Welcome to the CavasShips Podcast with Christopher P. Cavas and Chris Servello…a weekly podcast looking at naval and maritime events and issues of the day – in the US, across the seas and around the world. This week…the launch of China’s new aircraft carrier FUJIAN on June 22 gave the world its first clear look at what China hopes will be a game-changer for its burgeoning navy. But what are we really looking at? What is the significance of this new ship and what China wants to do with it? Noted naval strategists Jerry Hendrix and Patrick Cronin join us to bore in on China’s strategies and how the US should be responding.
