They copied the Russian ones they bought as scrap. Did they copy the tug that goes with it?RTW1Reply toRTW1
No, Casualobserver, Lyndon Johnson should never have gone into Vietnam because he wouldn't listen to his generals, who knew what they were doing. When Nixon came in, he finally bombed Ha/noi, per the generals' advice but quit a few days short of their impending surrender (which he had no way of knowing). By then public support for the war was too far eroded.JB
If it's anything like the motorcycles they build it'll be at the bottom of the ocean in weeks.Miss Ann Thorpe
China is once again proving they will copy anything but can innovate nothing.NapoleonDyno
Gotta love the $4.99 worth of red ribbons strewn about the ship. Like a Carnival send-off.Corinne WatersReply toNapoleonDyno
And it's all ending up in the water, too. No matter, it's already so polluted that nothing lives in it and sometimes it spontaneously bursts into flames from all the chemicals in it. Maybe they want NK for their land, their clean water and clean air. THAT'S what all this is about !Daveed Cameroon
There won't be a war, this is just tabloid crape, remember when the world was going to end in 2012 then 2016sprumbaba
So they bought the used aircraft carrier to make another copy. I think they find it difficult to steal the steam powered catapult design from the Americans.This is a 1970 aircraft carrier. It is like, let us show our neighbours that we have a floating platform. I hope they build 10 tug boats for towing.
