true, but it will make invading us very expensive and it's a huge deterrence. the US for example, wouldn't risk their carrier group with our subs.

No,not China,they won't have any money left,i am sure i heard trump was going to sue them for trillions[bigrolf]

Before the Corona Virus the 200 billion dollars for purchase and maintenance was a complete waste of money .

During and after the Corona Virus it is an immoral waste of taxpayer money that the country now requires.

Tear up the contract immediately.

The Americans have Defence Readiness Conditions (Defcon) 1 to 5. No.1 being nuclear war imminent and No.5 being normal readiness. I believe the French have a similar system called run, hide, surrender, collaborate.[bigwhistle]
