Is the Navy ready? How the U.S. is preparing amid a naval buildup in China | 60 Minutes
China has spent the last 20 years building the biggest navy in the world. As tensions with that country continue to rise, Norah O’Donnell boarded the USS Nimitz to report on the U.S. Navy’s readiness.

Navy fighter pilots tell 60 Minutes how the movie "Top Gun: Maverick" compares to the real thing kzhead.info/sun/erurh9BxnX2wn4U/bejne.html
All wars are Fake and this is all Lies.
US media hard at work colluding with Washington manufacturing consent for the next war of aggression against a demonized people whose simple sin is to have developed too fast without having to invade and bomb anybody!
That, my friends, is why WE, yes WE, the USA developed and "accidentally" released a virus, the Covid Virus. That is how we will win a major confrontation.
Can we please stop going to war thank you
Europe stands with the US against the chinese-russian threat! It's time NATO starts expanding. Countries like Japan, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand should join and have nuke missile launching sites. Together we would form the Pan Atlantic Treaty Organization. Military force is the only language they understand..
“I don’t really talk in depth about submarine capabilities...it’s the silent service” That gave me goosebumps 😎
2 really good puns. "in depth" "silent service"
South China sea is a shallow sea, with many wrecks from over 2000 years of seatrade... lots of discarded nets and fallen cargo containers... alot floating mid water... and that is just the garbage. It also has unexploded sea mines left over from WW2, loads of unexploded bombs dumped by the US from WW2, Vietnam war, and korea war. US subs will have an interesting experience in the South China Sea

"If I don't want to be hit, there's something I can do about it" the way he says it is so reassuring
Had the pleasure of serving with then Captain and now Admiral Paparo twice in my naval career. The man doesn't change for the cameras. This is him. Direct, confident (but never arrogant) and loyal to the United States.
I'll bet it was an honor to serve with him 👍. Thank you for your service as well. My son currently serves on the sub where this treaty w/Austraila and England was recently signed. I find those same traits in almost all Navy personnel I've met: direct, confident but never arrogant and loyal to the US.
His persona is comforting. Thanks for y’all’s service.
He's awesome and impressive.
Thank you for your service to our great nation
ok
You can always tell when they're interviewing a military person or a politician. The military person answers "Yes" or "No" and then explains why, while the politician spends 5 minutes talking without ever answering the question!
because politcians understand nuance while the meat heads in the military only gives u the preprogrammed narratives they have been instructed by the institutions to give to the public?always the same dumb answers, yes we are ready to go to war or whatever shyt they think they are supposed to say without considering the greater geopolitical consequences or fallout.... these dumbfks dont even realise the power of China.......CHina built 3 prototype aircraft carriers in barely a decade u think to field it?they did it for kicks just to show they could do it. the size of china's army is nothing but a temporary phenomenon, America is thinking in terms of less than even a decade which is nothing. let me give u an example......a mere 14 years ago back in 2008 crisis.....China's gdp was equivalent to Japan at 4.3 trillion and usa at 17 trillion,within a mere 14 years China's gdp is at 18 trillion nearly 75% of what America's gdp is. Within 10 years, the size of China's navy would not only dward USA's her technological capabilities would approach close to 80 possibility even 90 percent parity with USA. Enjoy and savour this last decade of "imagining" defeating China while u can.
