I'm not really up to how far behind Chinese naval technology is behind british technology outside of the lack of some of the more essential modern ships. i know they have more... but they're obviously a lot less effective. It may not be a problem for the British vs china but i can see how it might be exploited by others. |
Yes, that is a potential problem. I imagine everyone remembers the terrorist attack on the USS Cole. Well, that was impressive. The Cole is an Arleigh-Burke Destroyer-4th largest class of ships in the Navy besides the carriers, amphibious assault ships, and destroyers. That such a small force could damage should a large ship supports your notion.
