#Chinese #destroyer #XIAN (XI'AN) 153 arrived at #France's #Toulon naval base Monday for a visit. The Type 052C warship is part of the 32nd Escort Force, deployed in April from Zhoushan. They don't look too friendly in these pics... http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2019-0 ... 191762.htm

I neglected to include the link to Chris Cavas's tweet carrying the three images, a couple of which appeared to be the source of his remark :oops:

Can't resist this one Dennis ;)

What?? You think Chairman Xi's forces aren't going to share a laugh with a really "friendly" US Navy Captain during a 'goodwill' visit to the West's premier capitalist nation? :)

MAYPORT, Fla. (Nov. 3, 2015) Capt. Lyle Hall, commanding officer of the guided-missile cruiser USS Vicksburg (CG 69) shares a laugh with Senior Captain Wang, commanding officer of the Chinese Luyang II-class destroyer Jinan (DDG 152) during a ship tour as part of a routine goodwill port visit. Foreign navy ships routinely conduct port visits to Mayport. Engagements like this demonstrate a continuous navy-to-navy bilateral relationship between our two countries.

Oh yea, friends n buddiezz to the end.......which will be when Chairman Xi sez it is. I rather doubt that HUGE PLAN Fleet is being built (rapidly) for "goodwill" tours. Oh cynical me.......... :shock: DFO

She is getting around, and WITHOUT a HUGE tug to "escort" her, like the Russian ADM. MARKOV has. Simply aaaaaahhmayzing!! ;)

In early June 3 PLAN warships magically appeared in Australian waters; they are getting out and about. DFO
