China busts out it's Pimp Hand on the US Navy

the retrofitted oil driller i was on was run by raytheon (big defense contractor). most of the time there was no one from the navy on board. you had a lot of ex-navy sonarmen hired by raytheon for the program. the concept was "proved" on the smaller ship and then raytheon received the contract to build the behemouth's pictured.

I still want one.

Since they come with water hoses I will need
to know how much water they draw as I will commence
directing my hose spray at female beachgoers.
Preferably various Club Meds located at accessible
shore locations.

Chinese sailors...
they screwed up in a bad way.

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...

Total rogue China melt down at sea...Nothing State sponsered...probably been watching too many reruns of 24

What do you expect from countries who are jealous at the way we live. They dont have the freedoms that we have. Of course they will be jealous, if it was me I would turn the countries into parking lots.

Trust me...China ain't jealous of how we live, other than our colleges. Amused maybe, jealous, no.
