Gents you are getting to heated up over a simple discussion which should be..Should China concentrate on better subs or build up a CV force?

I'm closing this thread for 24 hours to allow for a cooling off and in the hope that the discussion turns back to the title of this thread.

They Say: This Is The Reactor Of 094's.

there is a submarine thread, please post this kind of posting on there in the future. As for this link, it really doesn't say much except putting a bunch of pebble bed reactor related photos in there and claim that 094 uses it. We really don't know either way.

Not quite so simple, as situations such as the 2004 Tsunami relief operations demonstrate the flexibility of carriers for multiple tasks like humanitarian relief, not to mention their ability to act as a force denial capacity makes it a useful defensive weapon as well. A well rounded force is still better able to counter a stronger force than one too overly specialized.

Plus it's a deterrent against banana republics tempting to get their sticky finger on Chinese investments.

:eek:ff I thought gunboat diplomacy was consigned to the history books. eg US, telling GB and France to back off when Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal, however I think they are good for flag waving, its a impressive sight having a carrier sailing into harbour.

Yeah right. Why do you think there are so much atrocity against oversea Chinese while there is hardly any against western ex-pats? The threat of force is always there, regardless of whether that's being used or not.

And talking about Gunboat diplomacy, US is the leading modern practitioner -- two active war/occupation happening right now -- and do note US is not even pretending to get UN approval.

One thing history has taught is that methods and techniques never ever really disappear, they only change if ever so slightly.

CHINESE JUNKS ARE JUST FINE FOR CARRIER BATTLES, USE SEAGULLS AS BOMBERS.
Phillip, you are new here on SD.

Such talk like your last post, even if meant jokingly, can easily be taken as insulting to our Chinese members.

Please, READ THE SD RULES OF BEHAVIOR, and follow them.

THE USN WILL OUT DO ANY NAVY UNDER AND ABOVE THE WAVES. WE HAVE SECERT WEAPONS THE CHINESE DON'T KNOW ABOUT. JUST LIKE NORTH KOREA THEY ARE CONFUSED AND NEVER GET CLOSE TO OUR CARRIERS. HO CHI MIN SAID MANY YEARS AGO A BIRD IS WITH FEATHERS CAN FLY FAST AND LOW CLIP HIS WINGS AND HE WILL STAY GROUNDED WITH NO RECOURSE.
O'Conner, you took the trouble to sign up just to burn the account? What am I missing?

Phil, one more time.

SD Forum is not a fan-boy site for any nation, and it is not a nationalistic chest-thumping site for any nation either.

We avoid that here.

Make posts that are on topic, and that are not insulting, or over the top in the areas I just mentioned and you will do fine.

If you expect to contribute here, and to last, you will have to set all of that aside and respect all members.

READ SD FORUM RULES OF BEHAVIOR AND FOLLOW THEM

UPDATE : Phillip O'Conner was later permanently banned for a racial insult on another thread.
