Before people go running in circles and hide under the bed, I would suggest you remember that it *is* budget time. Best way to feather bed your nest is to point out that its out of date and in danger. Quick, give us new monies to fix the problem! Old military tactic - claim the enemy is a giant and money is the only fix. If we can't get more money, just don't cut anything.
The PLAN (People's Liberation Army Navy - Honest to God, their real name!) has been putting a serious amount of work into killing carrier groups. But, for all the work done on the Dong Feng, and improving their sub operations, they still haven't actually killed a carrier group. Not that they won't be able to, but if war was all about what happened before the shooting starts, history would be very different.
