Bottom line, put the US Navy on one side of an ocean and put the rest of the world's (ROW) navies on the other side. The US Navy would destroy the ROW navies in a week. The difference in capabilities are simply night and day. Thinking otherwise is simply stupidity. To illustrate this, a single US aircraft carrier is more capable than all the ROWs carriers combined.
Wow you really have no idea about the world outside your little bubble do you.
LMAO
Ignorance is bliss huh? Lets go down the list shall we. SS are good for defending coastal waters, not great in blue water. So, the ROW can defend a coastline really really well. Of the rest of the worlds SSNs, only the British Trafalgar boats can compare to the bulk of the US submarine fleet, LA Class boats. The Seawolf and Virginia boats totally outclass anything in the world. The CG class is really muddled with the larger destroyers out there, besides for the single Russian Kirov ship which has limited utility. US DDs are heads and shoulders above anything outside of the 6 Japanese Kongo/Atago ships. Aircaft Carriers? Are you kidding. Take a look at the airgroups each of the carriers carry and compare that to what a single Nimitz CV can bring to the table? Heck, US Amphib ships can carry as more aircraft than most VTOL carriers out there.
We're not even factoring in recon satallites, GPS (which the US controls), long range aircraft, training, ect. Each of which multiplies the great qualitative advantage the US holds.
Sorry to burst your bubble with a healthy dose reality.
