It is beginning to look like it. As to the Squall, if you read more of the article, you will see that these babies are already up for sale. China has taken delivery on Moskit-type Sunburn and Yakhont supersonic antiship missiles, along with the Dovremny(sp)-class destroyers to launch them, that can hardly be defended against. Couple that with supercavitating torpedoes below the surface, and I'm glad I'm not in the Navy anymore.

China has got 'em and maybe one or two bad boys in the M.E. may have a few as well.

China would love to sink a U.S. carrier if we move to defend their invasion of Taiwan. There are even more terrible plans going on in Beijing ..... at least I believe so.

E.g. Scenario -- terror attacks weaken U.S. and China decides to test us on the Wesy Coast.

Sounds like you are ready to pack it in. What should we do first, surrender or learn Chinese?
