I'm pretty sure the US Navy will park on the far side of Taiwan and attack stuff outside line of sight. Missiles and air force attacks I can see. Those Patrol boats will be barely different than land-based missile launch platforms. > supported by the largest Airforce in the world (China has a lot of airplanes) The US Navy has more aircraft than the Chinese Air Force does. The US Air Force has like 4 times as many, and can stage a good chunk of them over the Straight as well. South Korea and Japan combined have about as many planes as China, and I have no idea if they (or India) get involved. But yeah, I have no idea what happens if it stays conventional, and I have no idea how likely it is that it stays conventional (and obviously WMDs mean no one knows what happens). Given the number of fast options (e.g. missiles) to sink ships, I imagine we'll know who will win the fight quickly, but it might take months to actually slog it out.