Politicians = Con Artists
That is why we the people need to be responsible with who we allow in charge of our Spartans.
@@hounddog3476 Get the money out of politics... no more corporate campaign donors.... no more lobbyists... no more stock holding..... FBI check and an IRS audit before you can run for office, then annual IRS audits thereafter. Term limits for both the senate and house. The people who wish to run for office should be there to work for the people, not get insanely rich.
When i joined the army, that was the first thing we were taught. Be clear. Yes or no.
I am from the NAVY. THERE IS NO WAY THIS NAVAL FORCE COULD LOSE. MY SON IS IN THE AF. THERE IS NOW WAY ARIC WILL BACK DOWN!!!!❤
Why are the Americans always thinking about war? I just don’t get it. Fighting for oil in the Middle East, now you guys wants to detain China only because they are the new superpower?
Extremely informative.Thank you!
Proud to be a U.S. Navy Sailor 🇺🇸
Thank you for your service!!!
I like how admiral answers questions, briefly and spot on. Politicians need to learn from military
That would be great , we need politicians who love our country and not greed.
Horrible liar though. Can see right thru his BS.
? The whole thing was a lie plus China owns Biden that’s why he sold out strategic oil reserves to china I could keep going but do ur own research.
Different roles
In the promotion of men and women to oversee a nation's ultimate weapons systems, you need personalities and demeanor like this admiral: friendly, polite, and open but resolute and non-ideological or dogmatic. You don't want nut cases like the general Flynn guy hanging on to Trump's coacttail, encouraging Trump to declare "marshal law" (by which they meant "martial law") so Trump could resort to using the mighty US military to "enforce" some domestic political election dispute, etc. And the BS that the US is falling behind China is just that: complete BS. In another 25 to 35 years, once China has been operating 5 to 8 super carriers and 2 dozen nuclear subs for at least 20 years, yes, they would be on a par with the US Navy. But right now, the admiral is right: the Chinese "300+ naval ships" are 90% still just fishing boats and mid sized, mid ranged ships that can't do any more than patrolling a tiny strip of China's pacific coast line. The traditional Chinese description for that is "paper tiger." That's what the Chinese military right now is, despite the fact that they DO have very deadly missiles, as noted. And, yes, they have the capability to shoot American military in orbits, as does the USA. But even if both the US and China blow up most of each other's military satellites, the US has more ally satellites in space than China; and on earth, the US WILL still dominate the Chinese both on land and on the high seas, since the US's Air Force has over 10,000 aircraft, most being high-end ones... compared to the much small high-end Chinese Air Force aircraft, in the mere hundreds, however many they may have on paper, like North Korea likes to display their 1950s aircraft and tanks and fishing boats painted as real deadly ships. They don't have dozens of the nuclear subs the US has that could go quietly under water for months at a time, resurfacing only because they need to restock on foods and supplies...
“It’s not my hope it’s my duty”. No stronger words have been spoken. I admire his intensity and directness.
Everyone has a plan until they get a punch in the face

