Battle in the South China Sea - US Navy vs China's Navy (Minute by Minute)

The battle is on in the South China Sea as Xi Jinping mobilizes naval forces against the USS Gabrielle Giffords. With both navies facing off, this video explores the potential high-stakes conflict in the South China Sea. Watch now!

The videos are made by the same team that brings you The Infographics Show.

All videos are based on publicly available information unless otherwise noted.

Naval Generals?🤣 That right there shows how much 'research' was actually done for this.

[markcook]

USA will not take kindly to losing a boat . You strongly under estimate USA response.

[TeddyR_Official]

Is it the 1800’s? This video assumes the US has no Air Force. Lol

[forMacguyver]

Information in this video is way out of date and overly optimistic about China's naval/military prowess. Sorry guys you missed the mark on this one.

[Grendelsbane]

USAF just going to sit this out? No use of B2/B21 bombers to take out either ships or missile emplacements? Or no use of the Rapid Dragon system to act as a force multiplier?

[LosLS]

This is all wrong. First of all, we have an Air Force. Second, our subs would just be shooting fish in a barrel. There is no comparison. Those 2 carriers would be on the bottom within the week. only way they take a carrier is with a sucker punch. Meaning they got to do it first. Before the littoral and the Philippine base. Once they attack, that carrier would become very hard to find, as all their satellites would go down and the US and Japan would have immediate air dominance over Japan and all the Islands.

[christopherwestbrook]

This is kinda dated. USAF long strikes are an integral part of South China Sea operations

[mattstrandquist]

@4:00 Nope, It does NOT take TWO HOURS for POTUS to be informed that a US warship has been fired on and sunk. It takes MINUTES.

[deycxzd]

For d US to take 5 days prior to launching a counterattack is simply unrealistic.

[longhornjdl]

No one has mentioned China's soldiers' war experience . This would be their first war in a very long time.

[phillipfreely]

I don’t see the USA being dumb enough to lose that many ships

[MannsWoodlandPerspective]

According to this, not a single F35 C exists.

[davidburke]

Who ever made this doesn’t understand how hard it is to hit a air craft carrier with a sub or anti ship missile they are insanely layered in their air and sub defense

[larryclark]

I think you're one minded. The lattorial ships are targets only. After the sinking the USAF would start using stand-off weapons against China. The amount of weapons that could be used would probably tax their air defense forces . This would go on day and night giving them no break. At night B1s, F22s, and F35s would drop precision weapons disrupting command and control, storage and port facilities. These losses would make them pull their forces back. At the same time US subs would teach them to fear the water and remaining naval force would contribute cruise missles to the crowded skies attacking shipping and port facilities.

(From the movie 300, Daxos being China and Leonidas being the US)

Daxos: I see I was wrong to expect Sparta's commitment to at least match our own.
King Leonidas: Doesn't it?
[points to Arcadian soldier behind Daxos]
King Leonidas: You there, what is your profession?
Free Greek-Potter: I am a potter... sir.
King Leonidas: [points to another soldier] And you, Arcadian, what is your profession?
Free Greek-Sculptor: Sculptor, sir.
King Leonidas: Sculptor.
[turns to a third soldier]
King Leonidas: You?
Free Greek-Blacksmith: Blacksmith.
King Leonidas: [turns back shouting] SPARTANS! What is YOUR profession?
Spartans: HA-OOH! HA-OOH! HA-OOH!
King Leonidas: [turning to Daxos] You see, old friend? I brought more soldiers than you did!

[MA_KA_PA_TIE]

Uh oh, they touched the boats. Big mistake.

[stevenmccary]

China has more boats yes, but they also name every canoe in their waters as a naval vessel. Going by tonnage, they have 824, 000 tons of boats. The US has 3.8 Million tons.

[sethstriker]

You civilians ALWAYS assume that the CCP is competent in war, all the while ignoring what history has to show us about what's actually happens when the CCP tries its hand at combat. While it is never wise to underestimate your opponent, I think that if the CCP ever gets froggy, that the world would eat well on frog legs.

What’s the name of the narrator? He has almost as many channels as Simon.

[Bfizzle]

The USAF, Japan, and Australia are just sitting this one out I guess
