we all know , US still has the most powerful Navy in the world. China has lots jobs to catch US in the future. But as a Chinese, I don't want to see any battle between China and US. BTW, I'm happy to see China become more stronger than before.
I think the PLA Navy is currently targeting this power balance, the North sea fleet task forces somewhat matching than the South Korean Navy, the Eastern sea fleet decisively greater than the JMSDF fleet, South sea fleet roughly matching the US 7th fleet. to put itself in an advantageous position in a Taiwan strait or south china sea confrontation.
Does the U.S. have the logistical capability to deploy the number of fleets necessary to outgun the Chinese navy in the west Pacific? It's one thing to have the ships, but can they actually be deployed in time and concert in this one theater to make that size count?
The USN is probably the best supplied navy in the world. You can see it by sheer number of logistics vessels and especially how massive they are. Not to mention especially in the Pacific the US has bases all over the ocean and right next to China they have access to countries like Japan, SK, the Phillippines they have a base in Guam and so on. So yeah unless the US suffers from a catastrophic damage to its assets they are pefectly fine supplying their huge navy anywhere in the Pacific
@@napobg6842 Thanks for the information. I wonder, however, if China would not destroy these installations in the time in takes the fleets to arrive. They'll know the fleets are coming, so might as well take the bases out.
@@harleyyunam5053 Yes, but those bases can be targeted as the fleets take their time arriving. I guess it would depend on what defences the bases have. Do they have enough missiles to counter the huge mass of missiles China has built up along their coast?
The most important measure is where it will be fought . China is not fighting in US or in EU nor Africa. Their coverage is only Indian ocean with help of Pakistan, SCS and Taiwan Straits. This plus the main land fire power, even the entire US navy is to converge in SCS or Taiwan Straits it will be outgunned and unable to be resupplied. An even more important factor is not the tonnage like the Carriers. The most important criteria is China's abilities to sink those big tonnage carriers and ships with far more powerful hypersonic weaponry. China even has the YJ21 the sea version of the df21 carrier killers which means Chinese ships to sink the US carriers even away from Chinese mainland . The US old ships and weaponry is hardly a match .
PLAN has a more balanced fleet than USN....u.s has no frigates and their LCS corvettes are quite useless. Their AB destroyer design is getting old and it's replacement Zumwalt was scraped.... so they have a huge capability gap within the force and the only functional part is their submarines
A balanced fleet is only useful when trying to be economical. What does a frigate do better than a destroyer? Nothing. It just does it cheaper. Yes, the ab is getting old but it is still very capable and the spy 1d is still very capable. Other than that, the mk41 allows the arleigh Burke to deploy the sm6 and other weapons which are all very capable.
Apart from an already numerical superiority, the Chinese PLAN Navy is also considerably more modern, with a far larger number of vessels launched in the past decade alone. China certainly has the capability to comfortably "out-build" the US, and, for that matter, the intellectual resources to outsmart any Western Nation - China produces a million STEM graduates every year from Universities that are significantly better than the Western equivalents.
While it is true that Chine "out-builds" the US it is important to mention that we are talking about smaller ships which are generally easier to build. We also have to consider the fact that the US is also replacing a lot of older ships. China doesn't have that problem as they are building new capacity while the US is mostly replacing the old one. This also means that in case of war the US can tap into their recently decomissioned ships. As for China being able to "outsmart" the West because China has many STEM graduates who are "smarter" because they have access to "ssignificantly better" universtities well statistics would disagree. In fact tens of thousands of students in China are running for the West including and especially the US because of the inferior university education in China. The US has by far the best universities in the world and facts support that. If you look at any list from whatever source you will find that the US universities dominate not only in terms of raw number of universities but also in the top 10 in the world. In fact the most widely considered number 1 universtity in the world is MIT. So according to facts you are wrong about China having "significantly better" universities.
@@symondigo8984 You'll find out soon enough. Bye bye US Naval dominance (possibly bye bye US blue water capability), and bye bye US hegemony. Having to earn your money rather than stealing from others is going to by quite the culture shock for the "Entitled Nation".
The navy is a superb projection of power & influence when sailing and berthing around the world esp. Africa,Middle East,SEAsia and the various Pacific/Atlantic islands
As an objective Chinese person, I would say that there is still a significant gap between the Chinese Navy and the United States. However, that doesn't mean we will be bullied by the United States in our own backyard. On the contrary, we have confidence in delivering a strong blow to the U.S. Navy in our own waters. This is the Taiwan Strait, this is the South China Sea, not Hawaii, and certainly not the U.S. West Coast. That should be more than enough.
