Not exactly history but I thought this video was just excellent in its attention to detail. Starts with a hypothetical incident that spirals to a full fight between the USS Reagan and China.
I have no idea as I know little about the navy but he at least gave a reason for why that was in the video. Not sure if his reason would ever happen.BQ_90 said:
I don't buy we'd transverse the South China Sea without more escorts

Well hell, I certainly am not going to buy anything from China now.

Hard to say you are wrong. Carrier groups are still going to have great value for us when showing up off the coast of most nations though. Just not China maybe.
I also wonder after watching that video twice how good the Chinese stuff actually is? My experiences in China were all very enlightening. So many things were just facades. Looked good until you dug a little deeper or stood a little closer.

Russia in WW2 was a perfect example of this. Throw enough bodies and bullets against a problem, and eventually the dam breaks.
This. The carrier was overcome at the end after the Chinese threw everything at it. In reality, more escorts and likely a second carrier group from the northeast would be involved in the engagement.BQ_90 said:
