The capabilities of Chinese warships has stimulated growing interest in the United States in acquisitions of a next generation destroyer class to replace the ageing Arleigh Burke Class, although the perceived failure of its two post-Cold War surface combatants the Littoral Class combat ship and Zumwalt Class destroyer has raised questions regarding industry’s ability to develop a new ship with a competitive cost and reliable performance.
American Military Industrial Complex decline machine doesn’t go brrrrrr
There is nothing they can do to compete with China at this point. They’ve turned ever avenue into just a way to funnel money to the oligarchy. The US cannot manufacture anything to the extent China can. Even if they somehow managed it, their “next gen” ship, aircraft, etc, will take so long to develop and make, it’ll be obsolete by the time it’s usable. We learned as much from the F35. lol
Womp womp
