Impressive enough and true, my concern is the Chinese Navy buildup of attack submarines. What would their targets be? Give you a list and the GW will surely be on it, especially in a Taiwan scenario.
Things that make you go hmmmmmmm. As a Naval Aviator, always hated the attack threats from below...

China's largely inactive submarine fleet stirs (1/8/08) -- www.GovernmentExecutive.com

"The Navy has been faulted in some quarters for paying insufficient attention to China's growing maritime power, much of which rests on new submarines. At a House Armed Services Committee hearing Dec. 13, 2007, ranking Republican Duncan Hunter of California said the U.S. Navy risks being eclipsed by China's growing maritime power.
In an exchange with Navy chief Adm. Gary Roughead, Hunter said China was "outstripping us by 3-1 on submarine production, and your own figures show that they are going to eclipse us in submarine numbers in 2011." In response, Roughead said anti-submarine warfare was a top Navy priority."
