That a long time ago, Real Men, American Men got together in the room and decided that on resources - we're gonna suck the world as dry as we can and THEN use more of our own stuff.

That idea works up until the day you create a monster that you're dependent on, which is where we are with China.

Del Toro said Tuesday that US naval shipyards can't match the output of Chinese ones. As with fleet size, it's about numbers.

'They have 13 shipyards, in some cases their shipyard has more capacity ' one shipyard has more capacity than all of our shipyards combined. That presents a real threat,' he claimed.

Del Toro did not give a breakdown of those shipyards, but Chinese and Western reports say China has six major and two smaller shipyards building naval vessels.
