    Shooting a CSG is just begging to get nuked.

      Nuking china in response to a conventional attack is begging for you to get nuked in return. Like you're in a bar brawl and take a hit so you draw your knife. Never ends well.

        No shit, but annihilating a CSG means WWIII and nukes anyway.

        You don't let an adversary take out a $25B+ asset without a MASSIVE response, and I don't think the US has any conventional response that would have similar impact on China EXCEPT for a nuke, or a conventional strike against three gorges dam which would end up killing far more people than a single nuclear attack would.

              There's a bit of a range between a nuke and "no response at all" don't you think?
              And this thinking that you need to respond directly to an enemy action is bullshit too. When you're in a war, everything you do is meant to harm the enemy. You're not going to do it any more efficiently by introducing tit-for-tat revenge into your decision making. If a carrier is sunk, you eat the loss, redeploy your air power to land bases and proceed to kick chinese ass in the same way you did before.

              And those carriers were a lot cheaper than current carriers.

              The largest carrier Japan sunk in WWII "only" cost about $25-30M USD (around $500M in 2022)

              A bargain compared to the current $11-13B cost of the GRF-class boats, not to mention their planes also cost a lot more these days, pretty sure they plan to have 3-4 dozen F-35s and a good dozen+ other planes, probably adding another $5B+ in value. Not to mention all the crew training and shit which costs a frick ton to get a crew fully trained.

              Sinking a modern carrier would be an incredibly heavy blow to the US in power projection capability but also just in pure economic damage.

          If chinks can reliably attack surface vessels with long-range ballistic (HGV optional) missiles, then they can reliably deny CSG operations. There really is no way around it. Can they do it, and if not when can they do it, if ever, are the real questions.

          Attacking a CSG would not be a decision taken lightly, and before it could even be envisioned the chinks would need to have a reliable nuclear deterrent or 2nd strike capability. Attacking 3 gorges realistically needs nukes anyways because it's a frickmassive gravity dam

            GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator is a 30,000lbs bunker buster. I think a B-52 can hold 2 or 3 of them, and I think the B-2 can hold 2 as well.

              I'm not a dam expert but I think you need fairly massive breaches to have large scale destruction downstream. In any case, an attack on 3 gorges is realistically equivalent to a nuclear attack so policy wise its irrelevant whether it's conventional or not. From an american point of view what matters is can the chinks launch a nuclear counterstrike.

                Dams fail all the time from even minor structural failures due to the force of the water causing even more damage as it collapses. Any uncontrolled breach can lead to a catastrophic failure.

                Anonymous

                You don't need massive breaches to destroy a dam. You don't even need a "breach" in the common meaning of the term. The whole point of a dam is to store gravitational potential energy so it can be converted to kinetic energy. Any minor damage to the dam that allows even a minimal amount of that energy to be unleashed outside of the specifically designed pathways will cause a catastrophic failure of the dam in short order. This is why even minor overtopping to the tune of ~2"-4" can (and has) collapsed entire dams before.

                The difference between attacking the 3 Gorges with a conventional or a nuclear assault isn't so much about the initial attack, but whether you want to blanket a third of the country (and eventually the ocean) with irradiated floodwater. MacArthur got shitcanned for wanting to salt the Yalu with cobalt, and this would be only barely less ecologically destructive.

              My buddies and I did the math a while back. The best way to remove the damn is smuggling in a SF diver team with a nuclear demolition charge to the base of the damn on the wet side.

          You're forgetting that it would be a voluntary war on America's side, just like the invasion of Ukraine is voluntary for Russia.
          Just as there is no reason for Russia to resort to nukes to win Ukraine since it's not theirs in the first place; there's no reason for the US to resort to nukes to force an invasion of China.

          The US loses all its carriers. It retreats back to its borders. The world moves on.
          The US is still secure from invasion. China has proven itself secure from American invasion. They still have to worry about the 1 billion Indians on their border, though.

            If China engages in an act of aggression like striking US carriers, the US won't retreat back to its borders. There will be a total blockade - not embargo, blockade - of China. No grain shipments in. No export shipments out. Any ship heading to China is sunk and any ship trying to leave is sunk, until China collapses into starvation and civil war.

                The most likely scenario of China starting shit first against the US would be if China decides to try and pre-emptively attack a US CSG before invading Taiwan to annihilate any sort of fast response by US naval airpower in the pacific and instead forcing either south Korea or japan to respond, both nations who aren't really within range to provide much air power. Japan has their 2 helicopter carriers with F-35's now, but that isn't anywhere near the same level of power a CSG can exert.

