What kind of ship is this,
This is a Chinese ship,
It was in Papeete, Tahiti in January.
I have never seen one like it before with all those thingies on it.
We do not have a vessel like it, and we give them aid.
Any one know what it is ??
Cheers Brian,

Re: What kind of ship is this,
That is right Vernon.
this No.6 has Four dishes, and your No.6 has Three dishes. Maybe they stuck another one on later.
Cheers
Brian.

Re: What kind of ship is this,
Brian, without confusing the matter any further I checked all the Yuan Wang Ships bfore I put my answer on and the Yuan Wang 6 is the only one with four Dishes or antenna. I hope that helps.
