Talk:People's Liberation Army Navy

strike-mile comparison is misleadingly/incorrectly framed
"A 2016 review concluded that PLAN's missiles had higher firepower than the USN's, measured in terms of "strike-mile", the ability to delivery a warhead using anti-ship missiles (ASM) across a given distance. The review used the following formula for every ASM the navy had in its inventory: Total strike-miles=(Range of an ASM × Warhead weight of an ASM) × Number of such missiles carried by a warship × Number of such warships in the navy It concluded the total firepower of the PLAN was 77 million strike-miles compared to 17 million strike-miles of the USN."

This was not comparing the firepower of each fleet but rather the firepower of each fleets major surface combatants. critically not including carriers. Given that US doctrine places emphasis on concentrating ASM firepower in its carrier air wings and using its Destroyers and cruisers to defend those not mentioning this is misleading.
