It's legitimate. I have the video but I can't post it on the forum due to file incompatibility. No hull breach on 164 but the 056 cutter...

If anyone ever wonder why there is water discharging from 东工403, this is sea water from the barge's ballast tank. "A ballast tank is a...

I think your hunch is correct, but usually there is a military ship in the vicinity to deter other naval vessels. This opens up the...

More images of the large landing barges.

For comparison, an American destroyer that collided with a tanker only required a year of dry dock time at an American shipyard.

I agree, serves them right for playing this stupid cat and mouse game, instead of doing what other navies or coast guards would do...

I saw the full video that showed the damage to the 52D.

The opening ceremony for the "Maritime Cooperation 2025" joint exercise with Russia.

Sending here for comparison. There was a big hull breach below the water line too. It is why the ship was standing off balance. It took...

Well it's not a hunch so much as it's modus operandi that naval ships generally don't get involved in direct action where collisions are...

For China, it's important to not be too hot-headed at this point in time. This serves as a important lesson for the PLAN and the Coast...

I think you're stretching it here. Yes, the CO of the destroyer. Well, either the CO was being particularly gung-ho and not observing...
