China Can Sink Our Aircraft Carriers...This kind of gets frightening.

Chinese missile could shift Pacific power balance

By ERIC TALMADGE, Associated Press Writer Eric Talmadge, Associated Press Writer – Thu Aug 5, 5:43 pm ET

ABOARD THE USS GEORGE WASHINGTON – Nothing projects U.S. global air and sea power more vividly than supercarriers. Bristling with fighter jets that can reach deep into even landlocked trouble zones, America's virtually invincible carrier fleet has long enforced its dominance of the high seas.

China may soon put an end to that.

U.S. naval planners are scrambling to deal with what analysts say is a game-changing weapon being developed by China — an unprecedented carrier-killing missile called the Dong Feng 21D that could be launched from land with enough accuracy to penetrate the defenses of even the most advanced moving aircraft carrier at a distance of more than 1,500 kilometers (900 miles).

I seriously take offense to that. All of us are not cowards. Our Gov. might take a cowardly strategy to deal with countries, but that sure as hell does not make me a coward.....We as a country have many courageous citizens as well. Careful how you word things next time, thats my advice to you pal. As far as this thread goes, this is scary tech for China to have, I really doubt that it will ever come to pass for them to use it on us unless there is some extreme situation of a world war, but the fact that this weapon exists I think is a good idea for the fact that it puts our country on the edge, and TPTB here in the US wont be the top dogs any longer on the sea.

A lesson not learned in Korea, Viet Nam, the central and south America wars. No wonder we're doomed to repeat this mess.

"Frelling"? You a Farscape fan?

I agree with your assessment, but will slightly quibble...

Aircraft carriers are KING.

Only the Russians (there may be others...) refer to their vessels in the masculine...so, technically I'd call OUR flat-tops the QUEEN!

( And, in chess...SHE is most powerful too. Tell THAT to the patriarchal misogynists in the military!! Hee hee )

Frelling yeah! ( yes..from FarScape. )

"frakking" is the alternate choice, from BG (new version)...


However....missiles from China?

I think there are going to be counter-measures available that just aren't made public --- yet. Example: The LAUNCH detection of the missile! You can bet that many "eyes" are constantly monitoring for that.

And I imagine the ships have defensive capabilities that, again as mentioned, are classified.

Pretty sure a nuclear warhead would sink most boats too.

There are more bombs that people on this planet.

That is a scary thought.
