Last year, China launched more warships than the U.S. even started building. Their shipyards run day and night; ours argue over budgets and environmental reviews. Every admiral in Washington talks about “pacing threats,” but if pacing means moving slower every year, the race is already lost. America once built a Liberty ship in four days during WWII. Now, a single destroyer takes 5 years. The math speaks louder than any strategy speech. #Military #Navy #China