As expected of my admiral
“Sailors join the navy to see the world.” my brother did not join to see the world but because he felt he had a duty Sir. Seeing the world was probably the last thing on my brothers mind! He is currently active & deployed.
Love you America.as an Australian cant tnink of a more valued allied nation. U.k. too,you're both champs!
The idea that we are moving closer to WW3 and nobody seems concerned is just flat out insane.
Short memories. They already forget ww2, vietnam, irag and Afghanistan. Infuriating to watch the death propaganda machine at it again.
This is a fight we don’t need and honestly don’t WANT!!! I say this as an Iraq/Afghanistan combat veteran, we don’t want to do this, but joe Biden is going to put us in the middle of something that will not be able to be undone for many many decades to come
It’s mainly because it’s not on the news, if people don’t directly search for it, it’s not going to pop up.
People forgot about the Cuba missile crisis 🤦
@@shanewoods1980 Joe biden isnt the bad guy here. Vladimir Putin and Xi are the bad guys. Get it right ffs.
Respect to the admiral for holding his tongue when talking about submarines. Some cards shouldn’t be shown
He knows his job would be over if he did
The admiral didn't understand a new phase of conventional warfare.. hmmmm.. mess production of aquatic and submersible drones and being made in mass right now in China.. and it is artificial intelligent programed.. hmmmm.. Heavy military assets or I would call liability are made redundant.. hmmmm..
So truth
And if the admiral could cross the defensive line of a conventional weapons assets.. hmmmm.. There are nuclear weapons issues to deal with.. hmmmm.. I need a one world government... hmmmm.. right now...!!!
China also has nuke subs so stop being absurd.
I am amazed on quality meida that "60 minutes" making. Enourmous work and effort is pushed and baked to have fine story to watch. Thank you.
It gave me confidence in our country when the admiral said the navy was ready without hesitation.
Don't be fooled.
What are you Americans fighting for? Facing the YJ21 supersonic missile of the Type 055 cruiser around China, do you intercept it with your hands?
@@bingshao-cp5wkKeep it up Charlie and you will find out.
I guarantee you, we are.
The Dragon must be humbled to its knees.
Single word answers. Yes, No, plausible, optimistic, pessimistic. I appreciate the Admiral's directness and he communicates a sense of strategic clarity on the mission of his very important command.
It's how the military mind works. You are trained to be a good little soldier and to follow orders, don't have complex non-conforming thoughts
@@Karlach_ And not give any information. He is clearly intelligent, but did OP not notice he sometimes acted robotic and stared with dead eyes?
@@Karlach_ 6 years army vet here....uh no, this is not even remotely true. American military doctrine is different because our units are encouraged to make decisions if need be.
@@mirrormonstere113 That's what the military wants you to think. Us civilians see the truth though.
Yes, Adm. Paparo serves as commander of PACFLT. I had the honor of attending an all-hands with him a few months ago. Very professional, respectful and made sure to answer every question asked.
I really like this commander's disposition of confidence, humility and modesty. So thankful for his service and others like him!
He’s a good politician. Call it what it is. He talked a lot but he really said nothing of substance.
@@bigwheel9132 agreed, everything he said seemed ingenuine and rehearsed. nothing against the US, but they could've benefited from a more articulate representative.
He's a weekend cross dresser! You didn't know that? Well now you do.
That's why he is in the position he is in
@@bigwheel9132 wrong
Remember, everyone deployed. God bless you all. 🇺🇸 All the way.
this has been so informative. thankyou!
These kinds of TV programs always show on Feb to March every year when the Navy starts apply for new budget.
State sponsored propaganda to send even more money to the Military Industrial Complex. Why even bother? Both parties will approve all war and military expenditures overnight while debating for a 100 years before giving us anything to improve our lives in any way. Both parties suck!
I really hope the Navy has many more commanders like him. His demeanor and military knowledge is unique.
so you can conquer the whole world??? stay home plese.
He will be dead in the ocean like a sitting duck.
Unless they use the wrong pronouns.
@@tutunci Yeah to conquer the entire world 😎
Knowledge ? Doubtful China will sink every ship long before they get to Taiwan. He is back in the WW2 mentality Ships are no competition for hypersonic missiles
A good brief capture of naval build up history, expansion and comparison!
Thanks America and the mighty armed forces.
My uncle was born in 58. He served on the Nimitz. Straight out of high school. That's been a while considering that he's 65 this year
My uncle was born in 1924, and was sunk by the Japanese in the South China Sea. USS Barbel (SS316). Never got to meet him as I'm a '54 model.
And what? How many he killed?
@@igorosaula3877 What? ...shut up'
Who asked?
Ok this makes me feel ALOT better knowing there is at least ONE man in a U.S. position of leadership that seems like they have a head on their damn shoulders.
The head is on the spine in the center of the body, not on the shoulders. It doesn't fall off if you lose your shoulder, does it ?
"We are seeking to replace him with a brown lesbian ASAP".
Name one 😂
Yeah I hope the joint morons and puppet in the white house don't fire him. For the sake of my children I genuinely hope we see some competence return to the federal government. Its terrifying how unpopular military service is becoming. I know so many vets that have told me they would NOT enlist now nor encourage their sons to pursue military service. People need to realize we have never seen a nuclear world war.
Yes, but he can't do a damn thing without Joe Biden and Congress to give him a go ahead! The fact that we have a geriatric president that apparently has dementia doesn't give me much confidence on China that he would really do something to China because we all know he's compromised since he's been taking payments from China!
Are you ready? ( Because you said you're ready)... LMFAO!!!!¡¡!!!!¡!!!!!!
I love how the admiral wears a flight suit lol dude can’t help himself
the power of a navy is not the ships floating around on the surface, it's the ones under the waves.
The power of the Navy is the ENTIRE navy, beneath the waves, on the surface and in the air.
I used to ride under a lot of waves.

