America Needs More Predator Submarines to Stop China

-

 


The U.S. Navy's Virginia-class attack submarines are essential in countering China's growing maritime power, argues James Stavridis, a retired admiral and former NATO commander.

Budget constraints, however, limit the Pentagon to purchasing only one submarine per year.

Reflecting on his early career as an anti-submarine warfare officer, Stavridis highlights the superiority of nuclear-powered submarines over surface destroyers.

Despite advanced sonar and support from aircraft, surface ships are at a disadvantage against submarines.

To effectively counter China's naval capabilities, the U.S. needs more predator submarines.
