^Yeah but Exocet sounds so uber-sexy. And 1982 is still 40+ years more modern than 1941!

If not Exocets, how about Silkworms? Might even be more appropriate/ironic to use on a Chinese aircraft carrier.

Bes I worked with a guy who was on the Enterprise in the late 60s and he was on board during the massive fire the ship had. He said despite the fire the thing that frightened him the most the whole time he was assigned to the Enterprise was the catapult and arrestor wires. He saw a lot or injuries like you describe above.

China versus US, UK, France, India, Argentina?

Well, given that their government is based on ideology implemented nearby in 1917, I would say this is par for the course.

Give them 50 more years and we should see Capitalism and Organized Crime based-rule... err... wait... I think they already have that.

Good observation.

when was the first landing of an aircraft on a ship?
1911

Do you own a 1911 or are you one of those Glock groupies?

Funny think is, when that movie came out the average high schooler would get that joke.

These days? I wonder.
