I just thought that I'd try and answer a couple of points raised, and some way back stuff that was inaccurate, or daft:
1. Someone asked about the HrMS Karel Doorman. No, it was NOT the first RN carrier. It was, in fact, the ex-HMS Venerable. It was sold in 1968 to Argentina, and, as the 25e de Mayo, was to have played a part in the Falklands War, but when HMS Conqueror sank the Belgrano, it was withdrawn, lest the ARA lose even more face. It has since been broken up. (In, wouldn't ya know, India)

This area is the Chinese intrest in outer space. This means sattelite coverage of weather and also communication/navigation. GPS ability. GPS ability has changed much about the way our military works. Especially in the arena of global strategy and tactics. This will represent a huge leap in ability for a Navy or land army.
Just something for you folks to keep a eye on especially concerning the PLAN.
Thanks,

Daedalus,
I am somewhat surprised that the Indian space program has so far to go in outer space. I know that there are or were alot of Indian Nationals working here closely with NASA. I live a few miles up the road from the NASA Langley Research Center in Virginia. There is a substantial Indian population here in this town most of them working with NASA.
Its just that with NASA help I would have thought they had overcome many of those problems by now. Curious about this .
Thanks to both of you for your posts,
Orangetom
