Also KIZILELMA and ANKA-3/4 unmanned stealth Fighter Jets
If the S-400 issue with the US is resolved, F-35Bs will also be an alternative.

NUKDEN Nuclear-Powered Submarine Project
( YASAR GULER - the Minister of National Defense )
The Nuclear-Powered Submarine (NÜKDEN) project, which is part of our country's vision to increase deterrence against regional threats in the Eastern Mediterranean and surrounding seas and to become a global power, is continuing as scheduled.
The response given by the Minister of National Defense, Güler, to a parliamentary question on the subject is as follows:
“The Republic of Turkiye aims to increase its naval power by expanding its defense industry in various sectors, and also to build long-range and highly stealthy submarines. Currently, there is a projected timeline for the design, production, and feasibility study of nuclear-powered Submarines.
The Turkish Naval Forces are open to cooperation with all friendly and allied countries, especially NATO countries, regarding nuclear propulsion technology, and continue their efforts to utilize domestic and national technology in the Nuclear-Powered Submarine Project, as in all platforms.
The goal of building a nationally designed Submarine and a nuclear-powered Submarine within the scope of the ongoing National Submarine (MİLDEN) and Nuclear Submarine (NÜKDEN) projects aims to increase our country's deterrence against regional threats in the Eastern Mediterranean and surrounding seas and to enhance its global power.” "It is part of the vision of becoming."

China+India+Russia combined are nothing to compare with the USA for Naval Power Projection
The US : 11 Aircrfat Carrier and 9 Amphibious Assault Ship
China+Russia+India combined : 6 Aircraft Carriers and 3 Amphibious Assault Ship
The US Navy with USMC have great Fighter Jet fleet
-- 300+ F-35B/C stealth Fighter Jets
-- 153 EA-18G Growler
-- 420+ F/A-18E/F Super Hornet
China+Russia+India combined not even close
Also The US Navy has more AEWC and ASW Aircraft than China+Russia+India combined

Give it some time. A few years.
China is massively building their navy while the US Navy cant even provide food on board for their marines because every taxpenny is going to Israel.

we generally consider the Indian Navy to cover from Mauritius on the Western coast to the Bali on the Eastern side, while having a look on Fizi also, from sea China. the Indian Navy is truelly designed for having 'two' Aircraft Carriers........
we wont like to interfere in the issues of businesses/"Human trafficking" in the Atlantic Ocean between the Africa and Americas from the top to bottom....

The history of human trafficking between Africa and the Americas consists of two distinct eras: the historical Transatlantic Slave Trade, which legally commodified human beings for centuries, and modern transnational human trafficking, which operates through illicit networks today. [1, 2]

The US is actively pursuing historic naval shipbuilding partnerships with South Korea, Japan, and Türkiye to counter China’s massive maritime expansion.
The US' military budget is larger than the combined defense spending of China, Russia, India, the UK, Japan , S.Korea and France.

Most Nimitz class ships are the old relics of the Cold War.
Just take a look at the performance of the CVN-78 and CVN-79, it seems that the USN has not picked the rightful technology tree of the EMALS, and its performance is becoming very questionable. And it is also under heavy scrutiny by the US navy committee to question whether other ships of the Ford class should be scrapped.
China has finished the Type 003, with the Type 004 under construction, and planning for the Type 005.
China has also outbuilt in the global elite nuclear submarines.
China will also be the first country to equip the navalized version of the 6th gen aircraft.

China can build 5-6 nuclear submarines in 6 months, can the US achieve the same outcome by using these foreign shipyards?

Human trafficking from Africa to the Americas is an illicit, multi-billion-dollar criminal enterprise that encompasses both a profound historical legacy and complex, evolving modern-day networks. While historical routes relied on overt, legal chattel slavery, modern trafficking relies heavily on deception, transnational organized crime, and the exploitation of irregular migration pathways. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

The US Navy intends to acquire at least 10 Gerald R.Ford class super Carriers
The US Navy maintains a completely nuclear powered Submarine fleet (70 units), giving it a massive strategic edge in terms of global reach and stealth
China not even close
SLBM
USA : 280 ( simultaneously deployed at sea )
China : 72 ( simultaneously deployed at sea )

Images of Enslavement and the Slave Trade
Although Britain outlawed slavery in 1833 and it was abolished in the U.S. after the defeat of the Confederacy in the Civil War in 1865, the trans-Atlantic trade in enslaved African people continued. The main market for enslaved people was Brazil, where enslavement was not abolished until 1888.
[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.95)]These images depict scenes from the trans-Atlantic slave trade. They illustrate the capture, confinement, and inhumane conditions experienced by enslaved African people as they were kidnapped by slave traders and forcibly transported to the Americas on the Middle Passage.

[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.95)]Captives were transported considerable distances down river (seen here, the Congo) by slave traders to be enslaved by Europeans.[/COLOR]

The CVN-78 is still plagued by the technical issues since its birth, while the CVN-79 keeps getting delayed.
Many US nuclear submarines are getting over 30 years old, and its modern construction speed is very slow compared to China, and they cannot maintain the lead in quantity very long.
BTW, China currently got around 120 SLBM with the JL-2 and JL-3 as the 72 figure is undercounted; in reality, China got around 10 SSBN boats of the Type 094 variants, not including the Type 096.
Since the US has no more power in its land based ICBM as the Minuteman III is mostly becoming decoration, and it can only rely its current numerical advantage in the SLBM.

That's a strange claim. China alone has already commissioned four 36,000-ton Type 075 amphibious assault ships, and there's also a 50,000-ton Type 076 coming this year. Why would you say these three countries combined have only three amphibious assault ships? That data is clearly wrong.

The US military budget is mostly going to Bibi Netanyahu and their ships are getting older and older.
China is winning at every front, only blind people can deny this. Its gonna be their century.
