PLA Navy news, pics and videos

Location is vicinity 210549N 1103150E. And proves very little other that that they want to store four zubrs (two active, one in workups) and up to six LCMAS there. Which based on the numer of LPDS (3) at Zhanjiang means they will only embark three LCMAs per LPD, not four. Means nothing about the capability. LCMAS stll not observed with anything but troops being carried

Make that two but not more than three LCMAs per LPD, not four as was previously assessed. Otherwise theY would have built additional ramps.

a sweet news


On this year's valentines day, lieutenant Chen on board DDG Changchun on global port visit mission, registered marriage with his wife lieutenant Jiang on board FFG Yangzhou on 26th Bay Aden escort mission. But they didn't have time for wedding ceremony because of their duties.

You can't even say that, because you don't even know how far along China is towards fielding a rim drive nor do you know how far along any other country is towards fielding a rim drive.

You can't deny China's progress either. Anyone else out there covered this technological break through other China?

Who said I was denying China's progress? What we are talking about is NOT China's progress but specifically about your unsubstantiated claims that rim drive research has allegedly "enhanced China's capability in submarine research and building", increased China's "software, hardware, production techniques, computer aid design", and that "China closer to using this technology on their subs than any other player", none of which you can actually demonstrate to be the case.

That is exactly what you are doing! Just because there was a story showcasing the progress of China's research on rim drive you automatically dismiss it (which is fine) as not true? You don't think the scientists involved in the project learn anything and what it can be apply to (even on submarines)?

What are you even talking about at this point??? You can't even keep your arguments straight here. The discussion has been that people were mistaking Admiral Ma's comments on the IEP to mean that rim drive was going to be on the next submarine, which is clearly NOT the case, and which has been definitively debunked using actual video evidence and pointed out to be an ERROR, something which despite all your baseless claims you have not been able to deny. IEP will probably be on the next submarine. Rim drive will not, whatever progress has been made on it so far. You have been trying to baselessly go off topic and attempt to claim how much rim drive has contributed to China's submarine research and construction technology, which is not only nonsensically ass-backwards, but also NOT the same claim as saying that China's rim drive tech has progressed, which it almost certainly has.

ALL kinds of tech can have submarine applications to it was my point before you went emotionally stupid on yourself over nothing.
