  • Peoples Navy

    With the ongoing growth of the Chinese Navy US units will be soon all concentrated in the East/Pacific leaving the Med to the RN to patrol & police.

    The launch of China's second aircraft carrier comes as tensions rise on the Korean peninsula.

    There are a few sizable European/non-European navies in the Med beside the RN...France/Spain/Italy/Turkey, North Africa has the rapidly expanding Algeria, Morocco, Egyptian navies who might not be so willing in the future to outsource their Med security to NATO..

        Fake Navy News!!
        An army is power. Its entire purpose is to coerce others. This power can not be used carelessly or recklessly. This power can do great harm. We have seen more suffering than any man should ever see, and if there is going to be an end to it, it must be an end that justifies the cost. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain

          Bizarrely enough, the official title of China's navy is the Peoples Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). Am presuming the Chinese got their act together since they got the aircraft carrier from the Russians (EDIT: The Ukrainians). Were itially struggling badly with carrier aircraft ops

              Which of them might be most likely to do proxy work for the US?

                Truck drivers comment was referring to the navy's title of people's liberation ARMY navy!

                  If that's the case, there is little the RN can do...cut to the bone comes to mind. Sending a single Type-45 etc in a show the flag won't cut it there any more, and they don't have much else surface fleet wise to send in meaningful numbers.

                      I was thinking more in terms of the new RN carriers being rotated about the Levant etc.
