Similar thing happened when Nomad and Tan Ru collided.

If it was a pirate ship it would have a pirate flag.

It comes close, but fails utterly. The boxy fore castle and hideously bland wheelhouse on top of it is the main thing that makes it totally ugly instead of kitschy. The stern seems to follow a traditional sailing ship's lines just fine.

Have to agree.

I like the bottom one.

That large, modern one, with all the boats on the side looks like it could hold a crew big enough to take down a nuke carrier, if you could disable it somehow, or catch it in port.

Night boarding action anyone?

They'll never see it coming.

The one up top looks like it would blend in on the Mississippi hunting paddle wheelers….

I would have a meal on that boat

At least three decks worth of Chinese Karaoke going on, judging from my recent experience in Vietnam.

Oddly, it does not fill me with confidence towards the Bank of Communications (交通银行)。

The Chinese are building ships for the Somalis now?

That first one looks like a pirate ship that was designed by a committee composed entirely of wargamers.
