The maritime strength is an important standard for measuring a country's military power, but there is a saying that goes, "It takes ten years to build an air force, but a hundred years to build a navy." The navy is not something that can be built up overnight.

However, the weapons and equipment of the navy have been rapidly improved with the development of technology, and the importance of warships is self-evident.

In the currently known data, the United States has as many as 243 warships, and even a small country like Japan has 114 warships.

This makes people very curious, how many warships does China have?

Information source: All the content stated in this article is based on reliable information sources, which are elaborated at the end of the article. Please watch rationally.

U.S. Warships

The strength of the United States is visible to all, as a rapidly rising power, its military strength can be said to be quite formidable.

However, it seems that they have not understood the principle that "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." Not only do they make various troubles with their own strong strength, but they also want to fulfill their ambition to dominate the world.

Fortunately, they will "make mistakes" themselves. They have serious problems in military expenditure, and they have to "cut" the future planning of the military.

But even if they have cut their military strength, their maritime military strength is still formidable.

Now, the number of U.S. warships has reached 243, and this is still the number we know, the actual number of warships may be more than this.

In addition, we should also think about a point that the United States has cut a certain military strength, which must be the worse "cut", that is to say, these remaining military forces are relatively strong, and their military strength is more sophisticated.

It is worth mentioning that the types of U.S. warships are also quite a lot, such as aircraft carriers, amphibious assault ships, cruisers, destroyers, etc., all of which are available, but the frigates are not particularly outstanding, but these things can also make the U.S. Navy have a high say on the sea.

But even if they have such a strong maritime military strength, the "China threat theory" of the United States is still filled in the hearts of almost every American politician.

And once our official media reported that a website in the United States had the U.S. Navy "crying poor," saying that the number of our warships is not as few as we say, the actual number may have reached 650.

If this is really the case, why do they still target China, and if it is really the case, shouldn't they fear our maritime strength and not harass us?

The purpose of their doing so is nothing more than to interfere with our diplomatic relations, smearing us into a country that bullies the weak like the United States.

Or the United States wants to put pressure on its own military strength, not to stop its maritime strength.

This is not a baseless statement. While China's warships are developing, the United States is also slowly feeling panicked and has estimated an expansion of its warship numbers, hoping that its warships will reach about 398 to 512 in the future.

Since the United States is willing to build, let them build it, after all, we can't control them, but the development of Japan is a bit beyond our imagination. As a defeated country in World War II, its maritime strength has now become an indispensable presence.

Japanese Navy

The Japanese fascists did things that angered people and gods during World War II, but justice may be late, but it will never be absent. Through the sacrifice of tens of thousands of revolutionary martyrs in our country, coupled with the two atomic bombs of the United States, our country finally expelled the foreign humiliation.

As the defeated side, Japan's fate is not satisfactory. According to reason, Japan should not have its own army, but they are willing to become the "running dog" of the United States, licking the United States in the hope of getting various support.

After that, Japan's development was very rapid. With the United States as a backer, they dared to continue to develop their own military forces, which is called the "Self-Defense Forces."

Fortunately, the United States does not want to see its younger brother's strength rival its own, so Japan's military strength has always been under the control of the United States. Even if Japan's weapons and equipment are very advanced, they will be inferior to the United States.

But we should understand that Japan's maritime strength has always been quite good. After all, as an island country, the development of other military speeds may be much slower, and in this geographical location surrounded by the sea on all sides, their maritime strength may have started to develop and grow a long time ago.

So far, Japan's warships are about 114, including 5 amphibious assault ships, 9 landing ships, 20 submarines, 44 frigates, and the crucial aircraft carrier, they also have 4.

With such a variety of warships, it can be said that they have completely walked out of the shadow of defeat. Even if many people are dissatisfied with Japan's military development, the most they can do is "condemn" it.

It is precisely because we can't control Japan's military strength development that we should pay more attention to our country's military strength development. Even if our country loves peace, the truth of "being behind will be beaten" and "dignity is only on the sword's edge, and truth is only within the range of the cannon" should be remembered.

After all, we have had our peaks and valleys, and such experiences are still vivid in many people's minds. So we should learn from history, remember these humiliations, and then use this as motivation to continue to strive for the great rejuvenation of our country.

Moreover, in recent years, Japan's voice in the international community has become louder and louder, and its military strength has undergone certain reforms. It may officially transform its "Self-Defense Forces" into a "military force," and at that time, the potential threat of Japan to us may become greater.

But after talking so much about other countries' warships, how many warships does our country have?

China's Warships

Perhaps the number of warships is also a "secret information" for our country, so the following data may not be entirely accurate and is for reference only.

On a website called "World Modern Warship Directory," the assessment of China's naval strength is not very good, but it is not too bad.

The reason is that we are comparing it with the United States.

After all, the military strength of the United States has been developing, and for various reasons, the starting point of all walks of life in our country is actually relatively backward.

However, our country has an indomitable and proactive spirit. In terms of development speed, it is quite rapid. Even if our country's military strength may not lead the United States, the gap between China and the United States in maritime military strength is gradually narrowing.

One day, our country's naval strength will reach the peak of the world.

According to the data, our country has about 425 warships, and in terms of quantity, our warships are much more than those of the United States and Japan.

Among these warships, the most are patrol ships, with 127, followed by frigates, which the United States does not have, but our country has as many as 71, and then there are mineships and destroyers, with 49 and 48 respectively, and the fewer are light frigates, with 44.

The even fewer are large amphibious warships, with only 11, and for the crucial submarines, we only have 3.

And our country does not have any cruisers...

Moreover, the quality of our country's warships may not be able to compete with that of the United States, and in terms of quality, we may not have reached the world-leading level.

However, with such a numerical advantage, we can also think of the principle of "a fierce tiger is afraid of a pack of wolves," not to mention that our country's military development speed is quite rapid. I believe that in our lifetime, we will be able to see more excellent Chinese warships.

We also need to know that because of the suppression of Western countries such as the United States, China can only develop some aspects by itself.

But this is also an opportunity, after all, only by achieving independent research and development can we easily think of countermeasures when problems arise.

Among them, the Type 055 destroyer can be said to be one of the more famous ones. It completed its first sea test in 2018 and was included in the list in 2019.

These may not be enough to explain its strength, and in fact, some media have reported earlier that the 055 has the ability to take on the U.S. aircraft carrier fleet, and its strength is self-evident.

However, our country is a country that loves peace, and saying such "violent" things may be indecent, but "a weak country has no diplomacy." Our country's discourse in the world has become more and more important, and in order to let more people understand the principle that "what our country says is the right way," it is inevitable to develop military strength.
