How could you tell? Half the cargo ships in the world seem to be anchored near Singapore at any given time.

So the green shoots are actually barnacles? Park that many ships in warm waters and and at least the seaweed growing on those ships is green.

As was pointed out on the thread a couple of weeks ago, the size of this “fleet” is virtually infinitesimal compared to the D-Day fleet (which also was assembled in far greater secrecy)

Yeah, that looks like a really secluded place to hide all those ships, with all those high-rise apartments along the shoreline.
What a joke.
