One Tomahawk hit on the 3 Gorges Dam and a third of China is underwater

You sank my battleshots!

Who is making these claims anyway?

If we have modified our missile offense systems to be able to target multiple ships at one, why would we go bragging about it. It would provoke an increase in your potential opponent’s defense and countering capabilities.

I'd rather not find out.

Has the Tomahawk ever been used against ships? If it has, I have never heard of it.

If this is feasible, it would seem very worthwhile to test whether or not they could fill such a role.

Not true if the CINC and his band of DOD Pentagon lackeys are all on the payroll of the Chi-coms.

Quite true should provocation require response, and to clear the sea lanes off Vietnam and Phillipines of the Dane Geld seeking power pussies Chi-Coms.

Two tomahawks per manufactured/stole Phillipine islands converted by chi-coms into bases. Destroy them utterly with conventional warheads. Nuke response from them— turn Beijing into glass structures (neutron).

The truth is that both sides have enough arsenal, even when limited to non-nuclear arsenal, to wipe out the other's navy. As an Alabamian I like to brag on the missile defense tech made in Huntsville. But the truth is that missile defense can be beaten with "sheer numbers" of opponent rockets and missiles. Both sides have long-distance missiles than can be launched from multiple platforms to destroy an opponents navy without having to get close.

In a way, MAD protects the navy like MAD protects from nuke attack. Neither China nor the U.S. launch against the other's navy because neither wants retaliation.

I am no expert, but I believe a Harpoon missile fits the bill to take out a navy. Alternatively, stealth bombers could be used.

In a perfect world, under perfect conditions, it could be accomplished that the Chinese military could be neutralized. But I think Bruce Lee said it when he mentioned, “Boards do not hit back.” China will and between the open attack whoever started it and whoever retaliated, it starts a dog pile that leaves nothing left but insects...maybe.

As Joshua said, “The only winning move is not to play.” But man says there can be acceptable losses. How do you put a number on that when you count backwards to nothing?

I don’t know if this particular claim is true, but I do suspect the gist of it, which is that the Chinese Navy is no match for the US Navy, is accurate.

Historically, China is a land nation, they’ve never been a sea power of any kind, and the last time they boasted what they considered a world class navy, they went up against Japan they lost so badly that their entire fleet were sunk by the Japanese.

Since the CCP take over, they’ve never fought a naval battle of any kind, so none of their crew or their commanders in their entire navy have ever been in any kind of real combat, they don’t even have trainers or former crewman who have any combat experience.

I suspect if there is combat even Japan on its own would wipe the floors with them.

You are implying that Quisling Biden is in charge of the USA military.

His Chinese puppet masters would not allow any attacks against China. If anything, the puppet masters would order the US military to attack the Satanic Pentagram in Washington District of Caligula.

You need to be within 1000 km or so of the target

That means the subs need to be within a 3.14 million square kilometer area. I don’t think the Chinese have the capability to monitor that much ocean.

Pretty close to the truth.

China has developed a lot of technology and built a lot of modern hardware but there are a lot of holes in their system

They have focused primarily on offensive technology and they lag in defensive technology. They really lag in anti submarine warfare.

How about we stop Chinese commerce, thus cut funding the Chinese Navy as a starting point?

China will probably invade by airborne - lots of paratroopers into a fairly small & remote area.

The seaside defenses of Taiwan are too strong.

We would be sacrificing 5 subs, no? Once they fire, wouldn’t they be giving away their positions?

I expect Gen. Mark Milley would call them first to warn them.

The British got out of Dunkirk by small boats.
