A 2013 Wargame Proves the U.S. Navy Could Lose a South China Sea War
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2011%3Anewsml_GM1E7BO13Y401&share=true] Oh, and the LCS has some problems. *Key point:* This new class of warship is too easy for a modern enemy such as China to kill. In fact, there are good reasons to wonder why the Navy is still building them. The U.S. Navy in late 2019 or 2020 expects to select a shipyard to build the fleet’s new guided-missile frigate. The 20 heavily-armed frigates will replace roughly half of the 50 or so Littoral Combat Ships (LCS) that the Navy had pl...

China’s Military Strategy Against America: Less Attrition, More Precision
