Japan Unveils Largest Warship Since WWII


  • Japan will probably never attack the US again.

    They need to take back Formosa, Manchukuo, and Korea first to even be in the ballgame.

    The worry is China trying to make good on all these claims over various independent nations.

    Good that most of these require sea travel and China has little naval capabilities.

    Good that most of these require sea travel and China has little naval capabilities.

    Although I believe that “used” to be an accurate assessment… I don’t believe it is anymore.

    The chinese have constructed a series of advanced sub pens along their coast, aswell as a interlinking network of “sub tunnels” that spider web across their mainland, allowing them to hide nuclear equipment anywhere, in inaccessible areas, and move portions of their navy, undetected over land.

    And almost all formal naval combat drills done at the naval base here in Esquimalt by US, Canadian, and other pacific forces, are always against a force “strongly” resembling those chinese.

    It’s also a concern, that the leading edge of some of the best “weather control” technology today, is by the chinese.

    In talking to several senior naval intelligence staff (Both US and Canadian) it’s common knowledge that the chinese have the naval forces in place to lock down the entire south east pacific, and chinese seas.

    I would also caution that the reds would likely find significant support in some of their “overseas chinese” groups as well.

    They should not be trifled with loosely.

    The plot thickens!

    India just launched an Aircraft Carrier of it’s own! and powers up a nuclear sub!

    Well… it’s still sort of under construction, but you get the idea.


  • That is clearly a Destroyer. Or a giant Tandoori oven.

    TBH no one can tell them apart, they’re all carrier, battleship, destroyer hybrids these days.


  • IL, you still pissed that you can’t differentiate between modern naval vessels?

    Diapers, you still so gonna spank kids when they get older? When you do tell them it’s a Carrier ok?

    they’re really getting to old to spank.  not that spanking won’t do any good, but I can’t freaking CATCH THEM anymore!


  • Spanking is one of the worst things to do. Bad parenting. What is worse is calling the child a LHD.

    Right, spanking a kid who is engaging in activities that could result in their death is the worst thing you can do.

    For instance, I’ve used spanking for:  Playing in the street; Playing with the steak knives (chasing each other and pretending to want to stab each other); Playing with the stove; etc.

    However if they log into my computer and make it sick, I make them sit there and watch the AV programs.  Just appropriate. lol.


  • Did you ever call the kids a LHD?

    Never do that. Emotional scars for life. It seems to instill anger in them and latter when they grow up…. they may troll internet forums.

    what is a LHD?


  • Landing Helicopter Dock.

  • Customizer

    @Cmdr:

    what is a LHD?

    a Larry Harris Disciple? of course here that would be a good thing. :-D

  • I like big boats and I can not lie.  Make 'em so they’re big and wide.

    All right ,all right Sir-Mix-Jerm’foot  :mrgreen:


  • IL:  I’ve asked you stop referring to my kids before, and yet you continue to do so.  This is the fourth of fifth time you’ve referenced my kids getting beaten in the various threads.  I’ve asked you to stop, noting that there’s something pretty distasteful about someone fantasizing about beating a three year old and an infant (the ages of my kids), and yet for whatever reason, you continue to do so.

    I noted that I was a father of small children in a post in which I was telling you about myself and who I am as a person.  Since that point, you’ve made repeated references to my children getting beaten, and I would like it to stop.  I’ve not made any references to or shots about your weight.  I’d like for you stop fantasizing/referring to the beating of my son and infant daughter.

    Don’t reply to me in any form direct or implied. Don’t use language like C**ksucker, stop being so angry, stop starting arguments like “hey idiot it’s a LHD and not a carrier” Or Hey you missed a period…because i could not find anything wrong except grammar. These are not arguments.

    For someone to say they have no further plans to reply to something i posted, then just go ahead because you can’t control yourself is really something.

    Just ignore me and go away. Waste of time dealing with you. It’s not like either party will be convinced of anything from the other. Gratuitous insults is really a waste. Everybody is guilty of that.

    Oh and i am 83.3 Kilo’s so i could care less about weight references. I think that is about 180 lbs or around. If that’s fat then fine. Who cares.

    Summary: Don’t enter threads and quote me with some gibberish in order to start flame wars or you get burned far worse.


  • Did I call you a diseased cocksucker?  You bet I did: after you talked about my children getting beaten.

    Did I say that a posting you wrote with 4 pronouns and no antecedents was incomprehensible?  Yes.  Meanwhile, you ding people every day for misspelling words.

    Did I say “It’s an LHD, not a carrier”?  Yes, I did.  In a thread that was about a new Japanese destroyer, which you claimed without any background in the subject matter, that it was not a destroyer, but a carrier.  I weighed in on the conversation, like about a dozen other people.  What’s your problem with what I wrote again?

    Have I gotten angry at you?  Sure I have.  When you talk repeatedly about my kids getting beaten, after I’ve explicitly said they’re young, and expressed my wishes in no uncertain terms that you stop talking about my children getting physically abused.

    Have a dinged you on your weight?  Not once.

    However, even if you ignored all of the above, the fact remains that you, a grown man, apparently still truly and honestly equate repeatedly talking and joking about someone’s infant kids getting physically abused, with being called a cocksucker and a poor grammarian.  All I can say is:  Holy ����, you have no sense of proportion whatsoever.

    At any rate: I hope we meet in person some day.  I truly do.

    That’s it? The only thing you still don’t get is stop entering threads where you have the intention of causing a flame war. That means do not reply to me, don’t comment about something i said, nothing. Next time you get mad, just don’t use a computer.

    And try to remember that an argument about grammar is not an argument. An argument about somebody using the vernacular “carrier” is basically correct and we don’t need to hear about another argument regarding LHD. It means nothing and it adds nothing. In fact, you didn’t bring that up when other people use used that term. Get a grip.

    FFS, either whip them out and let me judge who has the bigger you know what, or knock it off.
