Not in next 30 years.China will surely surpass US in naval sector soon.
soon? months,years, decades?? how many naval bases does China have around the world
surely we'll see 20 Chinese aircraft carriers, 60 destoryers and 200 submarines soon![]()

Quality, not quantity. While bulk of Chinese underwater fleet is Diesel Electric, US are all silent SSN/SSBNs. The 1980s LA Class SSN is well ahead of anything Chinese or Russian today.
So China might surpass in numbers, but quality is a big issue....and it will take it's natural time for technology to evolve.
We are not aiming to encounter US SSNs or SSBNs one on one unnecessarily right now
Just imagine the world contains over 70% of water
There is a vast area to cover in our sea territories
We cant sit there doing nothing because they have better quality subs
And finally everytime they are making an issue with armaments like that they are crying for more budgetary funding
Cheers!

True.
A well connected network around mainland with numbers to fill is the best available strategy.
Chinese submarines do not have to engage the USN directly to be useful.
1. 70+ submarines laying mines is dangerous.
2. 70+ submarines attacking merchant vessels is dangerous.
3. 70+ submarines attacking USN underway replenishment vessels is dangerous.
4. 70+ submarines launching CM-708UNA at both ships and land targets is dangerous.
5. 70+ submarines conducting reconnaissance is dangerous.
But then they will do the same?
Pure yellow peril fear-mongering. We know PLAN has relatively few modern SSN.
Can this be done within 10 years?We need to build 50 advanced SSNs in the near future.
Can this be done within 10 years?
Hi,
Numbers don't meet much to the U S sub fleet.
Even after the next 10 years---the best chinese sub may not be able to get close to the Re-Furbished Los Angeles class subs.
Chinese must not be lulled into falling into the trap that Saddam Hussein fell into
