#6  Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.

#5  "Build a Shitty Kitty before they attempt a Nimitz" > they have, of course, the option of engaging in Soviet-style, Ledger-busting massive or prohibitive expenditures which only led to pervasive debt write-offs and ultimately state implosion.

COMMIES-SOCIALISTS DON'T LIKE PROPER ACCOUNTING EBCAUSE IT PROVES IN WRITING THAT THEIR OWN HALLOWED -ISM DOESN'T WORK - MORE ACCURATELY, PROPER ACCOUNTING = THEIR -ISM DOESN'T RESULT IN STRONG NATIONAL MODERNIZATION(S) AS THEY LOVE TO PROMISE, ONLY IN MORE REALISTIC "POTEMKINIST/
SUBJECTIVIST" REGRESSIONISMS PERENNIALLY TEETERING ON THE EDGE OF DE FACTO COLLAPSE.

Iff China hopes to be a de facto "post-US", future World #1 Global-Space Superpower or Par OWG "Co-Superpower, it isn't going to achieve such vee the USA under Totalitarian or even Liberal Communism or other Marxism-based Socialism-Govtism.

The Chinese know it even they don't like or want to admit it, which is why the implosion + fall of the USSR = Soviet Union; + now EU-specific, EuroSocialist = Democratic Socialist chaos, is always in the back of their minds.

BEIJING "FEARS THE DAY".

#4  As I've said before, a CV on its own is just a target. A CV battle group - a carrier surrounded by a bunch of destroyers and cruisers is a threat.

Learning to coordinate the battle group takes time and experience. We have had both. The Chinese can take advantage and learn from what we have learned, but putting it into practice is still not easy.

#3  They need to build a Shitty Kitty before they attempt a Nimitz +. We'll see.

#2  The other relevant phrase is:

There are two types of ships-
1. Submarines
2. Targets

#1  Without the systems surrounding it, that ship will be even more of a deathtrap than ours.