As an objective Chinese, I also feel that there is a big gap between the US Navy and the Chinese Navy. In terms of ship quality alone, the US has lost. Many ships are rusty and lack maintenance. Remember, rust is just what you see on the surface, in fact... It goes without saying. As a Chinese, inferiority is not your objective reason, the US Navy is no match for the Chinese navy now. How many aircraft carriers can still operate in the United States? How long do they retire?
@@dddddh1Exactly, the US’s newest destroyer ( im looking at you Zumwalt) Was absolutely horrible, meanwhile China’s Type-055A is the most capable destroyer in all of Asia.
US .. MUST have Air Carriers to project their War Ability. However CARRIERS are basically "Sitting Ducks" even with Escort and Protection Ships. Hypersonic missiles from SUBMARINES are Difficult to Identify and Destroy. With SubSurface Missiles ( Hypersonic ) any Carriers within 100km are " DEAD" on the Surface. No Missiles Protection are capable to Identify, Fire and Intercept within 30 seconds !!! If there are Coordinated Attacks ... NONE of the Carriers can SURVIVE. US knows this can Will NEVER go further than GUAM where they have LAND BASE MISSILES and Protection. Suffice that CHINA knows this.
Can the AGE of the Warships that US have be INDICATED. One Ex-Navy Captainc.. Claimed that MUCH of their SHIPS and Submarines Maintenance of Weapons', Equipment and Ammunitions are " In SERIOUS" decay/disuse . With some of the Equipment Spare Parts, Weapons maintenance and Ammunition are no longer available. The companies which MADE them has gone BUST . Any details available ?
If you want more hits on this video, please change the title to, "Is the US NAVY larger than China's NAVY?". You'll get more hits due to US Fanboys clicking on it.
Comparisons are just fine on paper. Numbers are just for show. The world naval engagement operational parameters have changed a lot after WW,2. There are now sophisticated large military drones armed with hypersonic drones . sophisticated jamming equipments mounted on so many different platforms, satellite support. All these are new and have been shown to be working in public. It is a dangerous and foolhardy path to go towards provocations and engagement.
Great analysis, as usual! And you are so right. China is not interested in power projection but regional security. In the near seas, China holds the home field advantage. While the US Navy has honking huge ships and lots of missiles, concentrating all that power in fewer vessels is not necessarily wise. Sink a carrier or destroyer and the US Navy suffers a greater loss. China will tactically and strategically use the greater number of ships in a different manner to the USA. Even a corvette can pose a significant threat with its anti-ship missiles. It's not the size of your dick that counts but how well you use it. Despite the size disparity, I wouldn't bet against China.
Technically you can turn a 600 ft cargo ship into a assault carrier, by making a 500 ft long landing and in the front of the Shio for helicopters or VTOL jets to land on , in the open spaces in front put surface to air defense missile platforms, put CiWS defenses on the bridge to defend from missiles and small craft and a platform in the back to launch anti ship/cruise missiles etc from it and have armed boats to support it
Looking at this video is very interesting today when you look at the total failure of the US navy in the Red Sea. Some assessments that can be made, US ships dont have enough air defence missiles for each ship and will empty its magazine in the first attempted defence in a real conflict. The US has also had to kept its carrier out of range of Hezbollah and Yemen ASBM missile range. This situation will be much worse against a better equipped force. The result is surface ships are going to struggle in the modern battlespace where anyone and everyone can employ munitions towards you at range and in large numbers for very little cost.
well if you take into consideration that US needs to split that force to guard their 800+ basses then the numbers will be different as China only really needs to guard their own waters. And The Chinese are defensively build so if you don't take defense into consideration then of course China seems weaker as they spend more on air defense and defensive missiles.
Well, i must admit, Scott Ritter makes me understand and accept views i do not share and do not like. Well even at middle age i got room to grow i guess.
Well that's like saying F-16 Block 70/72 is a 50-year-old jet. It is out of context! The ships in the USN underwent many modernization cycles throughout their service. So it is not really fair to say that they are "60 years old"
@@napobg6842 1, you can not upgrade much on anything on an antique, the desgin of the F16 is a 70s design has limited its capacity, it wont change much no matter what you put on it, it remain a 70s plane whatsoever, (also its aged equipment the structure are no stable any more), otherwise no country needs to develop new planes, you can just modernise all the old planes from ww2, it save lots of money, 2, i dont think US has any modern technology today to upgrade its gears, today, china leads most of technology in world ASPI's Critical Technology Tracker finds China ahead in 37 of 44 key technologies, IEEE Communications Society 2023/03/03 › aspis-criti...

