China's People's Liberation Army - Navy ship "Longushan" is reportedly ablaze just off the coast of China tonight. The vessel is reported to be "China's most advanced warship."
No OFFICIAL word on what caused the fire. I am not sure if China has acknowledged the fire yet ...
All mention of this is being rapidly scrubbed from China social media networks, and no official information is coming out of Beijing.
The vessel bears Hull Number 980 and is described as a Type 071 landing ship.
China's fifth Type 071 amphibious transport dock (LPD) Longhushan; with hull number 980) was commissioned with the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN or Chinese Navy) on September 12, 2018 in Shanghai.
Originally designed after the Taiwan Strait crisis in 1996, the Type 071, measuring 210 meters long and 28 meters wide, is capable of carrying an 800-man marine battalion and some 20 amphibious tanks.

You have to flesh that out for someone to know what you meant by it.

No they haven’t. My son is an Active Duty Sailor home ported on the West Coast. There may be woke crap at the top but the day to day operations in the Fleet are still the same..

If it were to sink that makes two capital assets the ChiCom navy has lost this year (submarine a few months ago) ...
Maybe the money for shipboard disaster training is being diverted to the Cho BiDung crime family.

“There may be woke crap at the top but the day to day operations in the Fleet are still the same.”
That’s good to hear, but the rot does trickle down. Just look at recruiting shortfalls, for example.

“There is a reason that the USN practices fire drills continuously (at least, they used to), and that is that an effective fire brigade can save a ship from disaster.”
I thought that was the “John McCain Is Aboard” policy...
