You always find a way to sh*t on India in every single one of your posts no matter how irrelevant it is, and quite frankly I love it.

So... Any indications that the ship will be moved out of the dock today? They didn't bring those tugboats for nothing, no?

Patience.

It's not a flooding ceremony after all, it's a launch ceremony.

Awesome! My home province! I wonder how much that will cost us for the naming rights lol.
Imagine in the future coast guards radioing other vessels to get out of the "Fukin"'s way. hehe
Just gotta make sure USN don't have any vessel named Canton...

As Cantonese lang, I’m Feeling proud too for my northern bros

I will sue USN if they dare to use that name, Canton/Guangzhou only for Chinese Nuclear Aircraft Carrier lol

It is only 1:30 pm in China. According to @Temstar's post earlier, the near by ferries services are to be suspended only after 3 pm.

H.I.Sutton also made an article on the launching of Fujian.

Though, someone in the replies kindly pointed out the mistake in his tweet by referring the Fujian as "033" instead of "003".

Maybe it's time for China to start pumping out 30 more carriers?