It is important to consider the context or situation for this kind of comparison. 2 possible scenerio may present itself. 1) A Taiwan related war involving Taiwan, US, Japan and Australia. 2) A SCS war involving US, Japan, Australia and Phillipines. What are the planes, ships and missiles each can bring to bear in a attrition war over 12 months?
Neither of them is important. What this video really cares about is whether US can keep the world's largest navy. As a consequence of either 1) or 2), US will no longer have the largest navy for sure.
A war between US and China would also include Japan, Australia, possibly S. Korea, Vietnam and Philippines who also boast naval power in some capacity. India may also be involved. The meaningful battles will be fault around the straits of Malacca, south China sea and Indian Ocean since China relies heavily on middle east oil. In that regard, China has a major weakness of force projection to protect vital shipping. If it's unable to protect shipping then they will not be able to sustain wartime operations and domestic production. The leasing of bases in the Philippines provides even more land base air support to the region to protect Taiwan.
@@taiwanstillisntacountry Dong-Feng missles can not protect the indian ocean or event he straits of malacca. You also assume that the radar necessary to use such systems would be available in wartime? Thats a big if.... those would be undoubtedly the first targets in war.
Vietnam would at best be neutral. Vietnam may want some "payback" against the USA colonist. South Korea will stay out of it. If SK gets involed, NK will get involved and then the NUKE fly to SK and the USA. Yes, NK has nukes that can hit Texas and Florida.
Naval Sea Systems Command. US Navy’s fleet is getting old. It might get a lot older.U.S. Navy is considering extending the service life of all its ships by at least seven years, and could stretch the life of some ships by 13 years some active ships could be as much as 53 years old.extending the early Arleigh Burke destroyers to 45 years and the Flight IIAs to between 46 and 50 years. It also proposes cruisers could be extended to between 42 and 52 years; littoral combat ships to between 32 and 35 years, up from 25 years; and the amphibious assault ships to as long as 53 years.
@0:26 I am surprised u describe the US Navy and the Pentagon as "more credible sources" as u should know these US entities will say things to convince congress to increase their defence budget.
You forgot one important point, most of the US ships are outdated, with old sensors and networking . If you compare the number of ships with AESA radars, you get very interesting results
Nope. Even the upcoming FFG(x) Constellation class frigates have a comparable radar in terms of detection range to China's Type 052D destroyer Type 346A radar. While SPY-6 with 24 RMAs on Burke Flight IIA has a max range around 4600km comparable to THAAD's TPY-2 radar's 4700km max detection range. SPY-6 with 37 RMAs on Burke Flight III is even more powerful. DDG(x) on the other hand with 57 RMAs if not 37 would be insanely powerful. Then their is also SPY-7.
@@The136th Nope. 1st ship to use dual-band is Zumwalt with SPY-3/SPY-4. Followed by Ford. And first land based triple band radar is the new LTAMDS radar for both Patriot and NASAMS. Burke on the other hand has SPY-6/SPQ-9B.
Everyone should think in an different way: What will be the consequences of war between China and US, in terms of war ships / battle power *remaining*. Then, which country will have the world's largest navy? Russia? Japan? South Korea? France? UK? Or India?
US had the biggest navy when US at war with Muslims in the middle east and Afghanistan but wasted over 13 trillions dollars in the war without winning anyone of them.
@@m.a3914 It will be more. Because of interest on the debt of those wars. Check your balance sheet, white clown. Get off football and beer for a second
You ignored the the most decisive factor, the number of the standoff missiles. The 052Ds and 055s have more than 2,400 VLSs capable of launching YJ-21 hypersonic missiles with a range of 1,500 kilometers. Correspondingly, the U.S. Navy can launch 2400 AGM-158C stealth cruise missiles(range 1000 kilos) by 600 F/A-18s(radius 500 kilos) taking off from all 11 aircraft carriers.
What US do not have are hypersonic missiles, US have 11 carriers, China almost certainly has many more hypersonic missiles which can easily take out carriers !
could russia afford to build a new heavy aircraft carrying cruise ? my guess is it would cost about 3 billion dollars equivalent to build the ship itself. plus 1 billion to construct the facility to manu facture the ship. so 4 billion total. i would be surprised if russia can not afford this.
