It was supposed to be a visual celebration but an official poster to mark the 68th anniversary of the Chinese navy has instead been a massive Photoshop fail for the Ministry of National Defence.

The poster of the Liaoning, the country’s first aircraft carrier, was produced by the ministry and shared on its official microblog on Sunday.

It pictured the carrier sailing the ocean waves with a flotilla and under a bright blue sky, declaring: “Happy birthday, People’s Liberation Army Navy!”

But online commenters were quick to point out that instead of a Chinese jet crowning the vessel’s deck, the poster showed a Russian MiG-35 fighter aircraft.

The errors were compounded by the decision to cut and paste in two ships sailing alongside the Liaoning – those vessels are US amphibious assault ships, not Chinese vessels.

Same kinda $#!T happened at the 2012 RAT Convention. During tribute to US Vets, they were showing pictures of Russian ships and Turkish fighter jets.

It's not the slave *state* that's the problem, it's the slave *mind*.

US and Chinese ships in the same fleet?

Hmm...maybe the “Firefly” storyline is coming together after all?