                That's the most likely scenario of china doing a preemptive strike against a US carrier.

                No reason to preemptively strike when it's a sitting duck anywhere.

                Now the US is no longer in any position to prosecute a war of aggression against China.

                The only way there will be a conflict between China and the USA is if China engages in an act of aggression, such as a second attempt at helping North Korea annex South Korea, or an attempt to annex Taiwan. The USA has no reason to engage in any act of aggression against China, so any scenario where China attacks an American aircraft carrier is by default in one of the many plausible scenarios where China tries to throw its weight around and attack innocent neighbouring countries.

                Wrong. White supremacy is a driving force.
                The US, UK, and AUS all have the majority of their forces around China right now for the sole reason of containing the only non-white nation that can challenge the white hegemony. China threatens none of them, none of them live in that half of the world, yet their militaries are all off China's coast.

                If there was no reason to engage in any act of aggression, their fleets would all be home.

                It's pure blatant expansion into the SEA region.

                If china wants to patrol around playing high seas cop, they can. It's when they start expanding to choke off access to certain fisheries or trade routes where it becomes an issue.

                Yes, because the status quo is the exact opposite of destabilizing. When you are dredging to build islands and expand your EEZ, you are being a destabilizing influence. Meanwhile, the US hasn't engaged in territorial expansion in the region since 1898, when it got Wake Island (save for a few Japanese islands, which were managed after the war and given back in the late 60s and early 70s). More than that, it's been reducing its Pacific footprint, creating entire countries in the process - the Philippines in 1946 and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands in 1986.

                >>Iraq was in compliance
                "Resolution 1441 stated that Iraq was in material breach of the ceasefire terms presented under the terms of Resolution 687. Iraq's breaches related not only to weapons of mass destruction, but also the known construction of prohibited types of missiles, the purchase and import of prohibited armaments, and the continuing refusal of Iraq to compensate Kuwait for the widespread looting conducted by its troops during the 1990–1991 invasion and occupation."
                >>US decided to invade anyway
                It was confirmation that our stated causus belli was factually correct.
                in the resolution is there authorization for the US to take over Iraq
                True. But it did confirm that our stated casus belli was factually correct. It also did not specify what would happen in the event Iraq did not comply with the resolution's demands, nor that any actions taken would first have to be confirmed by the security council. It did not authorize the use of military force, but it did not specify that it could not be used.
                >So exactly when did China have a veto over the unilateral decision to attack and take over a country that was in compliance with the resolution they voted in favor of?
                Again, the resolution literally said Iraq was not complying with existing UN resolutions or the terms of the 1991 ceasefire. Resolution 1441 was unanimously passed by all 15 members of the security council, including China. If China had elected to use its veto, the resolution would have failed even if it were 14-to-1. Arguing that China had no idea that the resolution might lead to war requires the PRC's leadership to have the naivety and intelligence of a child.

                Did the resolution authorize the war? No.
                Could China have unilaterally stopped the US from using it to justify war? Yes. All they had to do is say the words, "China votes against the resolution." They didn't but now conveniently use it as a justification for unilaterally invading Taiwan--- without a UN resolution.

      In theory it shouldn't, in practice 5000 US sailors dying in the blink of an eye would make the public bay for blood.

      What I could see would be some immediate and aggressive conventional non-nuclear bombing of chinese military assets all about the South China Sea. Their artificial islands, their naval groups, some mainland chinese naval facilities. Just full on cutting edge best of the best missiles or stealth bombers or UAVs or whatever. Shock-and-Awe tier.

      A Carrier group won't get them killing millions of chinese civilians. It'll just, unless we are as rotten and shitty as Russia the paper tiger proved to be, make us go rabid-dog and smash the shit out of every Chinese military target available. Which is why China has to decide a very precise moment when they feel they can get away with anything.

      That said it would likely spiral into some kind of WW3. Maybe not a nuclear one but you'd see China going full tilt nutjob - imprisoning every American they can get their hands on in China (or lynching them), seizing every American-associated economic asset, hacking/cyber warfare out the ass to the mainland US.

    To be honest, anti-ship missiles make almost every kind of combat ship uneconomical.

    I'd more see as a winning strategy China being able to outproduce the US in -cheap- munition, with the US carrier group not having enough ammo to keep up the defense and being destroyed before they can resupply.
    However that would only keep the battle away from China.
    Once the US establish a protected supply line and China supply line get sniped by stealth missiles they can't intercept the attrition change side.