They do but I don't think Russia needs them right now unless they won't to show off. Russia should be more focus on the ground and land to counter NATO and mostly USA coming from the West. Unless they plan on supporting their allies like China, North Korea, and Iran with their naval drills. Then yes Russia should also try to build modern heavy aircraft carrier cruiser or aircraft carrier warships to add to their navy. It would be cool to see Russia have the storm or Project 23000E in real life.
The US Navy has a Big lead in the number of major combat ships and especially in better Tech & real world experience !!! The Chicoms will get "Wrecked & Routed" by The US Navy and Pacific Allies !!! Semper Fi
US Navy was at an advantage in world war 2 but how about today ?? Çhina and Russia can take out all those battle ships down to the bottom of the Sea. today Air Craft carriers are sitting ducks 😅😂
Reaching at least 70% of US military might is a big achievement for any country. Advanced submarine technology, next gen stealth fighters, Effective A2/AD is key for chinese to counter US. China still has a long way to be compared to with American might
Experience and training of personnel makes big difference in battle. Qing dynasty had a very large navy but got slaughtered by Japan is a lesson China needs to remember. The lack of war seasoned PLAN personnel is a weakness, luckily China does not need to fight too far away from homeland so can make up the difference by sheer number of newer ships and land base missiles plus air force.
USA and they are the richest nation and they still can't even solve this easy problem and issue. And do you know what the funny part is? They somehow have money for wars but not for it's own citizens and people.
Small vessels are not counted, only the ocean going vessels. The PLA Navy has 800 vessels including coastal defence vessels and auxiliary, the CCG coastguard has 1,200 vessels and the MSA maritime safety agency has 850 vessels they provide protection for the coastal areas.
Going to the middle east for show of force during the Gaza war...USA needs to U haul tons of weaponry, fighter jets and ammunitions, bombs, missiles and refueling for their planes and petro military vehicles. Food, water for the troops. So who has home court advantage and need to hauling tons or hardware?
On paper everything is nice to claim and what not but lets see what both sides pull out in the event of an actual war. A real life one and not an internet one.
No one would believe that China's naval power exceeds that of the United States, including the Chinese people. China currently does not have a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier or the most advanced nuclear submarines

I actually genuinely agree with you and finally some one who l found in the comment section that actually has a functioning brain for once
The pace of PLAN expansion is breathtaking. I still remember 10 yrs ago experts said that even Japans self defense navy easily outclassed the PLAN. Look where they are now. At this rate of shipbuilding I can’t even imagine where they will be by 2030. US navy’s plan for the new DDG and constellation class will be heavily limited by the number of shipyards still functioning in USA as well as the number of skilled technicians they have. At the Philly Naval yard near where I live. They have fired over the last 10 yrs hundreds of skilled workers to cut cost. So I do believe the PLAN will continue to catch up in quantity as well as quality in the coming years.
In Korean-War, they(UN-forces) said the PLA was a joke.
@@taiwanstillisntacountry LOL that joke of an army with no air force, no navy, no heavy tank or artillery was able to drive the UN forces out of north korea and even temporarily take Seoul. And, with all of these disadvantages, the total UN casualties were around 100,000 while the Chinese casualties were estimated to be around 180,000 to 400,000. Even if you use the higher limit estimates, a 4 to 1 ratio is not bad given the lack of air force, navy, tanks and artillery. That gap is much smaller today and in many areas like missile, radar, the Chinese are ahead. 10 yrs ago, there were no type 55 or 52D. Now, there are 8 type 55 DDG and 26 type 52D DDG. With the coming type 95 and 96 submarines with pump jet drives. PLAN will again leapfrog the USA technologically.

The fact is that the US ship building capability has regressed so much in the last three decades, that the USN ship quantity will not grow in the next 10-20 years in terms of ship number and tonnage. During this period the Chinese navy will certainly catch up to the USN.
Ah well that really really arguable. The USN can grow at any point. The problem is that the USN is undergoing a modernization. DUring that time it is perfectly normal for the USN not to grow. They come from a point where they already have the huge capability. Now they are upgrading that capability with new ships which are replacing the older ships. It means that while the USN is not technically growing on paper they are growing in terms of capabilities and capacity.
