Our Navy for the china War
8th December 2025
ComNavOps has discussed various aspects of what our naval force structure should be but it’s generally been in isolation rather than presented as a grand overview. This has sometimes made it difficult for people who haven’t been following the blog closely to understand how the individual components relate and where they fit in the overall force structure. I think it’s time to begin presenting the overall picture. One way to do this is to examine the naval force structure we’ll need to fight China and win. Of course, we lack an explicit military strategy which is what we really need to do a detailed analysis and presentation but we can still generate a pretty good picture just by looking at the typical types of naval operations that will be needed.
With that in mind, here are some of the naval operations that will be required in the China War and the specific force needed to meet those requirements.
