i just saw another pic-you can see a chinese guy on the bow of his smaller boat with a pole in the water (keep it clean guys) -ostensibly to snag the towed array. now, i don't know if that's true or not-i can't help but wonder how long that guy could have managed to hold on had he snagged it...
at any rate, perhaps an escort for these unarmed ships is in order. HIG, they ever have a contingent of marines on board these type ships? i'm thinking no...
