I actually tried to remember the last time the Chinese Navy had a victory, and couldn't think of one offhand.

Kind of like the french LOL.

I think the last time the Chinese had a truly great navy was...the fifteenth century, when the Emperor commissioned the creation of a large navy to increase trade with India and the Far East. At that time, Chinese ships were the most modern in the world, in many ways hundreds of years ahead of what the West had. For some mysterious reason, the huge navy was dismantled and the ships were never used again.
