lol,
We got to get in on this pirate hunting thing.
That would be awesome for the navy.
Brings back memories of the carribean. Ahhh those were the days.

The ville De Quebec just got back from scaring pirates, and another ship from the "wet" coast is leaving soon. So we are doing something, but with manning shortages we probably arent doing enough

well, heres hoping they get their hands dirty, and not drop the bloody ball
like the Germans did a few days ago
just stop and let them get away 
although I'm sure I want the Chinese getting too much combat training

The great thing about the chinese is that they dont value life like we do, so i am pretty sure they wont mind a little bit of wet work

hmmm...not sure what I think of this. The Chinese have proven that they have no qualms about shooting first and making up answers later.
roger-roger @ Fri Dec 26, 2008 6:05 pm
As long as they stick to shooting Pirates I dont think the world will mind.
ShepherdsDog @ Fri Dec 26, 2008 6:07 pm
Even if they make a mistake, we'll never know.
roger-roger @ Fri Dec 26, 2008 6:08 pm
Depends on the mistake.

It will be very interesting to see how it works out. The Chinese Navy has been spending lots of money to rebuild and modernize compared to when I was there and their navy was mostly made up of old Soviet pattern subs and destroyers. If nothing else, it'll be a good opportunity to see how they operate.
