U.S. Navy's Preparedness Amid China's Naval Buildup and Taiwan Threats

The US Navy is preparing for the possibility of war with China as tensions rise and China builds up its naval force, threatening Taiwan. China has the largest navy in the world and has threatened to invade Taiwan, an important US ally. The US Navy is mustering about 300 ships, with 100 ships at sea at all times. The Navy is also closely monitoring China's military progress, including its development of long-range precision guided weapons and "carrier killer" missiles. The US Navy remains a formidable fighting force, but officers within the service have questioned its readiness.
