With all of this contextualization in mind, I find it highly probable that the author is a middle-aged, single or divorced, moderately wealthy British guy with a respectable educational background from a reasonably high-ranking (but certainly not elite) University near London, who subsequently led a successful 1-2 decade career in some form of "Professional" field[1] - but who grew dissatisfied with the lack of "purpose" it brought into his life.

In lieu of a family, he likely began searching for a "meaningful" effort to throw himself into, likely resulting in lots of traveling, and his self-appraisal as having "varied interests" in life. At some point during this search, he starting writing, likely as a hobby, and perhaps initially addressing topics with which he was truly familiar, but as his "varied interests" chafed against his limited knowledge, began to expand the scope of his penmanship to topics outside of his expertise. Eventually, whether it was spurred by an obligatory middle-aged white dude's pilgrimage to the Asia-Pacific, or if the topic merely grabbed his attention during some other activity of East-Asian regional interest, he took interest in - at a minimum - the PLA Navy's procurement of Aircraft Carriers, and perhaps has been drawn to the PLA/TW/US/JP WESTPAC topic as a whole! With this newfound passion, he must have launched a research effort of epic proportions, perhaps consisting of 1, or dare-I-suggest, even 2 attempts to shout "Chinese Navy Aircraft Carriers" into his phone's Voice-to-Text.

Well since patchwork has a theory then I guess there is an obligation to find it which didn’t take long. No point in posting his personal website link either.

Just to cut it short. Author is British, university of London, expertise in financial specialist & management consultation, certified accountant. 50% of his posts is about wine fairs and food. “Dr Robert Frew.”

Hmm... interesting, a doctor who writes about military stuff. Not competently, but still, let's see...

"... pursued further studies and research at City, University of London, gaining MA and PhD degrees in Arts Policy and Management. The scope of my doctoral research covered organisations in the profit and not-for-profit creative industries sector."

Hmm good for him.

Annual check on alleged 004 nuclear land-based demonstration reactor. Still far from finished in 2022.

We might need to seriously consider the possibility that they would put 8 sub reactor in their first CVN.

Ps. Though I also don't think we would necessarily be able to see or identify a land-based test reactor before they put it in an actual carrier (or ever).
