Well the Germans had "POCKET" Battleships, why can't the Chinese have a TINY ex Russian Aircraft Carrier, compact and bijou, able to get into the smallest of harbours! ;) :p

I bought a Christmas bag to hold a bottle of Whiskey and the b****y string handle fell off as I gave it to my friends. Made in China ~x( ~x( If the carrier is like any of the Chinese crap we are buying and they are making for our market, I hope they build loads, develope a costly navy and go bust ASAP! Then maybe we can get back to making proper stuff here again. They should stick to crispy duck.:D
