A second "barracks ship" is now launched in Guangzhou supporting the expected CV-17 carrier battle group (similar to her sister ship 88), acting as a training sea or moonlighting as a flashpoint evacuation ship
PLAN's Life Style 88
“Assertive” has officially overtaken the word “harmony” as the most
abused word in the China punditry circles. However, in light recent
incidents, the PLAN has been less assertive in establishing an overseas
naval base (Japan, on the other hand, has one in Djibouti).
To
address crew fatigue from the long term Gulf of Aden deployment (and
around Okinawa), the PLAN has launched the “Life Style 88” crew support
ship. In addition to medical facilities, this luxury ocean liner will
likely include the latest in Swiss Spa treatments for tired sailors. As
is known, one cannot be successful in naval combat with dry facial
skin!
