    According to a June analysis from the Center for Strategic & International Studies, the People’s Liberation Army Navy now boasts the largest maritime force on the planet, with 234 warships to the US Navy’s fleet of 219 them not to.

    I’ve always heard the following fun facts:

    1. The world’s largest air force by number of planes is the US Air Force. The world’s 2nd largest air force is the US Navy.

    2. The world’s 2nd largest navy by number of water vessels is the US Navy. The world’s largest navy is the US Army.

    Maybe #2 isn’t true anymore?

      They’re throwing an MG and short range missile launcher on every harbor tug they can find. In terms of capable warships we absolutely still outnumber and out mass them.

    If I was in charge if creating virtual airplanes using drones, they would fly any direction but forwards.
