    They can toss their lunches later for all that matters is that during the meantime, the Houbeis were able to conduct missions and fire missiles in rough brown waters (not far a way, a Philippine fishing vessel capsized). You need to account for how much is the actual below waterline displacement for these vessels as this is not a typical wave piercing cat.

    Did those boats just fired missiles from that pic you've posted? It still appears like there is no armament in those boxes? Either way, that camo looks like it's working really well in that environment.

    It looks like for me they were preparing to be fired. According to reports, Houbeis live fired in the exercise. Well, just about everything the PLAN threw into that exercise did from Sovs doing Sunburns to Kilos doing Klubs.
