The level of bureaucratic incompetence plaguing the US Navy is almost astonishing, even without taking into account the way female crewmen have increasingly hindered the ability of the Navy to properly crew its ships. The Chinese have absolutely no reason to fear a US Navy that literally can't even steer its own ships.
The USA is almost certainly going to lose its next major war. What we are witnessing here is nothing new, it is absolutely normal for an empire that has indulged itself in imperial overstretch for generations to fail to fund its military infrastructure prior to engaging in the conflict that fatally exposes the rot within. And lest you appeal to the inherent strength of the American people, keep in mind, the United States of Diversity is comprised of a very, very different population than the United States of America of 78 years ago.
USS Fitzgerald: In the early morning hours of 17 June 2017, the ship was involved in a collision with the container ship MV ACX Crystal, seriously damaging the destroyer. Seven of her crew were killed. Several others were injured, including her commanding officer, Commander Bryce Benson.
USS John S. McCain (DDG-56): The destroyer was involved in a collision with the merchant ship Alnic MC on 21 August 2017 off the coast of Singapore, which resulted in the deaths of ten of her crew, and left another five injured. This event occurred a little over two months after a collision between USS Fitzgerald and MV ACX Crystal resulted in fatalities.
>The USA is almost certainly going to lose its next major war. I think it's going to be more akin to the First Battle of Bull Run/Manassas. It's going to be an absolute embarrassing loss, some general(s) will have to whip the entire US military into shape, we'll go through different leadership until the right one is found, and then victory. Not to mention the tremendous loss of life along the way.
That could well be the case maybe 50 years from now, but at the moment, the US still maintains technological and numerical overmatch against every foreseeable foe, including China.
Leo Collins
The USA is doomed in any naval conflict against China. I don't know why you stupid mutts can't get that through your fat shit infested brains. Maybe it is because you have been brainwashed for generations to think that USA is unbeatable, that is not the case and never was. You lash out when your fragile bubble is challenged and your ego is sent into question. This is just pathetic, from a truly objective stand point the US military is in complete disarray and falling apart in almost every level. Ask anyone who served and they will say the same. Get over it burgers.

Many past and present United States historical figures have served in the navy. Notable officers include John Paul Jones, John Barry (Continental Navy officer and first flag officer of the United States Navy),[101] Edward Preble, James Lawrence (whose last words "don't give up the ship" are memorialized in Bancroft Hall at the United States Naval Academy), Stephen Decatur Jr., David Farragut, David Dixon Porter, Oliver Hazard Perry, Commodore Matthew Perry (whose Black Ships forced the opening of Japan), George Dewey (the only person in the history of the United States to have attained the rank of Admiral of the Navy), and the officers who attained the rank of Fleet Admiral during World War II: William D. Leahy, Ernest J. King, Chester W. Nimitz, and William F. Halsey Jr..
The first American president who served in the navy was John F. Kennedy (who commanded the famous PT-109). Others included Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and George H. W. Bush. Both Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt were the Assistant Secretary of the Navy prior to their presidencies. Many members of Congress served in the navy, notably U.S. Senators Bob Kerrey, John McCain, and John Kerry. Other notable former members of the U.S. Navy include astronauts, entertainers, authors and professional athletes

China has beaten America, it's all over now and there's nothing the US can do to stop them. If the US tries to blockade China then all those new cruise missiles will demolish the American surface fleet.

Impressive.
With this most recent achievement, fate has in a single stroke, marked the decline of the west and spelled a new era of wondrous prosperity and peaceful global dominance for the Chinese dragon, which promises to firmly stand in sharp contrast to the historically bloody ascent of western powers and the cruel subjugation it brought to the humbler nations of the world. With the blessings of Chinese quantum direct-current electricity, quantum aircraft carriers and quantum enhanced railguns will be the instruments with which China affirms its noble stewardship of 21st century world politics and offers the non-western world a different option; an humanist alternative to the depredations of Western leadership and the opportunity for a more equitable and dignified multilateralism.
The 055s and 052Ds are probably pretty good ships on paper. They've had them for less than half a decade, so nobody knows how well they'll really hold up. Their carrier can launch fairly modern aircraft, so it's probably somewhat dangerous as well. The rest is mostly garbage, though.

Talking to a handful(statistically insignificant) of veterans that agreed with you is not an objective standpoint. You're just some wanker who hates the US, and have engaged in seeking information that confirms your bias.
Isaiah Sullivan
>fail to fund its military infrastructure There's something called Modern Monetary Theory, the US gov't prints its own money, don't worry about funding. "We don't have enough gibs!!!" is a ploy. The "diversity" is most certainly weakening us, united we stand, DIVIDED we fall. And that ship has sailed a long time ago. And issues can't be tackled because of the "diversity," and dumb petty shit is thrown out in front of us to squabble about. If there ever is a major war, I think the US will be split up into multiple different countries afterwards.

>don't worry about funding. especially because military spending is like ~3% of GDP in the US. When it's twice that people can START to worry. The USSR was something like 10-20%
Nathan Ward
usa has top gun pilots , chinoids have ntohing to compare
All China's military might is meaningless with a one-term reactionary leader in power who can't handle being told the truth. China can't vote Xi out, they're stuck with the guy for many decades.
Ayden Taylor
Chinese fighter pilots literally have to get eyelid surgery so they can see beyond the cockpit. Even then, they tunnel on what is directly in front of them and frequently get into accidents in the air

I mean, they're launching J-15s, which are capable enough fighters to pose a threat to an opposing ship. Not sure how effective Chinese aircraft-mounted AShMs are, though.

I don't think China can be a puppet of Russia when they have a vastly superior GDP, life expectancy, technological sector, and better-equipped military. They're also buying up most of the resources in Siberia because Russia is too poor to extract them on their own.
