Is it a must or a deceptions?Deceptions were used in the latest Israel attacks

on Hamas!!

Did PLAN want to feed misinformations to her potential enemy

the frequency is correctly reported!!

Singapore Navy frigate 22 days without touching land

Recently out at Ex RIMPAC, SSG Michael and his fellow chefs
had the daunting task of keeping morale up, as RSS STEADFAST
tested its sustainability, embarking on a mission to be the fi rst RSN
ship to stay out at sea for 22 days without touching land. Having to
work within ration constraints, SSG Michael also ensured that the
menu changed constantly to give the crew’s taste buds a different
experience daily.----EOQ

Lets wait few more weeks then we know if it is a must or just exercises!!

The first time that PLAN did not bring supply ship along was

on the 5 th overseas trips in 2007.

So far,it is the only one trip that Comabt ship went to overseas alone without

supply ship!!

3.How about western navy?They may ususally go with a group.

Have u heard of any naval comabt ship(s) go without supply ships?

Shotgun SG

Yeap. They make port calls. =D
