CDR Salamander is right.

CDR Salamander had this to say about the above vid...

As a watched this video, all I could think of is - they just got back from a 5-month deployment.
Look at the condition of the ships. Look at the uniforms and general squared away nature of the Sailors.
I'm sorry - but appearances matter and can tell you a lot about the rest of a Navy; just ask the Imperial Russian Navy after the Russian-Japanese War a bit over a century ago.
I don't know about you - but it makes me want a whole bunch of Chinese BM1s.

I had a few more take aways....

* Yeah.  Their ships look better coming off deployment than ours do heading out.
* Did you catch the belligerence concerning the disputed islands?  There will be trouble in this region soon.
* Did you catch the Officer sporting 782 gear and a Battle Rifle while in dress uniform?  That's old skool stuff.  I mean that's what the Marine Corps did during WW2.  That's an indication of a martial spirit that I fear we're losing.  Bad news for us.

Sal is right.  Appearances matter and as much as I hate to admit it, the Chinese Navy is looking good.  Warrior good.
