The tugs in Shanghai got a little rough with the Ex-Varang...

I see where you're getting here :hmmm:

China is not preparing for war, they're just defending themselves agains giant octopuses, giant fire-breathing lizards and giant moths :o

Can you really blame them? :haha:

These creatures, they also fire automatic weapons, just look at the small-arms strafing just above the octopi's marks :o

Help, I only live a few miles from the sea, what if they evolve? :doh:

Looks like three exhaust ports with the usual carbon build-up. Tug came alongside and her fenders wiped the soot off.

I'm still warming up the popcorn machine for when they actually try their hand at live carrier air operations. The night and weather landings are gonna be fun.....:DL

Exhaust Ports huh? I'm guessing that if we fire a shot in to those that the whole battle station err aircraft carrier will be destroyed. I'm betting its ray shielded so we will have to use Proton Torpedoes.

I'm guessing it going to turn out something like this...

Proton Torpedos? Probably overkill. I'm sure just shoving a potato up the exhaust will do just fine :D

Chinese military equipment is so cute...

Too bad everything they make is reverse engineered western tech. Taking a page out of the old soviet union playbook, steal, not innovate.

Works well right?

Well it at least looks threatening to the gwai lo, or laowai.

Don't be ridiculous...

They steal from Russian tech too. :D...and from americans as well. Did you know that their standard issue light weight ASW torpedo is an improved* copy of Mark 46?

*"improved" in this case means merging best features of stolen american and european torpedo technologies

Did´t they use over 20 years to "reverse engineer" the old version of the Mark 48 torpedo?

I assume you mean the YU-7? Joke's on them, the Mk-46 is a little piece of junk. ;P They didn't technically reverse engineer that one, we basically told them how to build them and sold them a bunch.

I forgot you handed them over to Chinese (which in my opinion wasn't smartest of thigns to do) but I'm in understanding that Chinese were supposed to do only assembly work and didn't get full tech transfer.

Its true that in today's standards 46 mod 2 is somewhat obsolete technology like (in my understanding) Alenia's A244-S. Intresting question is how capable combination of those technologies really is? Also, how much Chinese have put in their own little modifications?

Their program got started by them picking up a few that they found, and ended with us selling them several hundred MK-46v2s as well as providing support on how to build them.