    I expect Submarine warfare to go essentially the same way but more in favor of the US. New software being good enough to make submarine stealth worthless so everything become a question of who can mass produce torpedoes and UUV-drones to swarm the opponent.

    This is no longer WWII when weapon production pace was on par with the rate at which they are destroyed.
    We could build 400 aircraft per month, now we are extremely happy if we can produce 1 modern aircraft per month.

    Ask yourself this
    Why does the DF-17 make CSGs obsolete, but other ballistic missiles don't?
    Do you understand that BGV hypersomic ballistics were done in the 1940s? Then nobody touched them for years because they offer only marginal advantages over conventional ballistics with far more cost.
    They no more have made CSGs obsolete than existing ballistic missiles that China and everyone else already had.

      Sadly, this is not keyholing, but recoiling rounds from the wall behind the target. You can see it for yourself:

      Start at 7s.
      At 8s, a barely visible hole appears on the rightmost part of the right eyebrow (your right)
      At 9s, the recoiling bullet exits and creats the keyhole

        Look at the keyholes. The edges go inwards from our perspective, as if the holes were made from a projectile striking the front. If it was caused by ricochet, the edges would be coming towards us.
        Further, it is hard to believe that the bullets were not deformed by striking concrete.

    The Chinese are selling a lot of promises on hypersonics. One is being able to communicate while in flight. This ability to lets them correct targeting and also receive non-inertial updates will be imperative to these functioning or missing.

    If it can't update it can't hit things properly. It also doesn't take into account directed energy weapons, AEGIS self-defense missiles, or other 'chaff' weapons that could defect the weapon.

    Also, missiles don't occupy buildings. Ignoring that you start WW3 by sinking a carrier, you also are still across a huge body of water from your goal occupation.

      It'll still take at least 30-50 years before they can actually build up their military AND have enough experience operating naval logistics on a wide-scale with some blue water experience under their belts.

          Wow, y'all are really about to experience your nation's first ever economic depression without any idea it's coming, aren't you? Here's some advice: the Party's managed to conceal and delay everything for so long without addressing the underlying problems means that when the slump hits, it's going to be a fricking doozy. The PRC has a strong hold over the political system, but strong means brittle, so it might shatter at any point. Given China's recurring problems with mass famine, I'd advise you to stock up on non-perishables. Political chaos (combined with the yuan's value plummeting) will really frick up imports for a long, long time and China's so large any international aid will be a drop in the bucket of what's needed. Even worse, they'll be effects on the entire world economy and everyone else will have problems of their own. The next few years might make the Great Leap Forward seem like a golden age.

                You are down 1000+2000+4000+5000 + the original 1000 purchase = 13,000 pieces of paper
                13,000 pieces of paper have been distributed among others, for a net loss of zero pieces of paper.
                You have your gun back for a net loss of zero guns.

                Nothing has changed except the distribution of paper.
                The correction hurt you, while the bubble profited 4 others to the exact combined extent the correction hurt you.

                The gun manufacturer having manufactured the gun, creating a valuable item (wealth) does not leave the nation in a poorer state than if he hadn't, simply because a bubble formed around it. The nation is up one gun in wealth and down zero paper.

    You know the funny part? The USN doesn't technically even *have* to fight in the South China Sea. A task force, with USAF support from Diego Garcia, could interdict almost all shipping to or from China in the Indian Ocean, outside of the range of the DF-17. That means no hydrocarbons, which China needs not just for power and transportation, but also for agriculture. They'd be looking at a severe famine within months, but as a practical matter, their economy would probably collapse within weeks as word got out and people began to panic.

        Pretty much. What they get from Russia is entirely from eastern Siberia, not western Siberia. There literally aren't any pipelines running from their primary oil and gas fields to China, and it would take years (*with* Western imports and engineers--far longer without) to build out meaningful capacity across Siberia to China. The TSR doesn't have the spare capacity to make up the difference, either. Plus, there's the small matter that Russia may be effectively losing a large chunk of their oil production next year anyway, because of the sanctions (and perhaps more importantly, the boycotts that pulled the Western engineers out). And finally, there's also the minor issue that China's economy is dependent upon both imports *and* exports, and without access to foreign markets and supply chains, China's economy collapses before it runs out of oil and food, causing chaos.

Would you gamble your country, your people, your cushy life at the top of the pyramid on having to roll boxcars multiple times in a row?

