Still do and it's not even close.....

Aircraft Carriers
US: 11 / China: 2
(Ours displace 30-40% more than theirs, and we have better and more aircraft to go on them)

Cruisers
US: 13 / China: 8

Destroyers
US: 75 / China: 42
(Ours displace about 20% more than theirs.)

Nuclear Submarines
US: 68 / China: 12 (China has 47 more non-nuclear)

And technologically, one of ours beats one of theirs. 

Really the only thing we aren't overwhemling leaders on are the smaller class of warships like Frigates and Corvettes (we don't have any Corvettes at all), and they've already designed, ordered, and are in the process of building a new class of Frigates already.
