Informational. Spratly Islands.

Flashpoint.

The Spratly island chain will be the area where the next major naval battle will probably occur. 

Consider this.  The Spratly Islands chain is reported to contain vast oil reserves.  Also consder that Malaysia, Taiwan, Vietnam, Philippines and China all claim itt.

Now think about all the wars that have started over less.

    I recommend SSN by Tom Clancy, from all the way back in 1996.

    And check this out: The PLAN is building 056 Frigates out of four different shipyards.

    They are not building 8000-ton "destroyers", they are building dozens of frigates as fast as they can.

    World war 3? Hope it will not happen. Many lives will suffer on this if the dispute of those countries persist and lead to war.