        It's not a foolproof deterrent--nothing is--but it's something the CCP has to keep in mind: the US, if sufficiently annoyed, can shut down over 99% of all sea trade to and from Chinese ports within a few hours to a few days of the order being given, depending on where assets are and which legal channels are used to compel other nations (and international maritime insurance providers) to comply.

      No, based on the effectiveness of modern AA against Soviet derived systems in Ukraine right now, I'd say it instead makes you wonder if China needs to rethink their war plans. Instead, those launchers are big, juicy targets for more agile systems and laughable unless you're bigger than the entire CSG pierside.

        Anti ship missiles are for defense, carrier groups are force projection. China cant afford to rely on turtling as a legit military strategy.

    Aren't these hypersonic glide weapons that can barely maneuver in the air and are easily targeted by kinetic destruction systems?

    The reason the US hasn't invested in hypersonics is that they mostly suck ass unless you put a nuke on them, and we already have ICBMs for that. We're trying to build an air-breathing, maneuverable hypersonic missile for the prompt global strike program, but said missile is not finished and is not likely to be finished for a few years.

    The US first fielded these hypersonic glide missiles in like the fricking 80s and realized that they had way too many downsides back then.

      >easily targeted
      Bullshit, call me shill if you must but the very point of "hypersonic glide" is that no/less anti-missile can launch and intercept them in time.
      ICBM are literally named so for being ballistic, they don't maneuver at all, and are more easily intercepted.

      The US only made hypersonic missiles, not missile capable of maneuvers. We don't need them for nuclear deterrence simply because we have too many nuke anyway, it will get through by sheer number.

      However for anti-ship purpose, being able to produce even a few of those missiles would be perfect. As long as you can produce more of those than the enemy have warship and get a superior kill, this is a win. You can't replace a warship in a week or a month.

      USA is behind China in hypersonic missiles because they decommissioned their hypersonic wind tunnel after the old war.

        No. The reason the US has mostly abandoned hypersonics is because they don't fit into American military doctrine.
        The entire point of hypersonic missiles is to hit a target fast enough that its defenses can't react to stop it, but the US already has something that fills that niche far better and for far less money (see picrel). Which is the better option, the missile that lights up like a fricking Christmas tree the moment it's launched, can't guide itself, can barely maneuver, and looks indistinguishable from a ballistic nuclear missile strike, or the small stealthy missile that you can't see on radar until it's right on top of you?

          Hypersonic missiles are hard to detect, such speed come with a plasma sheath which is why guiding them is extra hard.
          US love their stealth but the main reason it work is because they keep using it against countries with lesser technology than Soviet. Those "stealth missiles" also need to use the terrain or they'll still light-up even on Russian radar.

          Not saying the Russian aren't coping with missiles they can't actually produce in high number, or at all, after sanction.

            This is and has always been a massive cope. It relies on the assumption that Chinese radars have some magical quality that will allow it to see though stealth better than all of the American radars it was tested against and deemed sufficient to overcome.

            Plasma sheath stealth is a meme that only brainlets believe in. It's very dependent on the temperature of the missile body. The Zircon, for example, reaches ~4000 Kelvin at altitude and speed. At 4000 Kelvin, plasma shield can block 1 Ghz and lower but SPY-1 operates at S band: 2-4 Ghz, APG-81 and APG-79 operate at X band: 8-12 Ghz, SPY-6 operates at S/X band: 2-4 Ghz and 8-12 Ghz, SPY-3 operates at 8-12 Ghz, MPQ-53 operates at C band: 4-8 Ghz, AIM-120 and SM-6 seeker operates in I/J band: 8-20 Ghz. All of them are higher than 1 Ghz, so the plasma shield is useless. Zircon can fly Mach 9 at 30 km altitude, doesn't mean it can do the same at 1 km altitude. Depending on the materials in which the body is made of, if they're using passive, active, or ablative cooling, etc. Plasma is an easy, easy problem to solve. Also, space based IR sensors can, and do, track hypersonic missiles of all types.
            >US love their stealth but the main reason it work is because they keep using it against countries with lesser technology than Soviet.
            China's radar tech is literally Soviet and Russian knock-offs. They're so shit at building radars that they contracted Russia to build their Early Warning Radar System.

        >Also warhead like the Pershing 2 is very different from df21 or df17, comparing them is moronic.
        The DF-21D is a literal copy of the Pershing II, down to the terminal radar guidance.

