US Navy ‘Woefully Ill Equipped’ To Fight China in Upcoming War, Commanding Admiral Says

Fact checked
U.S. is not prepared to fight war in upcoming war, U.S. army chief admits

The US navy is completely unprepared to fight China in an imminent war, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Michael Gilday admitted on Thursday.

“[The main challenge the navy faced] In a word, it is China,” Gilday declared during a presentation at the Heritage Foundation. “We see a force that has tripled in size. We see a heavy investment in systems with long range. They are a significant adversary.”

He described China’s behavior in the Western Pacific as “fairly aggressive.”

Sputniknews.com reports: Current plans called for the US navy to reach a target size of 355 manned and 150 unmanned vessels by 2040, but Gilday warned that the navy had to be prepared to fight a war in the Pacific within five years from now.

“We have to be ready for the 2027 scenario [with China],” he said.

China remained the main threat that the navy had to face, Gilday reiterated.

  1. More always the same always the opposite. As if. For a start the Royal navy including canafas a d Australia’s and new Zealand are all Mrs Windsors and might as well be included in Americas when “America is our barracks” as Churchill said

  2. USA a Thalassocracy. A thalassocracy or thalattocracy, sometimes also maritime empire, is a state with primarily maritime realms, an empire at sea, or a seaborne empire. Traditional thalassocracies seldom dominate interiors, even in their home territories. Take that away and what’s left of the Washington Consensus?

  3. no way man, we have woke generals, with lipstick, skirt wearing leaders that will show those Chinese a thing or two. we are beyond ready for a fight.

  4. The paradox is this: Why is “China’s behavior in the Western Pacific as “fairly aggressive.”when it is the USA which has surrounded China with Military bases for the last 77 years? In my opinion, it is the USA that is very aggressive.

  5. US spends more on military than China, India, Russia, UK, Saudis, France, Germany combined BUT not able to fight a war. Hmmm. Maybe the Pentagon is just one big mafia money laundry.

  6. It’s more than just size that is the problem. The U.S. Navy is filled with many who are unskilled in warfare and those who are generally get “cancelled.” The Admirals take their orders from the “woke” Joint Chiefs of Staff who take their orders from a dementia-ridden President who takes his orders from no one knows who (some say Obama, some say from the likes of Soros, etc.). Starting to sound like Germany at the beginning of WWII where the orders came from1 person (Hitler). Probably the only thing to save the Navy and the military would be drugging them all the same as was done in Germany.
