>loading boats onto a ferry is now worthy of a heavily edited propaganda videoIt's Chinese and weren't any fatalities though so maybe they are learning.
>>62154144There is large fleet of such ships with very high capacity. Comparing to dedicated build military landing ships. You can move MUCH with civilians ships.
