Rival navies expand shrinkage to threaten Seventh Fleet
Vice Admiral William Mack warns the U S Seventh Fleet faces shrinking size and rising Soviet, Chinese navies. He notes 60 percent fleet reduction since 1988, while Soviet and Chinese forces grow, complicating postwar strategy and allied influence. He cites India treaty leverage and calls for visible power, including carriers, to deter rivals.
