Today we simulate a massive China vs South Korea naval battle in Sea Power, featuring 11 modern warship types on each side.
This is an escort ships-only engagement — no aircraft carriers and no air wings. The battle takes place in the Yellow Sea, with each navy relying entirely on its surface warships and missile arsenals.
