The head of the US Navy: We are not keeping up with the construction of warships in China

The United States continues to talk more and more about the threat from China. This time about the growing Chinese military navy, which poses a threat to the United States, said the head of the country's Navy, Carlos Del Toro.

We are not keeping up with the construction of warships in China. Now they have a larger fleet, they deploy it around the world

Del Toro said.

He also accused China of trying to violate the maritime sovereignty and economic well-being of US allies around the world. At the same time, high-ranking American officials, as always, forget about how many times they themselves violated the sovereignty of other countries.

To counter the Chinese threat, Del Toro said, America needs to increase its fleet in both quantity and quality. The head of the US Navy noted that in the coming years, China's naval forces could reach 400 ships, compared with the current 340. And this despite the fact that the US fleet has less than 300 ships.

According to a plan released last year, the US Navy aims to reach 350 ships by 2045, still far short of China's projected fleet increase.

At the same time, it is noted that for a certain period the US fleet will even decrease due to the decommissioning of old ships and support vessels.

One of the reasons for this lag Del Toro called the lack of production capacity in the country. There are more shipyards in China for building naval vessels, he said, and some of them have a capacity greater than that of the United States.

In addition, a big problem is the lack of skilled labor at these shipyards, the head of the US Navy believes. In this regard, China is not experiencing difficulties, since it is free from any kind of rules that tie the hands of the Americans, the official said. What kind of "rules that bind hands" in question is not reported.

Del Toro still found the advantage of the American fleet over the Chinese. In his opinion, this advantage is the American shipbuilders and sailors, who are intellectually superior to the Chinese, which makes the US Navy "more modern, more combat-ready and more deadly" than China's.

When will we hear from the USA: "We are not keeping up with the construction of warships in Russia"?

[paul3390]

When in the Russian Federation, as in China and the USSR, the ruling party will be communist. Under the bourgeoisie, I'm afraid we will never hear anything like that ..

When the Russian economy approaches the size of China's...

[And Nik]

The US population is 2.5 times larger than Russia. Here banal mathematics suggests that this is impossible in principle.

Yes, the Chinese have taken a huge pace of construction. The quality is tightened up, it remains only to envy.

1.China is the world leader in shipbuilding.
2.China is the "world factory".
3.Ocean routes - "veins and arteries of the Chinese economy"
It would be strange if the Chinese navy did not develop rapidly. This is a really big problem for the US.

Ich freue mich schon sehr darauf, wenn die Amis im südchinesischen Meer
von den Chinesen einmal so RICHTIG den Arsch versohlt kriegen...!!!
Hoffentlich bleibt dieser senile Schwachkopf noch lange Präsident,
damit ich dieses Schauspiel schon bald genießen kann...!!!

Wir werden warten. Es wird nicht lange dauern.

What did all the American intelligence agencies put together do? Did they sit on the Internet?

[Scott Liang]

The United States cannot keep up with the pace at which China is building warships. Chinese shipbuilding enterprises belong to the people, and people in some countries may seem ridiculous, but so far only the state rooted in the people has defeated America, and your enterprises belong to the capitalists.

[DefenderofTruth]

But Wall Street in the USA is not keeping up with the tonnage of superyachts of the Russian oligarchs!

Because you don’t know how to do shit, for 30 years you’ve only been lying, sawing, and slapping agitation in Hollywood.
And the star in your Navy started with Arly Berkov ... "2/3 Ticonderoga for 1/3 of the price." Only exactly the opposite - for 2/3 of the cost - a third of Ticonderoga, and even having lobbied for the series, the largest, they managed to achieve a price of one and a half Ticonderoga now, with half the functionality, God forbid ... Well, at least somehow began to perform both anti-submarine and air defense functions, before either this or that.
That is, the enchanting cut began even before the collapse of the Union, even the series that is passed off as the most successful in the Navy, to put it mildly, not without questions, and then it was completely cut - what kind of race do you want with the Chinese Navy? Your business is Hollywood Goebbelsatin

And how could it have turned out differently if they had not had an opponent at sea for 30 years? There, generations of sailors have changed in this relaxation. Therefore, many shipyards were closed, and the Navy itself degraded.
But this degradation is still relative. And China, only in the last couple of years, has begun to emerge as a POTENTIAL worthy fighter. For another 10 years, China needs to build and drill its fleet at the same pace in order to reach the level of potentials (cumulative) 8/10 ... and not in its favor. But in the South China and Japan Seas, the United States will find it difficult in a couple of years. Yes, even now they are not at all the same lafa as before.
But for this, the United States has such an ally in the region as Japan ... But the combined forces of the United States and Japan will already be a very serious problem for China. And then there's the AUCUS... That is, the United States and the Anglo-Saxons in general are starting to play their favorite game - a coalition against a single country.
And now, will China take out against the USA, AUCUS and Japan combined ... QUESTION.
And if India is also drawn into this coalition ...
It will be difficult for China alone.

China had a chance to get a strong ally at sea in the region, if from 2015 - 2016 it had not caved in under US pressure and entered into contracts with the Russian Federation for the construction of a series of Type frigates. 054A for Russian weapons systems. Then, only for the Pacific Fleet, the question of ordering 8 frigates (and they were built quickly) and 2 UDC Type was considered. 071 . But in general, Chinese shipbuilders were ready to build 20 frigates and 4 UDCs for the Russian Navy. If the contracts then took place, now this whole series would have already been built and put into operation. Frigates with an armament complex like that of our project 22350 (except for the GAK, the GAK could only be pushed in from project 20380 ... well, it would be better to leave a 100 mm gun - from 20380, and from 2 to 4 UKKS). At the Pacific Fleet, there could be from 8 to 12 such frigates. + a pair of UDC.
Frigates against destroyers and aircraft carriers is nonsense?
With "Zircons" or "Onyxes"? And "Caliber" in bases?
And if we were in the Black Sea Fleet, in addition to the old disabled "Moscow" and three export (weakened) frigates, more ... at least 4 - 6 frigates with strike and air defense capabilities of the "Gorshkov" ... would they have sunk the "Moscow"? Would it be possible for a landing operation in the Odessa region? With such assembled landing (13 BDK) forces? Would they have failed the blockade of the Black Sea coast?
It was gymnastics for the "rear mind", which many are strong in. But the "front" (on the front) did not get either the Kremlin or Beijing.

The crocodile tears of American admirals are not from the realization of their own weakness "today", but from the anticipation of delicious budgets ... and playing along with the military-industrial complex.
And with the help of Confucius and the CPC, China would have time to put into operation at least a couple of already normal aircraft carriers ... or at least one more, and a couple of dozen normal destroyers 055 ... But they won’t let them.
Otherwise, they'll be late.
China is now in the same situation as Lukashenka in 2020. Only the Old Man's policy of "calves that suck two queens" failed, and China "the doctrine of a wise monkey". Luka then went through the blade, and led Belarus. China is yet to come.
Never underestimate the Anglo-Saxons. If they realize that they are losing long, they will play short. And they are already knocking down the coalition.
And many in the region do not like and fear China.
Deservedly.

Something like this .

[TermNachTer]

But because in China they are shot for corruption, and in mattressland they are elected to Congress)))

[KCA]

But the show at the stadiums with corrupt officials kneeling with a bag on their heads will not end in any way, for drugs there is also a bullet in the back of the head, but in China this is a huge problem, and in the UWB corruption is official and protected by law
