PLA seems to be in the power projection game now. (5 years to IOC)

Meh. Call me when they're doing sustained cyclic ops at night, 5000 NM from Chinese soil.

In other news, it looks like they've adopted a working uniform as equally retarded as the NWU.

I have to admit, that's one hell of a conference table. I bet that they're required to use coasters.

The Navy needs to address this blatant capability gap and start issuing smurf cammies with fur collars immediately.

Choker collars on some of them too, those looked comfortable and functional.

That thing looked about as long as a football field.

Wake me when they crank out the autodog...

Midrats..........this time with more cat. And you can sure that the ship's laundry we be a well oiled machine..............I'm sorry, was that wrong?

100% of what I know about carrier operations comes from reading, and documentries/movies . So with that caveat, it did not appear as if the did anything but replicate our carriers and add the British ski jump.

Am I even close, or do you see things from your perspective that are surprising?

It's a Russian/Soviet knock-off.

It's not even a soviet knock-off. It's a soviet carrier that they bought. The knockoffs are their jets

Thanks Treetop, Forgot it was the Varyag.

It's been awhile since you've been underway, eh? We equally suck. I think I saw dog a dozen times in a nine month deployment. Hard pack was a bi-weekly welcome sight but went quickly.

This may be a yawn for everyone not floating around 7th Fleet, but regular deployments of this boat are going to be an issue for those of us that do work in their back yards. Especially if they decide to shadow whatever CVN is operating in "their" waters.
