“In 1985, Chinese shipbreakers purchased HMAS Melbourne, an Australian Majestic-class aircraft carrier. The PLAN scavenged equipment from the ship, and reportedly studied the hulk extensively.”
LOL, seven times in that article they word hull is replaced with hulk. Did China write it?
I lived in Subic Bay back in 1969 when the USS Dwight Evans was cut in half by the HMAS Melbourne.
They towed the aft end of the destroyer in, and for the next few years I passed by the wreck nearly every day.
Because, by that time Melbourne was a hulk destined for scrapping, not a functioning ship.
