Neat. Some of these things (in general) are very hard to understand, like the carrier.

Cool

Hello!

Posts: 283

It's an ex-Soviet Varyag Class rusting hulk that China bought at an auction. It's either being reverse engineered or used as a training platform...

...but more reliable sources have told me that its being used as a casino/hotel at the moment.

So much for the arms race now days. Tongue

In Google Earth press CTRL + Shift + A, if that doesn't works Alt + CTRL + A or CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + A or something like that.

You'll see what it does Wink
