    Great analysis regarding the ships. As you say it doesn’t include naval air power or airborne missile capabilities which put a more accurate and “bigger picture” aspect when comparing to PLAN.
    Great job and well researched as usual.

      @user-yt7go3ki9h Thanks, that would be a separate briefing. The short answer, its designed to fight China, but cognizant of world-wide commitments. U.S. officials, including Navy personnel, make this quite clear. As to how they intend to fight, that would be classified, but from public statements, and looking at capabilities and numbers, there will likely be a focus on the use of SSNs, long-range strike, and extensive use of allies in the region.

    If you are looking for video ideas, I’d love to see one concerning the New Zealand Air Force. For an island nation that can be rather isolated, it always surprises me that they have an “Air Force” that doesn’t actually have any combat capability. (And no, I don’t count the P-8’s. Maritime patrol and ASW are far different than air to air combat)

    Just to put the u.s. navy into proper perspective of how powerful this behemoth is,it has 11 super nuclear aircraft carriers carrying a total of approximately 770 fighter jets plus support airframes.There are three more on various stages of completion,that’s,USS Kennedy,USS Enterprise and USS Doris Miller,mind you this is only part of it that demonstrates the huge $800b military budget although not all on navy but an excellent demonstration!

      Idiots who blow hundreds of billions on crap like carbon capture and electric school buses have their fiscal periods about coughing up a few lousy billion to rebuild the 22 Ticos (with combined 2600 missile capacity) and extend the lives of Nimitz, 4 Ohio's, and half a dozen perfectly good Los Angeles SSNs. Also 6 Perry's that can be reactivated.
      Moreover, with 150 shipyards, the US is perfectly capable of doubling the Constellation class and expanding construction of current programs. Lots of US yards are underutilized and there are also idled yards that can be reopened.
      Defense production act and a large cash injection can solve this easily. All it would take is a Congress, and President, that treats national defense with more urgency than green energy or corporate welfare.

    I agree with everything you say, but no doubt within 20 years. The P LA will have caught up with the US navy. In Fleet size and capability, you'd be naive to think otherwise. You just have to compare their ship to building capability to the current usa Ship building capability. China just this year has 1 subamrine 2 destroyers and 7 frigates and this is a slow year.

    • @Strategy_Analysis
      @Strategy_Analysis  Год назад +1

      Yes, China has significant ship building capabilities, as I mentioned in the PLAN of 2028 briefing. And the quality of its vessels is also improving. 20 years is a long range forecast, a lot can happen in that time. This is why I choose a time frame where we can have more certainty as to force levels (not a strict capability comparison though).

    @eymeeraosaka2954 Год назад +3

    Why do you assume the USN will be bigger and more powerful in 2028? Is it not possible it may continue to shrinks and diminish in power instead? Your analysis assumed the US defense budget will continue to grow and so will the US ship building industry? How high can the US defense budget grow when it is already about 4% of GDP, double the world average of 2%? Compare this with the Chinese defense spending which is less than 2% of GDP? Furthermore, with interest on US debt of already 1 trillion, more than defense, how sustainable is this model that you are advocating? Furthermore, a significant portion of US warships are old and have exceeded their expiry date? The Ticonderoga Class warships are in the process of being scrapped and so are some of the Arleigh Burke Class 1and II? So is the state of the art Zumwalt Class which there are only three(?) in service? The Arleigh BUrke Class V is only an upgraded version? No new design warships? For the kind of budget which is bigger than the next 9 countries combined, it has achieved very little? How to compete with the PLAN when it can build 5 times faster and at 30% of the cost? And just as good if not better to the US warships now? Ultimately everything boils down to costs and efficiency ceteris paribus....
