#5  Looks like the Chinese are getting ready for some live-fire Land/Sea/Air training : just the thing they will need if they wish to use their LPDs against Taiwan. Plus, one of Taiwan's main strengths against a Chinese fleet is the fast attack missile boats of the Taiwanese Navy. Practice against lighter, less well equipped boats will still count as training in that area.

#4  Thank you, gents. I can tell you he is pumped. They have been looking forward to the HOA mission like a 7 year old looks for Christmas. Like the article says, they were training pretty hard during work ups.
