God I hate to say it, but its all about missiles. We've got to build ship killing missiles and a whole shit load of them. We do NOT have the industrial capacity to match the Chinese ship for ship!

Drink it in boys and girls.

The Chinese are building 5 Burke equivalent destroyers at the same time!

Force Design 2030 got it wrong.  

Turning the Ground Side into a missile firing force is FOOLISH!  We need to be adding our planes to the carrier deck, getting those monsters back up to 100 planes plus and designing ship killer that can go far, fly fast, are stealthy and strike HARD!

Quite honestly the F-35B needs to be sliced and we need to match the carrier air by buying F/A-18's. Keep MAYBE two F-35B squadrons and put the rest of fast air on carriers!

That would make a difference (along with a much better UAV than Predators!).

The Chinese are gonna have superiority much sooner than 2030!
