Oops, my bad.
The Varyag is 124 feet wide, so I guess it won't fit through the Canal.
I thought that we'd constructed a new series of locks to handle the carriers and some of the larger merchant ships, but I could be wrong.

If Mr Li ever orders Hutchison-Whampoa to build bigger locks in the Panama Canal they are going to HAVE to recycle the water instead of letting it get away. There'd be a danger of drawing down that fresh-water lake too much with really big locks I bet.

A few more trips to WalMart and I'm sure they'll have that trench widened enough to fly an amphibious C130 through.
