YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The U.S. has by far the largest aircraft-carrier fleet in the world, but China is catching up on the technology and design with its new vessel–the Fujian. The U.S.’s new Gerald R. Ford carrier holds several advantages over Beijing’s best carrier including a larger range and better ability to detect smaller targets, but the Fujian is catching up in some areas including its launch system for aircrafts.

WSJ compares the two superpowers’ best military ships to understand their strategic goals.
