Suddenly remembered this ship called Yuan Wang 4.
We passed it near Hosburg Lighthouse. At that time we were
overwhelmed by the sheer number of warships we were tracking that
the CO and XO came up to the bridge to have a feel of it there.
And then we saw this fucking big ship that looked like your
container ship except it was painted grey. Warship alert!
When it got closer, we scanned it and saw some wierd dishes and
poles sticking out.
Someone suggested looking under USN for identification. No ID.
Someone suggested UK. No ID. India? Nil. Russia? Nil.
Someone suggested China and there it was! Yuan Wang 4!
The bridge laughed because the name suggested "Maligned
4".


Now I reading about it on the net, I should guess it means "See
Far 4".