Excellent report! Thank you.
As someone who has just completed a 6 year contract with the US NAVY, this is VERY shocking to see on national television. Most people seeing this may not think much of it, but us sailors are very worried, and put on high alert. Most Americans won’t see what is said and done behind the scenes, but rest assured, we have the strongest Navy in the entire world. And I’m proud to say I’m part of it.
Why so shocking though? This information has long been known.
@@sharpe8888 so with that, China now knows our only weakness, our ability to pump out ships in a timely manner. Now, China will see this as an opportunity to Double-Down on their shipbuilding efforts. As mentioned later on the video, “There’s a potential period where China will be their strongest, at the same time that the US might be weakest”. It’s never really been a manner of the US Military to ever admit weakness, Hence why i found this video shocking that they not only allowed 60 minutes to broadcast, let alone televise.
You got that right
Thanks to our money - yeah, you're welcome
Thank you for your service.

Thanks for your service! I was in the Army myself. China loves to talk a big talk about how deadly their PLA military is. This is combined with China's world's largest propaganda campaigns using their "50 Cent Army" (Wu-Mao) that sets up thousands of fake user accounts on American social media sites to try to sway public opinion and spread more false propaganda (e.g. non-stop daily fake propaganda trying to cover up China's Xinjiang "re-education" concentration camps that imprison and torture 1 to 2 million ethnic Uyghurs). China also loves to publicize to the world their propaganda videos showing their military drills and how their army, navy, and air force look so menacing. But China's last actual combat experience was about 35 years ago during the 1980s Sino-Vietnamese wars. For better and for worse, the U.S. has been involved in actual combat frequently during the past 4 decades. So if war is compared to a soccer or football competition, China has been practicing football drills only with their own players for the past 4 decades, while the U.S. has been playing actual real football games against different teams in different stadiums every year for the past 4 decades; i.e. China has not even played a single pre-season football (war) game for the past 4 decades. So China's 細菌屁 really needs to remember that as much he wants to invade Taiwan as part of his dictatorship legacy, he should not underestimate the U.S. and he should view Russia's struggles in Ukraine as a ominous lesson about invading another peaceful country!
Navy fighter pilots tell movie 🍿🎥🎥"Top Gun Maverick.😂😂😂
It is my opinion that budgetary constraints should not be percieved as America's primary issue with Naval readiness. The problem is that the private corporations are unreasonably price gouging the American tax budget for the military. For example, the U.S. military was charged 10k for a single pressure switch that costs only a small fraction of that. These private manufacturing companies that have contracts with the U.S. military complex should be audited and fined for price gouging. Their greed is contributing to America's lack of combat readiness. China IS preparing for war.
GOOD comment... the MAIN issue here is that someone else (the humble taxpayer) is footing the bill... it's always easier to spend someone else's money... the gov has ALWAYS had zero incentive to SAVE because they didn't have to work for it... they have unlimited access to a giant pool of money that ALWAYS replenishes itself with ever more money... with that type of system, finding an incentive to save is an IMPOSSIBLE task
Damn they even had the submarine pop up during her interview. She can't hide how much of a blast she's having on that carrier lmao . Shoutout to the navy
Have to say? That woman is one good looking being! Very intelligent and a most classy lady!!
They have all admitted the Chinese capabilities ❤
Admiral seems like a real straight up guy. Was honest and straightforward.

