Well, Terrence, you state China's first aircraft carrier is a "supercarrier". That is incorrect. China has modernized an old Soviet era aircraft carrier. It is not comparable to our supercarriers. It carries far fewer aircraft. It is oil fueled, not nuclear powered, and therefore is slower and limited in range without refueling. The Chinese state the carrier will operate in China's waters. It is essentially a training ship for a Chinese-built supercarrier to come. China's military power is growing, and they are designing their own true supercarrier twice the size of our big nuclear carriers. The Chinese Merchant Marine fleet is the largest in the world, and well-armed as an adjunct to China's navy.
