China Now Boasts the Largest Navy in the World After Surpassing U.S
China boasts the largest Navy in the world after overtaking the U.S. and making Britain a shadow of its former self.
Chinese Shipyards have a capacity of over 21 million gross tonnes compared to the 100,000 in the US.
European navies have shrunk, with a 28% reduction in submarines and a 32% drop in frigates/destroyers between 1999-2018.
4. China, on the other hand, continues with its expansionist actions in the South China Sea.
5. The U.S. is conducting joint naval exercises with Asian countries, like the Philippines, to counter Chinese influence.
6. The world is witnessing a shift in maritime power, which could usher in a new era of naval preparedness.
As naval competition intensifies, nations aim to develop highly advanced warships, with special emphasis on submarines.
