After a huge fight and big losses China takes over what is left of Taiwan. You Army guys always forget about the Navy. We'll blockade their sorry ass.

If the navy blockades Taiwan after a China invasion, they leave themselves with a lot of ships getting shot at from both sides of a very small body of water. Nothing would be more demoralizing than losing 2 carriers and 11,000 sailors in a week.

Right. One carrier and 50 jets. If the Reds attack, there is not enough time to send a bunch of carriers there. Most carriers are in port or are in the middle eastern areas. I live in Bremerton, WA. The Stennis just put in here from California after the Reagan came down there. Stennis is undergoing repairs for several months, thus is not ready for sea. Like I said, short of nukes, IF THE RED CHINESE want to attack, they will. We don't have enough ships to form a blockade of that entire area.