Yet US actually made more F-35s than China producing J-20s. And 5 times the number at that while being more technologically advanced. Also, “There are currently 154 private shipyards in the United States, spread across 29 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands, that are classified as active shipbuilders. In addition, there are more than 300 shipyards engaged in ship repairs or capable of building ships but not actively engaged in shipbuilding.”, according to US Department of Transportation. So US certainly does not lack the capacity. They just lack defense contracts to produce military ships. But US Navy will have more ships now that a shipyard or two will produce the new FFG(x) Constellation class frigates.
th-cam.com/video/sg2IKIZgtxI/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUbY29uc3RlbGxhdGlvbiBjbGFzcyBmcmlnYXRl
or worse, the number will be declining because they need to decommision the older ship
China need big navy to secure trading route, at least 600 ships
Also lots of Chinese warships can be built at many shipyards whereas u.s has only a few for their classified nature
Not only that, for the same cost, China would have built 3 instead of 1!
@@pahatpahat9566 … or for the cost of the latest US aircraft carrier, China could build many hundreds of DF27 antiship missiles with extreme range
They just need to bomb it lol as long as the US mainland is safe china can never win
@@pahatpahat9566I mean we got higher labor cost than china and I agree some of the ships we make shouldn't be that expensive it should be fraction the cost.
China has over 3,000+ shipbuilding yards,
-- 529 shipyards are capable of building ship of 10,000+ tons above
-- 56 capable of building 100,000+ tons above ships
-- 30 capable of building 300,000+ tons above ships
- And 6 Super shipyards capable of building half a million tons vessels(!!)
*All can produce warships in a week if need be.*
Every year China builds thousands of various kinds of new ships.
China ship building industry produces over half of the entire world ship production by tonnage.
Taking into consideration only quantity and tonnage looks a bit semplicistic. Even taking into account the whole quantity of missiles availability is not enough. Especially when what is left out of consideration is a tecnological advancement like hypersonic weapons. An hypersonic missile is one that has no contermeasure capable to stop it at this moment. Who ever has hypersonic missles technology available has a great advantage on those who doesn't have it. One little ship with 8 of this missiles can easily sink 8 bigger ships even 8 carriers if they would be together.
I’m glad to see you grow to a point attracting sponsorship now 😂
Modern warfare involved satellite, drone, subs and long range missile.. just dont try to mess around to which nation who has those weaponry..
I think we would need to count realistically how many of the ships in both countries’ arsenal are battle ready on a regular basis. Example: how any of the US aircraft carriers are actually battle ready? How many of their strategic submarine force are battle ready? It’s useless to count numbers and potential firepower when they aren’t going to be available.
Theoretically speaking for the USN peacetime:
1/3rd of all ships are at sea Alpha status-DefCon 4
1/3rd of all ships are inport Bravo status-DefCon 5
1/3rd of all ships are inport Charlie status-maintenance
You're useless. As if the USA isn't fully aware of that already. And if China isn't aware of that already , then they have no chance to win.
Furthermore you would need to consider how many naval assets the US can reasonably deploy in the western Pacific. The Chinese fleet is smaller in many ways, but essentially all of it is near home waters backed by land based air and missle assets.
@@tren133 exactly. Chinese navy is going to stay within the protective umbrella of the land base missiles so whether their aircraft carriers or submarines are nuclear powere aren’t going to be a game changer. Plus US carriers aren’t going to be anywhere near that effective striking zones of land base missiles, effectively eliminating their aircraft’s to be of significant factor if it comes to a conflict. Nuclear powered may even be a disadvantage to the U.S. navy as you only need 1 strike to create a possible nuclear disaster Snr you have 5000+ or so personnel potentially in contamination situation. No sitting president will risk this. As he or she would go down in history to be the 1st president to loose a nuclear carrier regardless of outcome of the conflict.
There are also people who says US can strike China’s mainland. They won’t cause this will mean US soil will then be part of the game too. Can any politician afford this? Nuclear power won’t hit each other’s home soil (at least not outwardly) but only fight a proxy war.
So all these comparisons are less meaningful without considering other mitigating factors. More for posturing than anything else.
1 side is trying to project power thousands of kilometres away from home whereas the other side IS at home.
A popular meme in Chinese military enthusiast is that, comparing to the bumptious IJN in WWII, the PLAN these days eventually achieved the 70% size of fleet against the USN
The UVLS (and the Korean version, the KVLS) is considerably larger than the Mk41 and can multi-pack munition types that would consume an entire Mk41 cell, as well as allow the employment of large-format munitions such as the hypersonic weapons etc. The difference in *missile throw weight* is considerably closer than raw VLS numbers imply, though America still has a edge here.
Btw, I hope Masterworks paid you well, because that ad was pretty good, you deserve it.
What about China artificial military islands? They obviously have a purpose for the location of each island?
