Harbinger of the future as nations stake claims for the undiscovered riches of the sea. That and Obama is pushing the Law of the Sea Treaty allowing an international body to control US seas.

I wonder how many of those fishermen said “Oh Crap” (or worse) in Chinese just before that frigate hit them.

I somehow doubt the commitment to true liberalization of a country which does not, as soon as practicable, rename a ship called
Dzerzhinsky.
Unless the ship is the namesake of some Russian naval hero or extremely clever botanist by that name...

The chinese need to get spanked every now & then, as expansionist as they have been over the past few decades.
Gotta show em where the line is, I guess.

Dzerzhinsky was commissioned in December 1984. Before the collapse of the USSR.
The Russians don’t usually change the name of ships that have already been commissioned.

You, know, I kind of figured both of those.
Even so, renaming it Solzhenytsin or Sakharov would have been pretty good PR.

Named after “Iron Feliks,” of the NKVD/KGB fame.

In fact in Russia border guards are branch of KGB (later FSB).

I believe that the Border Guards had their own Directorate in the old KGB.

Calling a Russian warship the Dzerzhinsky would be like calling a German warship the Himmler.

The other interesting thing is that Dzerhinsky was actually Polish.
