China about to replace US as strongest naval power and Washington is too late to stop it

So by 2025 China would replace US as the strongest naval power?

It depends.

By 2025, China will likely have four aircraft carriers, and two of them will be more advanced than the USS Gerald Ford, and the USN will be lucky to have both CVN-78 and CVN-79 being ready for combat.

And the quantity China's Aegis destroyers and nuclear submarines will be close to the USN, and the quality will also favor China, since most Chinese ships are newer with more modern technologies.

It is very hard for most people to believe it, but that's the harsh reality.

Before 2014, can you previously believe that a football powerhouse like Brazil being beaten 7:1 by Germany in a semi-final match? Everything can be happening in this world.

If the US still exists as a country in 2025, they will try to do anything to maintain the numerical leverage over China on paper.

They will try to not decommission those 30+ years old navy ships.

But by 2025, the PLAN will definitely have more modern ships than the USN.

It's hard to digest, these naysayers cannot handle the reality that China is constructing more ships at a pace unseen before. It really is not that difficult to understand that the number of shipyards, the amount of workers, the speed in constructing is all that matters. China has all of these and surpassing that of US, so how can the US keep the gap widening? Basic math even a 6 years old child can do this.

And their cheerleaders will still choose to believe that those 30+ years old grandpa ships will be more advanced than the modern ships of the PLAN.

All Chinese frigates, destroyers and cruisers are brand new by 2025-2030 whereas the US destroyers are 40+ years old. Very modern, high-tech armed with very long range missiles. How can the US compete with that? grandpa ships fighting the alpha male? Are they serious?

LMAO :lol:

The US Navy can impose a naval blockade on China and the Chinese Navy is utterly powerless to stop it.
And what about saturation attacks of different supersonic and subsonic anti ship missiles from land/air and from the sea:azn:
US can not prevent china developing its naval asset off course but I really can not see China overtaking US in the foreseable future. Please just google the number of overseas military base US has.

US remains a global power china a rising regional power. In time this may change....but wont happen for atleast several generation.
China have never has a global ambition like USA have and never will be

china, a traditionally land power, lacks the experiences & marine culture in comparing with those historical sea faring nations.

But the scenario painted in the op is quite possible just like the supercomputer stories.

By 2025, the US is about going to lose almost all LA class SSN and Ohio class SSBN.

SSN-773 Cheyenne is the newest LA class SSN, and it was commissioned in 1996.

SSBN-743 Louisiana is the newest Ohio class SSBN, and it was commissioned in 1997.

And 2025 is just 5 years away, and in the last 5 years, the USN has only added 6 Virginia class SSNs.

By judging that deployment speed, they are going to have barely 25 actively functional SSNs which is probably same as the contemporary PLAN.


Wrong, under the latest US Naval 30 year shipbuilding plan the force in FY2025 will be constructed as follows:

10 carriers
95 destroyers/cruisers
35 frigates
44 SSNs
4 SSGNs
14 SSBNs
37 AWSs

China is an expansionist power. All expansionist powers are extremely dangerous. China is even more dangerous because it is run by a pure evil totalitarian Communist dictatorship that’s hell bent on world domination. Communist China will be a combination of the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany and will be a truly barbaric hegemon for the world. Look how they are interfering in the internal affairs of every country in the world using threats and intimidation. The only way the free world will continue to have our freedom is the complete and total destruction of the Chinese Communist Party.

Once again, you demonstrate your ignorance.

Between FY 2019-FY2025, the US Navy will purchase 79 new warships. And another 55 between FY26-FY30.

And those "30 year old ships" are constantly being upgraded to the latest software, radars, EW, and weapons available. Those hulls might be old, but its suite of capabilities are the best on the planet. You clearly have your head buried in sand.

These are overpromise made by Trump for his re-election bid. If you have any critical thinking skill, you will definitely not take it seriously.

The fact remains unchanged, many of your capital ships will be over 30 years old by 2025. How you can manage to replace all of it with new ships?

A video presentation of the US Aegis system. Currently installed on the most sophisticated US Navy warships and in the process of being set up throughout the entire range of NATO naval forces, this missile defense system was completely knocked out in the Black Sea by a Russian electronic warfare device.

As the Russian jet approached the US vessel, the electronic device disabled all radars, control circuits, systems, information transmission, etc. on board the US destroyer. In other words, the all-powerful Aegis system, now hooked up - or about to be - with the defense systems installed on NATO’s most modern ships was shut down, as turning off the TV set with the remote control.

The Russian Su-24 then simulated a missile attack against the USS Donald Cook, which was left literally deaf and blind. As if carrying out a training exercise, the Russian aircraft - unarmed - repeated the same maneuver 12 times before flying away.

After that, the 4th generation destroyer immediately set sail towards a port in Romania.
Since that incident, which the Atlanticist media have carefully covered up despite the widespread reactions sparked among defense industry experts, no US ship has ever approached Russian territorial waters again.

According to some specialized media, 27 sailors from the USS Donald Cook requested to be relieved from active service.

Chinese Navy will get destroyed by the Japanese Navy. Forget about taking on the US Navy or all of NATO. China has no allies to fight on its behalf and has to fight powerful rivals. China is isolated by US, Japan and India. Russia will never fight a war on China’s behalf. Deep down Russia knows Communist China poses a long term threat to Russian sovereignty. A war will also mean full economic and financial sanctions on China by the developed world (US, EU, Japan).
