Expert’s warning to US Navy on China: Bigger fleet almost always wins | CNN

A professor at the US Naval War College has a warning for American military planners as China continues to expand what is already the greatest navy in the world: In naval conflict, the bigger fleet almost always prevails. 

If history is any lesson, China’s numerical advantage is likely to result in a loss for the US Navy in any battle with China, writes Sam Tangredi in the January issue of the US Naval Institute’s Proceedings journal. China has been referred to by Pentagon officials as a “pacing threat,” but data on fleet sizes indicates that the US military is unable to keep up with China’s rapid naval development.
