China reportedly converted civilian ferries for amphibious assault operations
MELBOURNE, Australia — China has converted civilian ferries for use in military amphibious operations, potentially enabling the country to significantly surge its amphibious assault capabilities in a contingency like a Taiwan invasion, according to a new report.…..
Another reminder that the Chinese are not as blinkered in their tactics as are our military planners!
I do think China will seek to assemble overwhelming force before they take over Taiwan. They do not have the needed assets as yet, but the nuclear and navy build ups, plus the bases upgrades are all pretty suggestive.
I think it is less than a decade away at the current rate of going.
