Why do you downplay the threat? This kind of reasoning is why we are here and China's the largest Navy in the world. They are fitting a third aircraft carrier and are expected to have 5-6 by 2030. We, however, have a ship-building problem. I watched an episode of 60 minutes a few weeks ago and our Navy is very concerned about China. (2) The State of the Navy; "Only in America" | 60 Minutes Full Episodes - YouTube It's a good watch and I urge you to take a look.

Did a little search to better answer your question: According to a 2021 report by the United States Naval Institute, China has the world’s largest navy, with more than 355 vessels in its fleet[color=var(--cib-color-foreground-accent-primary)]1[/color]. The United States Navy has approximately 490 ships in both active service and the reserve fleet; of these approximately 60 ships are proposed or scheduled for retirement, while approximately 90 new ships are in either the planning and ordering stages or under construction, according to the Naval Vessel Register and published reports

Now think about how fast their Navy has grown and our inability to maintain. Currently, we don't have the manpower to build ships and our costs are skyrocketing.