That's China front line, 2025 when US take the developed world naval powers to war, humongous fleets
They will neutralize Spratly Islands 1st then push to doorstep of a lone China
Extreme naval battles
The question is not just the possibly the largest navy in the world. Can they Chinese afford to maintain such a large force. Military expenditure on GDP it's large.
美军在全球范围是毋庸置疑的第一战力，但同样的，这也意味着美军在全球范围面临挑战。除非美军能在所有战略点位都具备且能维持绝对压制，否则美军的全球地位的崩溃只是时间问题。在西太平洋地区，中国海军要做的不是和全部美海军战力单挑，只需要具备能够压制可能存在于这一区域的美海军战力的能力就足够了，类似于多米诺骨牌效应。
And while this pipe dream of yours going on, what should America's friends do while China is fighting the world's most powerful navy?
Shouldn't they too join in against the Chinese?
Important metrics overseen are:
- age / average age of the ships --> operational readiness
- years to retirement
That is of minimal relevance especially if ships are maintained and upgraded appropriately. A better metric would be wartime experience/missions? Naval leadership?
Don't be alarmed! China is still crawling in the art of naval battles with her hypersonic and laser fire power!
No evidence that hypersonic missiles perform as they were advertised and currently no Chinese vessel is equipped with high-power laser system
Nice vedio! Pretty good comparison
The United States has 92 destroyers. China needs 32 055 ships (8 completed) and 52 052D/DL ships(32 completed), 42 054A (all completed), and 32 054B (4 completed). The good news is that China's shipbuilding speed is at least five times faster than the United States.
Aircraft carrier are sea coffins now with Ultrasonic missile development ! The whole west Pacific and South China Sea is under intense monitor by satellite , Air balloon , drone , local fish vessel etc .
Notice the PLAN chose 2 x 056A corvettes to flank the 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 warships in the TW Strait. In that instance should the enemy open fire, the 056A would have been just as powerful as the 2 enemy ships as the 76mm rapid firing main guns and the 30mm auto cannon could take out the main guns and CIWS of the opponent from which point they are effectively disarmed.
100km from china coastal defense which already lock those foreign ship.
are you high? wtf are you talking about?
US is REALLy DUMB if they BRING their warships within 400km of their Coast.
I thought it was a type 052D DDG that cut off the American ship.
China can literally DESTROY ANY NAVY within 2,000 miles of its coastline from its LAND based defenses.
The PLAN is just another large defense vector that adverseries need to take into account.

I actually genuinely agree with you and finally some one who l found in the comment section that actually has a functioning brain for once
I disagree. The Phoenicians and the Greeks had a global footprint before china. Wake up.
That's bs. The Chinese navy didn't trade with Europe nor the Americas so it wasn't a "global" maritime power. There was no global maritime power during the Middle age.
So what ?
Really appreciate d vids u do!
American will said they choose quality more than quantity.. 😂
As we all know , US still has the most powerful Navy in the world. China has lots jobs to catch US in the future. But as a Chinese, I don't want to see any battle between China and US. BTW, I'm happy to see China become more stronger than before.
Sensible comment.
Better prepare to fight the US if you don't want to fight......?????!!!!!!!!
I think the PLA Navy is currently targeting this power balance, the North sea fleet task forces somewhat matching than the South Korean Navy, the Eastern sea fleet decisively greater than the JMSDF fleet, South sea fleet roughly matching the US 7th fleet. to put itself in an advantageous position in a Taiwan strait or south china sea confrontation.
Does the U.S. have the logistical capability to deploy the number of fleets necessary to outgun the Chinese navy in the west Pacific? It's one thing to have the ships, but can they actually be deployed in time and concert in this one theater to make that size count?
The USN is probably the best supplied navy in the world. You can see it by sheer number of logistics vessels and especially how massive they are. Not to mention especially in the Pacific the US has bases all over the ocean and right next to China they have access to countries like Japan, SK, the Phillippines they have a base in Guam and so on. So yeah unless the US suffers from a catastrophic damage to its assets they are pefectly fine supplying their huge navy anywhere in the Pacific
@@napobg6842 Thanks for the information. I wonder, however, if China would not destroy these installations in the time in takes the fleets to arrive. They'll know the fleets are coming, so might as well take the bases out.
They can because they have bases all over Asia.
@@harleyyunam5053 Yes, but those bases can be targeted as the fleets take their time arriving. I guess it would depend on what defences the bases have. Do they have enough missiles to counter the huge mass of missiles China has built up along their coast?
They hv d logis cap against sandal wearing camel herders.
great analysis as always.
The most important measure is where it will be fought . China is not fighting in US or in EU nor Africa.
