I do realize that every navy and air force in the world do shadow each other. It's usually the air forces that engage each other, rarely the navy.
China has every right to feel protective of its carrier, but I think this was above and beyond a provacitive acting on Chinas part.
What idiots, they sent a LST to intercept a Guided Missile Cruiser. LOL That's like trying to chase down a Corvette with a VW Bug.

Bang on!
Why would China send such an ill equipped vessel? They have much better ships around Liaoning at all times, just like a US carrier...
Which is why I think this was just some dick waving by a couple Chinese Captains. Captains that are probably getting new ports from their superiors now...edit on 13-12-2013 by peck420 because: (no reason given)

The narrative hasn't changed at all. I have yet to see you address anyone else that does it though. So it's perfect fine for others to do it, but since is the US it's Eeeeevvvviiilllll, right?

The Captian of that LST when he recieved orders for intercept was probably thinking, "You want me to do WHAT!"
But being the Chinese navy, his reply was probably, "Yes Sir. Long live the PRC...out." (All the while thinking, "I am oh so dead.")

If you read the real history, you would know that the US did not win any wars single handed, and especially in WW2 it would have been the Soviets that had the biggest hand in defeating Germany....But even in WW2 before you entered you were instigating sheet between countries with your lend lease act while proclaiming yerselves neutral......

Tell that to Japan. Oh and check the timing on the ending of both world wars and you'll see they came to a quick conclusion when the YANKS arrived. We are not known as a world SUPER POWER for nothing. Jeeze get real.
The cooler heads were on the US side this time around. No shots were fired.
