In a solid rebuff to President Trump's l'il Kimesque announcement of the "Trump Class" Battleship err, Battle Cruiser, err ... whatever, Xi presents the obvious question - who needs them when you've got over a thousand container ships (1) you can convert into floating missile launchers overnight?

Hmmm, sixty 800+ mile ranges CJ-10 nuclear cruise missiles somewhere ... kinda' hard sorting out the handful of shooters from a fleet of 1000 ....
And Xi could load 'em up tomorrow.
Beats 2 Battleships all to hell don't it?
Again, the Chinese didn't invent the idea, they just "borrowed" it from their mentor in everything to defeat the American war machine, the Russians.
'course the Russians had better looking salesmen.
Well played Xi.
Trump's strategy is great. His "Battleship" plan a joke.
Our Navy needs robotics, submarines, airships and spaceships, not the kind of ships rendered obsolete the morning of December 7, 1941.
Truth is, our military needs relatively little else.