      Oh, well no, that isn't the point. Defenses like the SM-3 rely on faster interception because they need to hit an incoming warhead while the warhead is still in space. This means the SM-3 must launch soon after the ballistic missile does, and the flight path of the ballistic missile must be predicted (which is easy, the hard part is detecting it accurately in a short period of time). There's nothing the warhead can do because the SM-3 warhead is just a rod with thrusters and light sensors. A heavy warhead would need ridiculous thrusters of its own to dodge an SM-3, it's just not logical.

      A glider doesn't spend much time in space, it comes back down to atmosphere so it can change course. You still need to widely lead the glider to intercept it, but now you can't predict its course because even minor changes will make you miss by miles. The glider isn't doing hard maneuvers, it's just changing its course slightly but significantly.

      Probably no country has any real operational or remotely close to operational glider.

    >untested weapon system is created
    >"GUYS GUYS the (insert country known for corruption, lies, and shoddy construction) built some kind of wonder weapon! it can (insert claim here)
    >pro-western folk point out there is no documented evidence to prove the before mentioned claims, as the only shown test if any exist do not live up to the claim
    >anti-western performs mental gymnastics as they slide away from the topic of the weapons actual capabilities, as they themselves do not know how capable the weapon is
    >they proceed to argue with having nothing been actually learned or discovered about the weapons true capabilities

    why do they do this? the people who argue for these weapons seem to not be concerned with how reliable the weapon truly is or whether they actually work. I'd say it's because they're not westerners but there are plenty of anti-west people with the exact same mentality. These people seem to value a sketchy weapon that hasn't seen any combat and therefor losses over a proven, but not invincible product.

        So, you can show me the test of the DF-17 hitting a moving ship?

    Every time there's a Navy thread it's the same shit over and over, and it's obvious there's maybe two posters on /k/ who have any idea. I actually suspect these threads are Chinese attempts to bait out classified info.

      How is one supposed to pronounce CIWS? I recall AC7 calling it "see-wizz," but I'm not confident that's really right.

    If China has any foresight at all they'll simply wait a decade or two before invading Taiwan. Right now Taiwan is the singular manufacture of specific chips, very important chips. If China attacks now the USA has the option to either go to full scale war with China, or become obsolete. Instead, if China waits a decade or two for the USA to build their own plants on their own soil Taiwan is strategically much less important and they will be far less willing to go to war over it

      At this point they're worried if Russia falls apart enough to not be an issue for western Europe anymore they might refocus more of their military efforts on china.

      Waiting a decade could just give the west time to unite further and make hard plans to deal with the Chinese threat in the 2030s.

    They might be enough to keep carriers from loitering off the chinese coast, so the CSG's will just play keep away and send submarines to cruise missile the frick out of them and maintain a clear corridor for long range aircraft, and drones to supress anti ship missiles wholesale. Hypersonics are capable, and dangerous. But they don't render anything obsolete. The USA has a long history of seeing supposed game changing weapons, and then developing doctrines and weapons that absolutely slap the shit out of whatever the claimed effectiveness of the new weapons were in the first place.

    The United States Navy is the sole reason piracy is down and countries all over the world no longer have big navies.

    It literally rewrote the game for everyone. But only Chinks would be moronic enough to ruin this for everyone.

      They think they can become a similar naval super power with a similar piracy suppression role.

        I honestly doubt because China's foreign policy has always been aggressive and demanding tribute/bow downs. It'll just piss everyone off. Also, China's naval history hasn't been that good.

      US navy didn't do shit about piracy. Somali pirate was stopped by international effort not by US. US navy is to bully other countries you brainwashed moron.

        Nah, he's pretty correct, Chinas modern naval history is pretty shit if we start at the 1800's where any relevant history is concerned. That said their current expansion and modernization has been prodigious, but they are yet unproven as a modern blue water navy. They have a LOT of catching up to do with their preferred foe in the USA. To discount the excess of actual flight time, and deployment time the US Marines and Navy have had over the last 80 years would be a fricking disaster. If the prevailing opinion is "lol america weak" you're going to be really fricking mad when thousands of sailors and hundreds of ships are sinking to the bottom of the south china sea. Hubris has always lead to disaster in terms of naval conflict.

    I'm so glad the Great Firewall exists. It keeps morons like the one in this thread away from the rest of the internet.

    Imagine the horde of morons unironically spamming propaganda if China posted on the same internet the rest of us do.

    A carrier group is considered U.S sovereign territory. You attack one with missiles, be prepared to get your shit pushed in, in return. Simple as that.
