#1 Hmmm, Germany and Russia were 'allies' in 1939. And Germany's biggest trading partner before WW2 was of course ...

... FRANCE! Stay tuned as further hilarity ensues.

#3 Drills included a simulated fire aboard the Chinese tanker that was fought by the Chinese frigate

Yep. The real McCoy. A Chineese Fire Drill.

#5 Looked through the web for info on the Chinese Navy. Looks as if the Indian Navy may be superior to it.

The drills that they conducted didn't really take any coordination.

You would think that the Chinese would be buying up WWII amphibious assault ships.

#6 The chinese navy isn't much - mostly formed to send forces to Taiwan in the "ineveitable" attack, and more recently as Spratley oil development is becoming a national goal, trying to develop a means to project force in blue water. Their national focus still seems to be boots on the ground, based on the quantity of people available

#7 Maybe the Chinese want to develop tanker rescue capability after they run one aground on the reefs in the Spratleys.

"You're not usssing me, are yuuu?"
"No, I love ya, honey!"
"Hokay."