Hello Karen how are you doing I hope you have a bless day❤
While the Nimitz admiral mentions our allies and partners, our Congressional representatives make no mention of them. The South Korean and Japanese navies are significant, and their contribution to Indo-Pacific stability should be recognized.
Well wait.... didn't kamala speak about those allies recently ? Our longest running NORTH KOREAN allies ?!?!??!?! 🤣🤣🤣 Here's the real truth... 60 minutes is a leftist propaganda tool, like most media. Our "fighting forces" are much more "keyboard warrior" than down right badass alphas. A product of "inclusion and tolerance" i.e. wokecrap. Our military overall is short on supplies.... courtesy of a proxy war in ucrane with no hope of success yet we keep funneling vital stockpiles to them. Our strategic oil reserves WERE there to fuel our military and nothing else. Soon biden will sell it all for a few quick votes. No diesel for trucks or tanks or ships....no jet fuel for our aircraft. Thank the left when your learning Chinese in a concentration camp...
Yes, but will they support USA in a war against China, a war that USA starts?
Right. But we have more allies than just those two.
The U.S Military is nowhere near ready to handle a military like China's. The China outnumbers the U.S 10 to 1, they have much more advanced equipment and much more advanced weapons.
@@kiwiblue2519 You can say that china has more carriers but weapon wise, we don't know the full extent of either nations weapons capability, what we do know is public knowledge which isn't often the whole truth.
From what im think we build more stealth i guess you can say but we invest more into stealth and including those ships so maybe thats why we are somewhat behind.... idk thats just my opinion

While true, China is and will more so become a problem that needs to be dealt with for all of the free world. Therefore, unfortunately armchair philosophy isn’t very helpful for practical matters such as this.

Journalism was killed when Obama replaced the Smith-mundt act of 1948 with the Smith-Mundt act of 2012, look at the 2016 election and how much everything changed that quick. Smith-mundt-1948 stated they can’t run propaganda aimed at any American even if overseas yet Obama felt the need to lie to us and replaced it. Even if it was only for “national security” we all know how much they twist that and who decides what effects nation security? Like if Donald trump gets elected that effects national security 🤦♂️ that gives them the tools to override the will of “we the people” which is exactly what they wanted.

Good to see that 60 minutes has a new war hore in the form of Nora Odonnell. Nice pr piece for the " defense" establisment.
US Marines and the Navy are going to be very critical in the next war. Make no mistake about it, we are going back in to the Pacific.
Peace and peace talks are what the people of the world want.
That was tried before W.W.II broke out and failed. The result was about 65 million people all over the world died in that horrible war. Peace through strength however, works. "Speak softly, but carry a big stick" - Pres.Theodore Roosevelt. Talking is fine, but if there's nothing to back it up, all the talk in the world means nothing. We have to recognize that there are evil people in this world and some of them govern, or dictate, countries.
No more banker wars.
Money talks. I hate this world.
We will not have that so long as CCP rules over China. Taiwan is what China should have been.
not the people who work in the MIC
Politicians pay attention to this MAN , you might learn something. Having him as a commander is why we have a very strong military. Thank you Sir so very much for what you do . 🙏
No not because of him 😂 we’re strong because we spend more money on the military than anyone else does and we also give money to other countries to buy them weapons lol
Shouldn’t pay attention be capitalized? Just read the way you wrote that in your head, weird
if he dies this country won’t skip a beat just like for the last 200 years

"It was a short flight to the ship and an even shorter landing." I do believe every flight has this distinction.
As a Chinese, I have respect to people from both nations. The interview was truly remarkable, and the admiral's dedication to serving his country is commendable. I appreciate the admiral's confidence, humility, and composure. He doesn't display any hostility, yet manages to convey his strength to his opponent. Such qualities make for an exemplary military personnel from any country. I hope that our two nations can eventaully reach a point to promote peace and friendship, for the betterment of both❤
i hope it too, because all the western nation will joint to that war. and in some point it could run nuclear :( and no body win in that point.
Well said.
Agreed. But it's hard to argue that China is not set on invading something soon.
It would help if the CCP stopped threatening to nuke other countries and delivering ridiculous lists of demands.
My utmost respect to both of our countries! There is “peace” under “threat” of war. Is something I’ve heard on several occasions throughout my time as a young soldier in the military. Didn’t quite understand it back then, but OMG I fear the outcome now! 🤨
Old JB will be too scare and he is yelling and falling from stairs. He is killed instantly😅😅😅

