China Already Won

China’s got a fancy new aircraft carrier, the Fujian. Meanwhile the US is struggling to build any new ships.

China's newest aircraft carrier, the Fujian, is inferior in almost every respect to every one of the 11 U.S. Nimitz-class carriers, which first entered service in 1975. That puts China's carriers technologically a half-century behind the U.S. OK, the Fujian has a magnetic catapult while the Nimitz-class uses steam catapults. So what? In the meantime, the U.S. has launched its Ford-class carriers (which have magnetic catapults), which then are, by definition, 50 years ahead of China's pride and joy.
