Here is the official (public) United States Navy opinion on the People's Liberation Army Navy (don't ask) (.pdf file, btw) (& via DefenseTech). Now the ChiComs are reported to be building a 93000 tonne Walmart-powered nuclear-powered super-carrier. They may not get it to work - this is tricky engineering, tricky systems integration and a bucket-load of cash - but at least they show willing. Remember when we used to have a navy?

Holy cow. They already have phased-array radars and VLS cells on AEGIS-equivalent DDGs. Ouch. So much for our technological edge.

And for about half price. But their warranties are terrible and try getting through to customer service.
