"Blue Water Navy" isn't just for the 2 oceans; the PRC
surface ships have
sailed around the world
already. As
things progress, I don't need more evidence to predict that their CVNs will appear
outside of Asia/
Pac. in the future. For me, seeing a glass of salt water is enough to imagine an ocean.
having written articles across a number of forums on what blue water navies are I can happily tell you that your ignorance outweighs your confidence about your actual knowledge
more to the point, you are going on a holiday from here because you are just degrading the quality of the threads with continual nonsense
you've been told so many times about how to improve your time on here but its not working
maybe an enforced absence will help
It would be an even better idea if you make the effort to understand what people actually say rather than inject your own interpretation and then further injecting additional off topic thought bubbles into your responses
hence why not only I but also others suggested politely that you read more and post less.
a nations ability to sail around the world or appear outside of regional waters does not constitute a blue water navy - and in the original terms it was about nations that had self sustained fleets able to defend themselves and exert influence and outcomes in each of the 7 seas, a localised as well as transoceanic ability - that reduced it to a club of 4 nations. Since the collapse of the soviet union, blue water now seems to refer to a fleet deploying and self sustaining, and being able to exert and influence by force in a given ocean.
China by definition is a regional blue water navy, her force structure is regional and is a decade away from being persistent transoceanic.
