US Naval Institute: The Chinese Navy will have 430 warships in 15 years, the largest in the world.

The Eastern Army reported on the latest developments in global military intelligence, demonstrated our military strength, and responded to major concerns from netizens.

The official website of the United States Naval Institute reports that it is difficult to accurately assess how quickly the Chinese navy will become a blue water navy. There is a way to compare the Chinese Navy with other major navies in the world. This comparison does not mean taking out all naval ships for detailed analysis, but taking out Chinese naval ships with global combat capabilities and comparing them with naval ships from other countries. The time range is 2020-2021. The comparison of Chinese and foreign naval vessels shows that, with the exception of the United States Navy, the Chinese Navy far surpasses all comparison objects in terms of modern warships and submarines. Of course, the US Navy still has a full advantage today. The major US naval vessels are all blue water and have global combat capabilities. The US Navy has an overwhelming advantage in the quantity and quality of aircraft carriers, advanced anti-aircraft destroyers, cruisers, large amphibious warships and nuclear strike submarines. However, all Chinese warships, whether blue sea or offshore, have their home ports in East Asia, which has a local advantage over the US Navy, which has traveled to other countries. In China's offshore areas and near the "First Island Chain", the Chinese Navy will have a greater firepower advantage than the US Navy's Seventh Fleet. China has not announced its naval construction goals, which remain confidential. However, according to the 2030 Chinese navy construction targets announced by some foreign experts, some guesses can be made about the strength of Chinese navy ships in 2035. Aircraft carriers are the focus of Chinese navy construction. If you want to know what the Chinese Navy will look like in 15 years, you can review what happened in the first 15 years. During this period, the Chinese Navy launched and served 131 ocean warships and 144 offshore warships. In addition, many modern shipyards in China have not been operating at full capacity for the past 15 years. Therefore, there is every reason to speculate that the Chinese Navy can launch or serve 140 ocean-going warships in the next 15 years to replace some of the warships launched between 2005 and 2010. Therefore, the Chinese Navy may have 270 warships in 2035. The Chinese Navy will also have more submarines, doubling the size of the submarine force. So far, humans have not been able to find submarines with reconnaissance satellites. Attacking nuclear submarines will form a large part of the PLA Navy's submarine forces. According to estimates of the production capacity of Chinese nuclear submarine factories, the Chinese People's Liberation Army will launch an average of 1. 5 attack nuclear submarines. The Chinese Navy's nuclear submarines are eye-catching. How big is the Chinese Navy aircraft carrier? By 2025, the Chinese Navy will have three aircraft carriers in operation. How many aircraft carriers does the Chinese Navy plan to have by 2035, and how many will there actually be? The article said that the Chinese Navy is gradually establishing an aircraft carrier force. This trend will not change. China's third aircraft carrier is under construction. It has a catapult, much larger than the two sisters in Liaoning, and can reach a full-load displacement of 85,000 tons. If the carrier design, carrier base and berthing period are set to 6 years, by 2035, the Chinese Navy will have 6 carriers. However, by then, Liaoning Boat may become a full-time training carrier. In terms of naval vessels, the Chinese Navy will maintain the existing 160 warships, of which 144 will be in service after 2005. The biggest change may be the replacement of 60 high-speed missile ships with frigates or patrol ships, which can maintain anti-ship capabilities while maintaining anti-submarine capabilities. According to this calculation, by 2035, the Chinese Navy will have 270 blue water warships and 160 small warships. No mention was made of minesweepers, small landing craft and various auxiliary vessels. The Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy will have 430 warships, becoming the world's largest navy, and will be "world-class" by any standard. Source: Global Times
