Since the canceled shore leave last week for the Kittyhawk during Thanksgiving stranding a bunch of families that flew in I hope they don't expect a warm welcome in a US port any time soon.
They even refused one of ships asking for anchor privileges to ride out a storm in their harbor also, usually a courtesy granted to all vessels. That patriot upgrade with Taiwan (completely defensive system) really must have gotten their little panties in a bunch I guess.

Hey, that's neat. Here's a photo of when the US Navy visited Japan:
Perhaps we could update this photo with a similar visit to China's ports.
To: Red Badger
Spiffy looking ship......... It looks cool, but it's actually obsolete. The Type 051B destroyer is stealthy, but it has extremely limited air defense capabilities, making it a large, floating target for cruise missiles. The Chinese don't necessarily parade their more capable ships.
