Luckily klintoon doesn’t have Navy friends to show the PLAN how to keep from running into the ship.
With the “high quality” of chink equipment, it’ll probably pull the back half off with tailhook, that is if they ever get that close.
Me thinks they have a lot to learn and a very steep learning curve, all around.

Agreed, and besides that, the US Navy has been operating carriers for almost 100 years. China had to purchase their carrier from the Ukraine. Hell, they’re entire space program was purchased off-the-shelf from Russia, too.
It’s impossible for me to be even a tiny bit impressed with China’s navy. You know, for a country that is so impressed with itself, they aren’t very impressive to me. They buy and steal their technology and equipment and then everybody starts fretting about “a rising China”.
It’s not worthy of all the hoopla and attention we are paying to it.
