The blurb below the picture makes a point of that its a limited fleet without the large scale logistic support enjoyed by the USN and I suppose that's a fair comment, but surely it wouldn't be entirely that difficult to re-role and retrain the massive Chinese merchant fleet for this task? Bet they would adapt really quickly.
