Varyag

Chinese for "target." It's gotta be.

I say this only semi-facetiously. It's one thing to have an aircraft carrier. It's another to operate it.

And it's a whole 'nuther thing entirely to keep it alive and afloat in a shooting war.

One of our subs would take this thing out in about five minutes.

Varyag was the Russian name.
The thing is really a rebuild of the old Soviet ship.
I don’t think they have revealed the Chinese name yet.