The downfall of Silicon Valley Bank has caused significant damage to the worldwide financial markets. As a result, investors are scrambling to revise their projections for interest rate increases and hastily selling off bank stocks across the board. As someone who has invested 200k in stocks, I find myself at a pivotal moment, wondering whether it's wise to cash out my depreciating portfolio. What strategies should I adopt to make the most of this bearish market?
The recent events with SVB make it unlikely for the market to make significant gains soon, so it's wise to manage expectations and prepare for a potentially long recovery period. It's recommended to avoid making significant investment decisions until the economic environment stabilizes in areas of concern. It's best to exercise caution and avoid engaging with the current turbulence
A steadfast commitment to reputable companies requires either holding steady during market downturns or increasing investments during such times. This strategy is based on the fundamental belief that well-managed enterprises will eventually rebound with renewed strength. On the other hand, investors seeking long-term profits through stock appreciation should seek guidance from a FA to identify opportune entry and exit points. My own experience during the pandemic highlights the value of working with an investment advisor, which resulted in a significant gain of $530k in just 8 months.
please can you leave the info of your investment advisor here? I’m in dire need for one.
My advisor is YUVAL ERIC BROKMAN., a renowned figure in his line of work. I recommend researching his credentials further. he has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.

It's not about a number of Ships, Airplanes, Tanks, and weapons but it is about how you use those equipments analytically and tacticaly!
Wrong look at WW2 in Germany when we had Sherman tanks and a lot of them that could be replaced and Germany only had a few Tiger tanks and didn't have the capability to build more . So we over welmed them with our tommy cookers .
Facts
No its about going after WAR CEos who caused the wars to begin with!
@@Randy-wq6gm And you are wrong as well. The reason we "out tanked " the Germans was that we used our ability to produce thousands of bombers to destroy the factories the Germans needed to build more tanks. My father commanded first a group and then a wing of those Eighth Air Force bombers. They destroyed not only the tank factories, but also the smaller factories that produced such things as ball bearings that were needed as part of the tanks..........and a whole lot of other things.
@President Eden The numbers of ships are not necessarily indicative of their ability to defeat a smaller force. Much depends on the tonnage of the vessels and their purposes. Right now the Chinese navy only has three aircraft carriers, one of which I believe is a pretty much useless old Russian ship. China has a bunch of smaller, relatively light, vessels, destroyers and smaller I believe. I'd have to do a bit of research, but I think one of our largest carriers can carry more planes than all the Chinese carriers combined. I think we have some thirteen or so carriers, although I'm sure some are in shipyards right now for maintenance.
Классный канал, от подачи не устаёшь
I’ve met and had the chance to talk to admirals and upper leaderships in my military career. I can confirm some of them are absolutely menacing on how direct and concise they portray themselves. The current seventh fleet commander gave my helicopter search and rescue detachment a speech / talk while deployed to south china sea. He straight up told us we have one of the most important and exposing jobs. Flying in circles so the jets can take off and land safely. We are the first ones up in the air and the last to land. Man was legitimately appreciative of what we did since we were often overlooked and overshadowed by the jets. Yes we just wait around just in case the worse scenario happens and we have to pull a downed aviator out of the water but I’m glad to this day I have never had to go through our procedures in a real case scenario. That means everyone is being safe and doing their job right!

As a former merchant mariner, I know that the US's commercial shipping industry has long been I a poor state. Shipyards are HUGE and complicated facilities to build and you can't build ANY ships without shipyards. This had been a known issue for decades. We need to find a way to make our civilian shipping more viable (profitable) and the naval ship building capability will follow as a byproduct.
Name me something in the United States that isn't in poor state. Our bridges need improving, our electrical grid needs improving, our Southern border needs improving, the list goes on. We spent 2.3 trillion dollars in Afghanistan, and now we are possibly looking at a war with China or maybe even Russia, but as for our country it just keeps on falling apart.

