Trust me, I know that the USA has advanced undersea detection technologies. So do the Russians, the Germans, the Norwegians, the French, and even the Chinese.

I'm aware that we have a numerical advantage, but I am not convinced that we have an overarching advantage in all arenas yet. The Russians, remember, probably have supercavitating torpedoes at this time while it is unlikely that we do. They also have pretty advanced titanium hull technology which vastly reduces the magnetic signature of their vessels.

Anyway, I would rather underestimate our navy's technology than that of an adversary!

I don't care if there were 20 levels. There does not exist a ship on this Planet that can transport 100,000 Soldiers. Even an Aircraft Carrier which the Nimitz Class are the largest ships in the World...only have crews of 5000.

To be able to carry 100,000 Soldiers and their equipment, food, water...etc. A Ship would have to be about a MILE LONG and a QUARTER MILE WIDE at a MINIMUM!

I have NO IDEA where you are getting the idea that a single ship could transport 100,000 Soldiers.

It's simple. The Chinese Communists do not have to follow the same rules that the US does regarding health and safety.

And as I'm sure you know, water can be made at sea, and rice bulks up quite a bit. Making sure the troops are a little hungry before a mission is a classic battlefield motivational technique, as long as you're OK with looting and pillaging the enemy.

Yes, 100,000 on a supertanker converted into a troop transport isn't a stretch at all.

An empty Super Tanker would not have enough Cubic area to hold 100,000 Soldiers even if they were laying on top of one another. It just cannot be done with current ships. Split Infinity
