[BillRamengod]

Randomly came across this comic again today, and even after all these years, it still managed to make me shed a few tears.
Translated and share it with you guys.

Since this also involves some history about the Type 055 (including the first failed development attempt), I decided to post it in this thread. If the mods find it inappropriate, please move this post to the Fan Art/CG thread.

Easter egg: The little mascot on the waist of the Type 055 chan actually comes from a person this forum are quiet familiar with: Shilao from the Guancha!
He boarded the ship for a visit while the first Type 055 Nanchang was still under construction. And apparently he hasn't left ever since.

I can't see Sydney, clearly they did the exercise too far from Oz. Need to do it again at 12.1 NM off oz.

Indeed too far from Oz coast. Should be practising FON nearer to test there's no double or triple standards by vassals of the hegemon.

A live-fire exercise by Chinese warships in the Tasman Sea went undetected by air traffic authorities for 30 minutes, with the alert finally coming not from government officials but a Virgin pilot.

Australians need to step up their photo game. Japanese put them to shame.

On second thought, didn't the Australians take some much cleaner photos of the same group? I seem to recall seeing some.

I feel they adjusted the colour setting to bring out the rust clearer.