Good interview. As an American currently living in Taiwan, I would like to thank Admiral Paparo and those on board the USS Nimitz and throughout the US Navy for their service and bravery here in Asia Pacific and around the world.
You're living in territory that belongs to China good luck trying to challenge that fact
China and Russia help each other to achieve territorial expansion. The leaders of China and Russia both have the dream of ruling the world.
Another American living in Taiwan here. Taiwan is my second home, my kid is a dual citizen of Taiwan and the US. I will defend my beautiful, prosper and free country forever.

I am an Air force veteran. I was stationed at Pease AFB for the last 3 years of the Viet Nam war. That was the time pretty much the entire northeast coast of the U.S. was filled and protected with bases of both air and sea. Everywhere I traveled along the east coast was filled with bustling bases. Then something horrible happened. Through the 80s and 90s, most of these bases were shut down and cleared out due to "cut-backs" in the economy. I say, shame on Washington for putting the United States into a "sitting duck" situation. While the rest of the world, including the now current threatening China, were building up forces, we chose to try to save a little bit of cash. God forbid, that if ever there is a confrontation with China or anyone else, guess who's to blame.
What we see is US treatening the world, wake up. 😅
But why two carrier groups in one relatively small place?
I used to go to air shows at Pease Air Force Base when I was a kid. Awesome stuff
Thank GHW Bush and his Congress. Most of the closed bases and ports in CA became superfund sites, and the services are still paying for it and still conducting hazard mismanagement. Safety is everyone's business.
When cops arrest a person charged a person with a crime and the judge throws that case out those cops need to be charged with the writing a false police report because it obviously falls or else the judge wouldn't throw the case out . Those cops need to be held accountable
“I will never admit to being ready enough”. That’s chilling. Didn’t anyone catch that?
If are military exactly went to war Chinese they would bomb here too nobody would win china also out Numbers USA military this is joke.
That’s a good thing it basically means they will never be perfect!

This Admiral is fantastic. I don’t know anything about his track record and history, but the way he speaks, answers, and carries himself is very confidence inspiring.
"Where do we get such men?" - Admiral Tarrant in the movie, "The Bridges at Toko-Ri."
That's why he has 4 stars.
You can tell he thinks before he speaks.
The US Navy should design and build ships which are high tech, un manned and are disposable and built at a lower cost.
I bet the Nimitz has a gravitational defense system like the one Bob Lazar was talking about on JRE. He said, "if I don't want to be hit, there's something I can do about it ." That thing can't be touched!
I served for 20 years in the Navy, retiring in 2014. Almost a decade later I can attest that we were already seeing degradation of the fleet. Mostly physically but also a small erosion in training. We are still ahead in 2023, but we can not rest on our laurels. Training needs to be ongoing and more practical in nature when possible. Ship maintenance needs to be prioritized and new platforms need to launched in good working order.
Well, the more degradation the better for the whole world. No more US driven regime changes, civil wars, coloured revolutions or invading countrys that don´t fit US interests. Good thing.
We maintain our stuff farrrrrr more than you think, especially when compared to other nations maintenance
@@haventthoughtofanameyet6364 I don’t disagree with the fact that our maintenance standards are still above other militaries. I am merely stating the need to do even better in regards to training and cyclical upkeep. I still live and work In Norfolk, Virginia. I have friends still serving and go on base often. Sailors serving now have told me things should be better and what some of the deficiencies they see on a daily basis. Simply being ahead of everyone else is not the Navy way. We always want to be improving our processes and leading the way. Hubris will lead to failure. The gentlemen in this very video have said they know we need to better despite still holding an advantage.
Ok. While you're doing that, we'll negotiate a good deal for you.
I am a 20 year US Navy vet as well....there is not institution in the world more powerful than the United States Navy....
