| #2 WORLD MIL FORUM > CHINESE AID AGZ SOMALI PIRATES HAS KICKED OFF THE PLAN AIRCRAFT CARRIER ERA. China should have at least 3 ea. CV's in the Pacific, 1 in the South China Sea, and 1 in the Indian Ocean, with each PLAN CV ideally being of the large class weighing up to 100,000 tons. ALso from SAME > on news that Russia may convert TWO TYPHOON SLBM SUBS INTO CRUISE MISSLE-ONLY BOATS, that iff China cannot get Russia to LEASE TYPHOON SUBS for its PLAN it should make every effort to learn and REVERSE/RE-ENGINEER ITS OWN SIMILAR CLASS, AND FOR UTILITY AS FBM, BMD, UV and SLCM MULTI-MISSION, HYBRID OR "ARSENAL" STRATEGIC ATTACK SUBS??? |
