246 - "How many chinese troops do you think can be carried on just one container ship, with 3500 containers?
A bunch, if you don't care whether or not they will be able to fight when they reach a hostile shore.
Very few, if the above point is actually crucial."

Sorry, I routinely outfitted containers as living quarters on some overseas jobs, made my office in one, and we regularly intercept containers full of illegal chinese entering the US.

A bit of work and design, and a 50,000 capacity troop ship could be outfitted in no time.

Sure.

Try unloading those 50,000 troops under fire.
