versus

* WORLD MIL FORUM > AVIATION WEEK: AS PER ALL CAUSES, NEW USDOD REPORT INDICATES THAT THE STRATEGIC FORWARD PRESENCE OF US NAVY SUBMARINES' MAY FALL BY 40%, UW SUBMARINE WARFIGHTING CAPABILITIES REDUCED BY NEARLY 60% FROM CURRENT LEVELS BY JULY 2030.

* SAME > NEARLY-COMPLETE PHILIPPINE MILITARY CONSTRUCTION IN THE CHINA-CLAIMED NANSHA ISLANDS [Spratlys] IS A SERIOUS VIOLATION OF THE "DECLARATION ON THE CONDUCT OF PARTIES IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA".

* SAME > RECOVERY OF TAIWAN ISLAND, DEVELOPMENT + DEPLOYMENT OF MULTIPLE LARGE NUCLEAR AIRCRAFT CARRIERS, + CONSTRUCTION OF THE SINO-THAI "GRAND CANAL" [aka KA Canal Project] IS CRUCIAL FOR CHINA'S GLOBAL NAVAL/MARITIME STRATEGY.

#3 WAFF > CHINA BUILDING ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE [EMP] WEAPONS FOR USE AGZ US CARRIERS.

Ditto also repor as per TAIWAN agz MAINLAND CHINA.

IOW, "fix" = disable the US CVN in one place long enough for effec follow-on attack + destruction by DF-21 ASBMS, PLAN Subs andor PLAAF Bomber ALCMS.

MOST LIKELY AFTER PRREMPTIVE OR UNILATERAL EMP "SATURATION" ATTACK to offset agz the CVN's possible afloat movements.

versus

* SAME > KING OF THE OCEANS: RENDERING OF [future post-NIMITZ]CVN-78 GERALD R. FORD.

CVN21.

The Island = Castle reminds me of the TRANSFORMERS Movie, i.e. DECEPTICON OR AUTOBOT Helmet = Robot Head.

* FYI DEFENCE.PK/FORUM POSTER = believes that China's first batch of FOUR PLAN CV'S by 2020 will be
> PLAN CV#1 = EX-VARYAG modified Conventional CVT [which IMO is actually "dual-use" since CVT's can be used in contingency as full-fledged combat CV's].
> PLAN CV #2 = Conventional CATOBAR to be built in Shanghai.
> PLAN CV#3 = NUCLEAR-POWERED LARGE CATOBAR/STOBAR CV to be built in Dalian.
> PLAN CV#4 = NUCLEAR-POWERED LARGE EMALS CV [EMCAT].

* ION PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > US ARMY CANCELS
"MULE" FCS UNMANNED GROUND VEHICLE, due to being no longer needed or required.
