Great Leap Forward.
So it seems. Good for TV video promo I suppose - is this stuff really watched on Chinese TV then?
The points being made by the director seemed to me to be;
1. A young vibrant nation of eager young fit dedicated people.
2. Brand new gleaming materiel which we are proving to work/fly/sail.
3. This is something to be proud of.
I mean it is a fantastic leap in progress, I just hope they don't ever get the vision, money, confidence and wartime experience that made the USN what it is today.
Hardly feels fair to comment on the RNs shenanigans of the last ten years with its carrier and FW carry on.
Wonder what our video would be like to celebrate the float out of HMS QE shortly? What would the focus be on? If we weren't careful...it would look like...
1. A very old Queen/monarchy launching it who looks very old. Possible complacency?
2. Being built in a country shortly to be independent from the rest of the place its supposed to be defending?
3. Already known its not going to be operational any time soon.
4. With empty places where the crews who are supposed to be operating/flying it etc.
Getting the picture. Best our UK video isn't made just yet.
