I'm not saying China can't sink a carrier or two.

What I am saying is that if they do we have a backup of about 40-50 more. And that's not even counting Nato.

Or the fact that hundreds of other ships and subs led by Navy folks that are far better trained and with better equipment than anything China or Russia could ever hope to compete with in the next 15-20 years at best.

My point isn't that China can't give us a bloody nose or two, it's just that they are so far behind the NATO force's militaries that we don't need to waste another few trillion on the latest greatest tech.
