Naval power Total Naval Strength: 673 Aircraft Carriers: 1 ( ya, one again ) Frigates: 47 Destroyers: 25 Corvettes: 23 Submarines: 67 Coastal Defense Craft: 11 Mine Warfare: 6 The Chinese military is one of the biggest jokes on the planet. They are poorly trained in actual combat, they focus on silly things, like martial arts. They also are running extremely outdated machines. Some from the 1960s. Even if the worlds next 5 navies combined they would not be capable of defeating the united states navy. Now mind you this is without the use of nuclear ordinance. If we take out the factor of nuclear exchange in every situation the united states utterly destroys every power that could come against it. The united states military has complete superiority in Land, Sea, and Air. Its military has no way of losing in open war, without nuclear exchange.
