#1 Well, UnRep only works when you can load the tankers safely. Where the tankers are loaded would seem to be the key in a Pac war that lasts more than a week. The carriers and subs may be nuke, but every other naval asset (including planes) all run on oil products.
If the Chinese can hold the US Navy at arms length and swat the refueling depots, it would cease to be a problem in about ten days.
