Now the Philippines have seen the ship, it's time to bring up the pictures!

Deciding what and what is not off topic is and remains the discretion of the Moderator Team.
Let me repeat the mission of the ship and its rescue/salvage are the topics and conversation should stick close to them.
The moderators are also sceptical as to why this needed a separate thread and we will lock it if we dislike what we are reading.

What isn't clear to me is what a PLAN Frigate, even an obsolete one, was doing within 60mi/100km of Philippines' coast. I suspect there's more to this story...

That's ridiculous. Why don't you ask the USN why it sends its ships just as close to China. And why would they use this old Jianghu to intentionally ground it for the purpose of using it as an advanced base in the future? It has no helo hangar and would be difficult to supply. They would have done far better if they had retired that hangared Luda into this shoal instead if they were planning to use a stranded ship as an outpost. Let's get real: some captain is going to get fired for being incompetent and letting his ship catch bottom, by accident.

What does everone think will happen to the Captain of FFG560? Under Mao and Stalin, he might get a bullett in the back of his head, but about today? Reassigned as commander of a toxic waste hauler?

He won't get a bullet under Mao. Stalin I don't know.
