The real and terrifying power of the U. S. Navy is not on the ocean surface, but in the air and underwater. The navy's large-deck air force is already the face of the air force; and the air force's overseas bases, such as Guam, are unsinkable aircraft carriers. In this way, the U. S. Navy and air force have actually completed a seamless connection. Truly, the people who alone represent the inheritance of naval civilization from the pirate era are underwater.
Due to historical arrangements, China has bypassed the battleship era. Will it bypass the old aircraft carrier era and directly enter the era of new aircraft carriers plus submarine carriers?
But no matter what, the submarine generation cannot be bypassed.
