True. It have been very much an official secret, like BT Tower was.

I don't think that others could have done it any better. Hiding a 300 m aircraft carrier is a bit challenging.

EDIT: What the... 10 comments? There was none when I started to type! I'm becoming slow...

I tried to put a name and a link to our world famous Bundesmarine School sailship Gorch F O C K in the photo thread, well, that did work fine...

Reads article. Reads article. Reads article for the third time.



Anyway, it's nice to see the PRC finally admitting what we already know.

They've got the training center set up, and they've had the HMAS Melbourne until late 2002. J-15 is coming online now, so I'd say the Shi Lang will be fully ready by next year, and I'd wager the next two Type 089 carriers will be unveiled about that point when they start being built.

The following series of essays and pictures regard a fictional set of Imperial Japanese naval vessels, and others, developed by my friend Admiral U. Fura----a. These units never sailed the seas, except in the Admiral's imagination, as part of his "Victory Through Seapower" World War II wargame. I hope you are as amused by them as I am.
