The Japanese are definitely getting more aggressive. About time. If you want to see the Chinese Politburo come down with a collective case of diahrrea, let Japan announce it's building nukes.

The picture is pretty amazing. How was the camera placed in such a strategic position?

A Japanese Admiral was quoted after Pearl Harbor that "Japan had awakened a sleeping giant." N.Korea and China are now waking a sleeping giant.

The description of the Japanese vessel as being from their 'Coast Guard' brings a question to my mind - is there a Japanese 'Coast Guard' as well as the 'Self-Defense Force'? Or is that just their naval component?

Guess it's time we (those of us on FR who don't know) started learning more about Japan's forces and capabilities...

Wow... Are those orange thingies visible on the port side some kind of industrial-strength fenders, and if so, are there similar ones on starboard, or is there some serious hull-to-hull, metal-to-metal contact going on here...

He didn't crash into you, he didn't wreck you, he 'rubbed' you! And 'rubbin' is racin'.

Actually, this is called 'shouldering' and I think that many Navies abandoned the practice.

Looks like that Chinese tub is flying the Hong Kong flower flag from the head of her kingpost aft, and a Chicom rag from a jackstaff forward, lower down......violation of Chinese law......

I don't doubt for a second that that BS Chinese "committee" is wall-to-wall PLA men and BuDer operations types.