Their coverage is only Indian ocean with help of Pakistan, SCS and Taiwan Straits.
This plus the main land fire power, even the entire US navy is to converge in SCS or Taiwan Straits it will be outgunned and unable to be resupplied.
An even more important factor is not the tonnage like the Carriers. The most important criteria is China's abilities to sink those big tonnage carriers and ships with far more powerful hypersonic weaponry.
China even has the YJ21 the sea version of the df21 carrier killers which means Chinese ships to sink the US carriers even away from Chinese mainland .
The US old ships and weaponry is hardly a match
.
Good Analysis...❤
PLAN has a more balanced fleet than USN....u.s has no frigates and their LCS corvettes are quite useless. Their AB destroyer design is getting old and it's replacement Zumwalt was scraped.... so they have a huge capability gap within the force and the only functional part is their submarines
A balanced fleet is only useful when trying to be economical. What does a frigate do better than a destroyer? Nothing. It just does it cheaper. Yes, the ab is getting old but it is still very capable and the spy 1d is still very capable. Other than that, the mk41 allows the arleigh Burke to deploy the sm6 and other weapons which are all very capable.
Apart from an already numerical superiority, the Chinese PLAN Navy is also considerably more modern, with a far larger number of vessels launched in the past decade alone. China certainly has the capability to comfortably "out-build" the US, and, for that matter, the intellectual resources to outsmart any Western Nation - China produces a million STEM graduates every year from Universities that are significantly better than the Western equivalents.
They come study in the US then go back and live in China. Chinese universities must not be good enough copies.
While it is true that Chine "out-builds" the US it is important to mention that we are talking about smaller ships which are generally easier to build. We also have to consider the fact that the US is also replacing a lot of older ships. China doesn't have that problem as they are building new capacity while the US is mostly replacing the old one. This also means that in case of war the US can tap into their recently decomissioned ships.
As for China being able to "outsmart" the West because China has many STEM graduates who are "smarter" because they have access to "ssignificantly better" universtities well statistics would disagree. In fact tens of thousands of students in China are running for the West including and especially the US because of the inferior university education in China. The US has by far the best universities in the world and facts support that. If you look at any list from whatever source you will find that the US universities dominate not only in terms of raw number of universities but also in the top 10 in the world. In fact the most widely considered number 1 universtity in the world is MIT. So according to facts you are wrong about China having "significantly better" universities.
Chinese navy ships are made from tofu, looks solid outside but soft from inside.

As an objective Chinese person, I would say that there is still a significant gap between the Chinese Navy and the United States. However, that doesn't mean we will be bullied by the United States in our own backyard. On the contrary, we have confidence in delivering a strong blow to the U.S. Navy in our own waters. This is the Taiwan Strait, this is the South China Sea, not Hawaii, and certainly not the U.S. West Coast. That should be more than enough.
As an objective Chinese, I also feel that there is a big gap between the US Navy and the Chinese Navy. In terms of ship quality alone, the US has lost. Many ships are rusty and lack maintenance. Remember, rust is just what you see on the surface, in fact... It goes without saying. As a Chinese, inferiority is not your objective reason, the US Navy is no match for the Chinese navy now. How many aircraft carriers can still operate in the United States? How long do they retire?

US .. MUST have Air Carriers to project their War Ability. However CARRIERS are basically "Sitting Ducks" even with Escort and Protection Ships.

Comparisons are just fine on paper. Numbers are just for show. The world naval engagement operational parameters have changed a lot after WW,2. There are now sophisticated large military drones armed with hypersonic drones . sophisticated jamming equipments mounted on so many different platforms, satellite support. All these are new and have been shown to be working in public. It is a dangerous and foolhardy path to go towards provocations and engagement.
And which country asked permission from their Congress to buy Chinese made drones?
It wasnt P00R H-India.
Great analysis, as usual!
And you are so right. China is not interested in power projection but regional security. In the near seas, China holds the home field advantage.
While the US Navy has honking huge ships and lots of missiles, concentrating all that power in fewer vessels is not necessarily wise. Sink a carrier or destroyer and the US Navy suffers a greater loss.
China will tactically and strategically use the greater number of ships in a different manner to the USA. Even a corvette can pose a significant threat with its anti-ship missiles.
It's not the size of your dick that counts but how well you use it. Despite the size disparity, I wouldn't bet against China.
