This story can’t be right. After all we had all the FR posters who gobbled up all the casino/ hotel BS and who downplayed the idea that the Chinese could ever deploy a carrier. And those buck-toothed four-eyed little Nips could never be any threat to our mighty Pacific Fleet battleship force either.
Incidentally, I think they got the “hotel/casino” cover story because that was an idea put forward upon the retirement of the destroyer killer HMAS Melbourne.
A Chinese patriot—but will this new carrier be of any use to Red China in the future? Maybe we need to sell afew overaged Carriers to Japan...Just a thought.
