there might be god there might not be nobody knows
🤷
Divine intervention maybe
No...
Human.
It only takes a few to subterfuge.
And in a reactionary war.
Okay how would a human accidentally wipe out 12 carrier groups to put us on par with the Chinese
Those details are often overlooked.
We don't have all of our eggs in one basket
I'm not saying you do.
I'm saying to think nothing could go wrong is a horrible mentality.
You're just using a what if scenario without substance because you know nothing of the naval balance of power and are speaking in platitudes about caution
I'm using a what if scenario because I know that humans are not perfect and easily manipulated by grandeur.
China can win a defensive war with land based batteries and aircraft
Offensive? No.
It's not grandeur
It's the ability to count
Not a good one
Uh...
A navy will take 30-50
It's static
So if say somebody inside the line turned on the other ships..
There are no surprises in naval warfare
Nothing would happen firstly
You would need the entire crew to turn
Which is unlikely
And then it's just one ship
Out of what, 800
It's one attack that was unexpected and would send ripples of mistrust.
Secondly aegis overlaps
So whatever one of our ships fires
Others within the same fleet can shoot it down
Think of a Carrier group as a Venn diagram with 12 circles overlapping
Those circles are the missile defense grids
They can shoot down anything coming into it with 11 back ups
So you think the military would be capable of surpressing insurgency on the homefront while waging war abroad as well?
Navy is entirely separate from land forces
And operates independently
I don't think it's unfeasible either.