True, a single missile boat could pose a threat and sink a fleet with it's dozens of defensive missiles lol
Technically you can turn a 600 ft cargo ship into a assault carrier, by making a 500 ft long landing and in the front of the Shio for helicopters or VTOL jets to land on , in the open spaces in front put surface to air defense missile platforms, put CiWS defenses on the bridge to defend from missiles and small craft and a platform in the back to launch anti ship/cruise missiles etc from it and have armed boats to support it
Looking at this video is very interesting today when you look at the total failure of the US navy in the Red Sea. Some assessments that can be made, US ships dont have enough air defence missiles for each ship and will empty its magazine in the first attempted defence in a real conflict. The US has also had to kept its carrier out of range of Hezbollah and Yemen ASBM missile range. This situation will be much worse against a better equipped force. The result is surface ships are going to struggle in the modern battlespace where anyone and everyone can employ munitions towards you at range and in large numbers for very little cost.
well if you take into consideration that US needs to split that force to guard their 800+ basses then the numbers will be different as China only really needs to guard their own waters. And The Chinese are defensively build so if you don't take defense into consideration then of course China seems weaker as they spend more on air defense and defensive missiles.

What are the planes, ships and missiles each can bring to bear in a attrition war over 12 months?
Neither of them is important. What this video really cares about is whether US can keep the world's largest navy. As a consequence of either 1) or 2), US will no longer have the largest navy for sure.
A war between US and China would also include Japan, Australia, possibly S. Korea, Vietnam and Philippines who also boast naval power in some capacity. India may also be involved. The meaningful battles will be fault around the straits of Malacca, south China sea and Indian Ocean since China relies heavily on middle east oil. In that regard, China has a major weakness of force projection to protect vital shipping. If it's unable to protect shipping then they will not be able to sustain wartime operations and domestic production. The leasing of bases in the Philippines provides even more land base air support to the region to protect Taiwan.

Reaching at least 70% of US military might is a big achievement for any country.
Advanced submarine technology, next gen stealth fighters, Effective A2/AD is key for chinese to counter US. China still has a long way to be compared to with American might
The Taliban disagrees...
I agree especially in the domain of stealth but overall they definitely are the second strongest in the wo of especitafter russian blunders
@@len-pp7jc LOL! Most underated comment!!
China was always able to defeat the US Navy since the 1960s WITHIN its coastline.
Now that coastline has extended to Hawaii and then some.
@@johnsmith1953x nah nah nah nah
Experience and training of personnel makes big difference in battle. Qing dynasty had a very large navy but got slaughtered by Japan is a lesson China needs to remember. The lack of war seasoned PLAN personnel is a weakness, luckily China does not need to fight too far away from homeland so can make up the difference by sheer number of newer ships and land base missiles plus air force.
Who has more homeless people between United States , China and Russia?
By volume China has the most. In reality it is probably Russia
@@m.a3914 per capita wise its US
@@maniramdewan9882 No not really. Both areb roughly the same. Both are just about the same.
USA and they are the richest nation and they still can't even solve this easy problem and issue. And do you know what the funny part is? They somehow have money for wars but not for it's own citizens and people.
美国的问题是全世界800多基地布防，摊子太大了
No. Dont count small coastal patrol boats.
Small vessels are not counted, only the ocean going vessels.
The PLA Navy has 800 vessels including coastal defence vessels and auxiliary, the CCG coastguard has 1,200 vessels and the MSA maritime safety agency has 850 vessels they provide protection for the coastal areas.
Quality not quantity 😉
Going to the middle east for show of force during the Gaza war...USA needs to U haul tons of weaponry, fighter jets and ammunitions, bombs, missiles and refueling for their planes and petro military vehicles.
Food, water for the troops.
So who has home court advantage and need to hauling tons or hardware?

how many mothballed ship does USN have?
Well done China Super.💪💪👏👏👍👍💯💯❤❤
The Chinese navy still has only 1/2 the tonnage of the US navy!
On paper everything is nice to claim and what not but lets see what both sides pull out in the event of an actual war. A real life one and not an internet one.
You can maybe hide some submarines but it’s impossible to hide surface combatants. It’s very clear what either side operates there.
Glory to the British-Raj.
it's good to see Chinese propaganda isn't dead
Yep they are the largest when counting those Chinese Fishing Ships yep
No?

No one would believe that China's naval power exceeds that of the United States, including the Chinese people. China currently does not have a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier or the most advanced nuclear submarines
China has had NUCLEAR POWERED subs since the 1970s.
Their first nuclear power sub that can launch nuclear bombs was in 1980.
wow,you are in dream
China may have large navy but very weak and luck experienced.
