Note:
(a) For amphibs, see amphibious warfare ship http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphibious_warfare_ship
(often shortened to amphibs or phibs; denotes a range of classes of warship employed to land and support ground forces, such as marines, on enemy territory during an amphibious assault)
(b) The article quotes Mr Roughead as saying, "There is great fixation on aircraft carriers, with little discussion on fixed land-based systems, whose GPS coordinates will never change. The GPS coordinates of an aircraft carrier at this minute will be different than it will be an hour from now.”
From the context, it seems to me that he could have referred to either China's or America's--or both.
(c) The article mentions just one expert. (Retired Admiral Roughead is a former offcial.) I do not know what the title uses plural form: experts. Then again, Aviation Week always a different title in print compared with the one online.
(d) The article lists the problem but provides no answer.
Note:
(a) ship prefix http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_prefix
(BRP [is Filipino for] Barko ng Republika ng Pilipinas; in use since 1 July 1980; meaning "Ship of the Republic of the Philippines")

("A top Russian diplomat[, Moscow's NATO envoy, Dmitry Rogozin] said on Wednesday that talks with the United States on missile defense had hit a 'dead end,' and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov responded coolly to a gesture designed to allay the Kremlin's concerns about US plans")

Quote:
"Ellen Tauscher, undersecretary of state for arms control and international security, told the forum that the United States was prepared to offer Moscow written assurances that the system being built is not directed against Moscow.
"But Tauscher, who held talks in Moscow last week on the issue with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, added: 'We cannot provide legally binding commitments, nor can we agree to limitations on missile defense, which must necessarily keep pace with the evolution of the threat.'
