  1. It's the fifth gen aircraft that are the big factor.

  2. An astute has been confirmed.

  3. Learn what the word literally means, the only thing is half of is the UKs carriers.

  4. Fully fifth gen and not all US carrier group are the big armadas it's not a ridiculous statement.
    5
  5. US carriers haven't had an active deployment with F35C yet, those F35B are a big plus.

  6. How?

  7. It isn't about Britain alone, it's adding to consensus surrounding China.

  8. All the countries we'll be visiting shows it not just about China, but that is parr of it.

  9. A US strike group might be more powerful but how would you prove it? It depends on the capability of 5th gen aircraft (this being the biggest deployment of them) which is untested.

  10. Subs aren't very good at the "show" part.

  11. 18 5th gen jets against good A2AD they are going to be able to operate where 4th gen can't. Also 32 aircraft total.

  12. We dont have the existing relationship with the Philippines we do with the likes of Singapore and Malaysia through the Five Powers agreement. I hope we will visit though.

  13.  @Justineexy  no would dispute the USN is a lot more powerful than the RN in total.

  14. We need more fighters, it isn't full.
    2
  15. They aren't making redundancies, just natural wastage.

  16. That is the point, this isn't a sneak attack, it a diplomatic mission.

  17. It's about resisting Chinese intimidation of SCS countries.
    2
  18. It's an acceptance of reality. When it comes to someone like China we simply can't compete in money or men.

  19. They don't carry 72 strike aircraft, they long since cut down from what they are capable of carrying and there hasn't been a Nimtiz actively deployed with any F35s yet.

  20. Asian leaders disagree.

  21.  @khooboobeng2184  True but there's no enslaving going on so why mention it.

  22.  @Justineexy  They aren't though, when USS Carl Vincent next goes out it will be the first operational deployment of the F35C.

  23.  @Justineexy  5 times this numbers? We a talking about an individual carrier group not the US Navy. The US in only planning on 2 F35 squadrons per carrier as the fly along side Super Hornets.

  24. What PLAN strike group? And what friendly countries would they be visiting?

  25. They act funnily to war then, various countries do this including us previously.

  26. They can't, the forces would want much more money. The vast majority of government spending is on helping people, only about 5% on the military.

  27. It larger than anything 10 years ago, may be back to the Falklands.

  28.  @wayneshilcock3027  it isn't just that, it a whole.diplomatic tour visiting 40 countries and various exercises. But that's the intimidation part.

  29.  @wayneshilcock3027  at some point, China wants Taiwan, but not soon. China takes a long view it's winning the peace at the moment.

  30.  @wayneshilcock3027  or Mainland China is a province of Taiwan. The point is the CCP want actual control of Taiwan.

  31.  @wayneshilcock3027  not sure what your saying, it isn't in practical sense at the moment.

  32. Likely hyperbole but it is the largest fifty gen deployment by a margin.

  33. Can't go through the Bosphorus.
