Boat Century Super Should the US Navy start adapting to the 21st century?
Missiles are improving unbelievably and are proliferating. As is stealth technology. Shouldn't we change to a more mobile, smaller, & accurate navy? Right now China has 81 of these type 022 Missile boats, don't let your arrogance get in the way. These are based on catamaran hull and are super fast/stealth. They carry 8 anti-ship missiles, They can also carry 8 SAM's or 8 land attack missiles. They are mass producing these on an unreal scale. Let's be honest with good tactics these things will wreak havoc against our navy (let's not forget about there diesel modernized submarines armed with sea skimming supersonic phased missiles or the small fast torpedo boats armed with super captivating torpedo, speed of over 300 km/h). With good tactics they can destroy our fleets. How can we improve and adapt to these threats? Please no nationalistic arrogance garbage. Let's keep this unbiased.
we are. they just started using ships that only require a 40 man crew to operate and can do everything that a larger destroyer can do. they are faster and more mobile than the larger ships.
