055 has more VLS, larger VLS, better AESA radar than Arleigh Burke. It is armed with longer ranged antiship missiles and equal range anti air missiles. The US is the one that has to counter the 055.
Seawolf can't operate freely with anti-sub aircraft and frigates overhead nor can they actively ping for submerged diesel electrics like the 041 sub. Otherwise they risk detection and losing one of 2 is devastating.
Nimitz can't compete with ground based planes. Carrier based planes are always shorter ranged and less maneuverable than equal sized land planes due to the need for reinforced landing gear.
2 carrier battle groups is like... 2 carriers, 10-12 destroyers, 2-3 subs.
PLAN also has 2 carriers, but 32 destroyers with AESA radar, another 10 destroyers with traditional radar, 60+ subs, 300 aircraft owned by the Navy alone, 36 frigates and 50+ corvettes.
more or larger VLS pick 1. Better AESA? Doubtful. Still no real counter to the US CBG. Chinese ships are of lower quality & even lower training compared to the USN. No one on planet earth think the PLAN have a snowball chance in hell going up against the USN.
Look mate this where your nationalism are going to ended getting you killed. The CCP higher up even realizes they can't win if the US Navy start sending their carrier even with homefield advantages.
