December 8 News: According to the Athens-line network 6, citing U.S. Naval War College professor James Holmes of the analysis, since the Cold War, the Pacific region since the end of the pattern of sea power has changed, he arrogantly assume, the Chinese navy to the United States to the challenges posed would be encroaching upon the former Soviet Union and the level of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
Holmes said that the driving force for countries to develop sea power was still on the same – business, trade and naval fleet. As long as the United States is still strong Asia-Pacific region, Hawaii, Washington would have been a bridge leading to this important region. Moreover, there is no doubt that, as an important military base at Pearl Harbor in the U.S. military during the Cold War still like it, play a vital role.
However, since the Cold War, the pattern of the naval forces of transformation has already occurred. From 65 years ago, the Western Pacific, Leyte Gulf’s largest outbreak of World War II, after a sea battle, the U.S. Navy will be committed to developing their own maritime forces. They have the advantage that a navy to ensure a possible outbreak of conflict in the United States to restrict their opponents in action. He arrogantly assume, of which the Chinese navy is most likely to pose similar to the former Soviet Union to the United States Navy and the Japanese Imperial Navy, then the sea has brought challenges for the United States.
Holmes noted that, in this case, the United States must maintain its advantage of high-tech and combat areas. So, in November, the United States is intended to be the rule of the vast ocean alone, “Missouri” HMS (ret.) into dry dock for the necessary repairs. In 1945, the warship has witnessed the end of World War II. “Missouri” HMS is designed to Battle Empire, such as Japan, “Japanese Class” or Nazi Germany, “Bismarck” and other warships. In addition to attack enemy vessels at sea beyond, it almost does not have other functions. However, during World War II, the belligerent is a disgrace that such routine tasks. Later, the aircraft carrier to replace the fleet of warships as the most important one, while the ships are primarily responsible for support missions, the enemy shelled the coastal areas, protecting aircraft against threat of air strikes. In the end, they are finally reduced to the idle stop at the shore level.
Holmes said that now the old functions, but also in the shoulder, the U.S. Navy has also been given new functions, such as the fight against piracy. Moreover, these new functions has also attracted the attention of the outside world. In addition, Holmes also said that he visited Pearl Harbor, when the end of 10, where he saw the Japanese are equipped with the Aegis system Myoko, the ship docked in the port by the same distance from the U.S. are equipped with the Aegis system, “Lake Erie “There is only one terminal cruiser. 2007, “Lake Erie” into the attack on USS Zengyin out of control down a spy satellite with its notoriously. However, observers from other countries, especially China, the U.S. military observers will be interpreted as a move against Washington with the beginning of the Chinese military anti-satellite test conducted by the measures taken.
Japan’s “Myoko” cruiser at Pearl Harbor appeared statement of the contemporary United States naval forces by the existence of two cases. First, if the Navy to reduce the extent of focus on offensive operations, then the right, such as ballistic missile defense and other defense tasks concern rises. The Government of Japan agreed to join the U.S. Navy’s missile defense program, allowing U.S. forces in Japan over the launch of ballistic missiles, but has also agreed to test a nuclear weapon. In this case, the warship as a mobile guard tower can play a role, but also to become an offensive force platform.
Second, the U.S. strategic position in the Pacific began to rely on coalition diplomacy. Nearly a century of time, the U.S. Navy have enjoyed much freedom in East Asia to establish a base rights. In 1898 won the hands of the Philippine Islands from Spain, the United States their formal occupation. However, in 1946, the United States agreed to independence of the Philippines, and in the 20th century and the early 90s in the Philippines closed down the domestic set up base. Thereafter, located at 1400 miles east of the Philippines to Guam, according to the Asian continent has become the latest United States territory.
Holmes added that, in addition to the Philippines, the United States and its other allies in the Asia-Pacific region – Japan, the relationship between the variables have emerged. Out of Japan on the world stage over-confident suspicion, leaders of the Democratic Party of Japan has indicated its intention to stop the deployment to the Indian Ocean naval counter-terrorism. This implies that the Japanese government want to quit the world stage, return since 1945, played the role of a passive defense.
Now, for the U.S. military in a crisis or wartime rent Yokosuka, Sasebo and Kadena and other military bases, will the performance of Tokyo has been quite tolerant. If there are no military installations in the U.S. military stationed in Japan at sea there is support for the U.S. Pacific Fleet in Asian waters of the voice will become negligible. For the purposes of U.S. power projection, Hawaii and Guam will not be much of a role to play. This will have been since the end of World War II the United States benefit from the order of Huashangjuhao sea. Finally, Holmes also warned that Washington must not inadvertently lose their superiority in strength in Asia.
