I'm sure you're not suggesting you take that seriously Deino

I must admit I am very much confused... at the moment we are in the holidays in Denmark, I only have my old mobile phone available and two days ago my brother's wife died on cancer ... I just feel like being hit by a truck.

Oh no, my condolences Andreas.
My thoughts are with you and your family.

Naturally PLA watching would be the last thing on your mind. Take time for yourself.

Is there some kind of fish joke going on here? With Deino hearing it's a fishing ship and the picture having several fishing references on it (helos dragging a fishing net, a crane hauling up fish, huge fish coming out the none-island side), seems like there's a fishing joke among insiders/ big shrimp.

Maybe I am reading too much into it, but could fishing be a metaphor for ASW missions?

"big shrimp" itself is a joke.

Is it just a kind of Chinese humor?

When I saw the two helicopters with the net, my first thought was anti-mine warfare. But then I discovered the second net and the big fish ...

This photo also confirms well deck

Next question how many LHD? 2 or 4?

4 x LCAC in 8 x LPD total 32 units

2 x LCAC in 3 x LHD total 6 units

Total LCAC 38 units

Around half the capacity of USN

Chinese "have fish" homonym for "have extra/remaining", so my guess is the poster is hinting at more LHDs to come. Unfortunately it's unclear as to whether this just means a 2nd or 3rd LHD or more than that.

It is just a simple joke, nothing more and nothing less. No need to speculate.
