It is beginning to look like it. As to the Squall, if you read more of the article, you will see that these babies are already up for sale. China has taken delivery on Moskit-type Sunburn and Yakhont supersonic antiship missiles, along with the Dovremny(sp)-class destroyers to launch them, that can hardly be defended against. Couple that with supercavitating torpedoes below the surface, and I'm glad I'm not in the Navy anymore.
