"If you are going to send a ship in, do it with something the Chinese are going to have to think really hard about going after, that will require sizable assets to counter it."
Following that logic, why not a carrier group? Or two?
No sarcasm. Honest question.
Quoting: Adytum My personal conjecture: A measured size of force asserts the desired presence without inviting a larger response. China, the whole world knows that we have the largest most powerful Navy in the world. It is also a very big deal when you send an entire carrier group. This measured message is one of presence, not war.
