SG shall NOT make big ships just for the sake of making it.
Like Chinese saying go, before you hit others, protect yourself
first.
CV or other big naval ships is a floating duck and potential
huge floating
coffin without proper protection from threats from
submarine, surface and air .
ST Marine is selling 15,000 tons
Kindly note the official name is ENDURANCE-160 Multi-Role
Support Ship below.
LPH seem give u a better idea of this ship.
I hope overseas forumers would not say SG is
building mini CV.
I am against SG builing naval ship more than 5,000 tons.
ST shall put overseas exhibitions materials on its
web site.
SG people is the last one to know ST progress ! what a
shame.
