Rise of the East: How Asia Is Becoming a Continent of Great Navies
The eastward shift in naval power will continue in 2030, a product of both declining defense budgets in Europe and growing economies in Asia.
Here s What You Need To Remember: Could China really reach 415 ships? Such a total would probably require twice as many submarines to be produced annually, a boost in destroyer production to achieve a net gain as older designs age out, and a huge increase in amphibious ships. It would also require two more carriers than are currently in service or under construction.
The most powerful navies in 2030 will be a reflection of the broader state of the world. Some countries are invested in preserving the current international order, and see naval power as a means to maintain it. Other emerging countries are building navies commensurate with their newfound sense of status, often with an eye towards challenging that order.
