and speaking of "60 minutes," we return now to our reporting here in the western pacific, where america. the top u.s. navy admiral for the indo-pacific fleet has said this is the most dangerous strategic environment in decades. well, why is that? well, china is engaged in the largest military buildup since the second world war. both conventional and nuclear. that makes the u.s. navy's job here more important than ever, and yet america's navy faces serious challenges, trouble recruiting a new force, and aging ships, with long repair delays and sailor deaths by suicide. most notably, america's naval fleet is set to become its smallest in 100 years, as china becomes the largest navy in the world. but one thing the chinese don't have is nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. the uss nimitz is breathtaking to behold, a floating city of 5,000 sailors. when we first landed on a c2 greyhound, we watch hundreds of sailors. their uniforms color-coded, red, yellow, green, purple, and brown, each defining critical jobs to refuel, arm, and launch aircraft. we met america's best-trained pilots, who say t

america if that happens. simply put, peace in the pacific means jobs for americans. war in the pacific, on the other hand, would put american economic freedom at risk. in addition, what happens in taiwan will have consequences for whether our allies decide to pursue new capabilities they have thus far forsaken. with open access to the pacific ocean, beijing would almost certainly push tokyo, seoul, and others to seek to acquire nuclear weapons. or perhaps even to rebalance from the united states to china. what this development would mean for the u.s. alliance network and stability in the indo-pacific is unthinkable. our allies and partners also play a pivotal role in providing key military basing in the western pacific. with u.s. bases in japan, south korea, and now the philippines, our national defense in the pacific is strong. without those, our national defense would start on the shores of guam or hawaii, rendering america much harder to defend, rendering our homeland much harder to defend. these allies want us in their countries. we're there because they have all
