what's the best melee weapon for naval combat?
>>65350552pinoys are too powerful
>>65350552Hire a frog from the city of Sete, they still practice naval jouting
>>65350552oar>can use it like a polearm>blunt, bloodless weapon, so it's fair game in the eyes of God>can use it to propel your bote when you're not thumping scalawags>renewableluv me oar
>>65350552a polearm that is long and stabby but also has that co2 cartridge in the blade so they can explode the pontoons
>>65350552based china, smack those flips
>>65350552fuckin dinosaurs
>>65350552I wonder what the chinks plan to do when the US coast guard finally arrives, other than seethe
>>65350590Time to bring back triremes & oar rakes?
>>65350552Based off history, I'd say boarding axes and boarding spears.
>>65350671Coasties is a huge escalation. That would be unfair. Let's just issues letters of marquee.
>>65350552How about a cutlass?
>>65350778...but its not a Halberd.
>>65350552Chinks actually learned something after the>>65350578 incident. Now they're doing sneak attacks towards unsuspecting fishermen instead of trying to ram the bigger boats.
>>65350778is a cuttle ass like a cuttle fish
>>65350552What am I looking at here?
>>65350580I've been there before, beautiful city
>>65351797
https://x.com/nexta_tv/status/2079255263819792718What is that huge floating thing in the background?
>>65352082https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRP_Sierra_Madre
Boarding axe, cutlass, handgun
>>65350552That in place turning looks pretty sick in action.
>>65352082BRP Sierra Madre?
>>65351815>chinks still seething over the fucking MadreGuys you gotta let it go. New Vegas had a whole DLC about this.
They should sail more old ships there and build a whole fortressimagene
>>65352082how long before its too rusted to be habitable?
>>65352501By humans? About thirty years.
I'd love to know what the Flip-flops were thinking in using a small inflated dingy for this work. >what's the best melee weapon for naval combat?One of those long paint rollers with dog poo on the end so that the enemy crewmen will back away from it and fall into the water.>>65350671Obviously bonk them with oars.
>>65352382The spookiest place in Fallout universe
I dated a Filipino chick last year who was impressed I knew more about their military history than she did.
>>65352750was she into bareback?all the Filipinas I've been with before hated condoms
>>65352654there was a news article where most of the lower levels have rusted through, and that was 10 years ago. The Marines stationed there have to spearfish to extend their provisions. Pretty grim
>>65352819Both of you get checked.Afterwards, her mouth and ass can't get pregnant Anon
>>65352819That girl was a 40yo virgin and probably would never have sex for religious reasons. I dated another one about a decade ago who was into anal creampies.
>>65352750Did you quote Starship Troopers?
>>65350552I thought they only fought India like this.
>>65352082If you life is real bad, you might be a flip.If you're a flip and it's going worse, you could be in the navy. If you're in the navy and it's somehow worse than that, you're stationed on this derelect hulk rammed into a reef, and turned into some Waterworld ass bullshit.You're stuck, they send MREs.Welcome to hell.
>>65353610the water looks nice. can go swimming, fishing, enjoy the sun. play games with chinese coast guard.
>>65353617Tetanus?
>>65353610Filipinos have a particular kind of outlook and national identity that's fun to be around. Like they recognize they're the Mexicans of Asia and a country of rape babies, but fuck the police they're gonna ball out and enjoy being themselves. I'd bet at least some of these guys are enjoying the adventure in a way we can't comprehend.
>>65350914Cutlass is ideal for shipboard use. You will be unable to use a poleaxe halberd etc anywhere but an open space on the deck, a Cutlass is basically a machete you can stab and punch with and were explicitly designed to be used in cramped spaces like under the decks of a ship even without much training.If you want to pretend to be some kind of HEMAfag at least consider that perhaps the weapons used in specific scenarios were designed for use in that scenario.>But muh reach>*Unsheathes flintlock*
>>65353610>>65353748Sounds like they're having fun compared to others in the area.
>>65353646The tetanus-causing bacteria, Clostridium tetani, doesn't actually have any fondness for rust. It's a common soil bacteria that needs an oxygen-free(ish) environment to thrive (like, say, deep puncture wounds), but can survive as dormant spores in the damnedest of places.Trivia: the toxin produced by these bacteria, tetanospasmin, is the second deadliest poison know to science. It's only beaten by the chemically quite similar botulin (aka botox), produced by Clostridium tetani's sibling Clostridium botulinum. Funny family that one. Clostridium perfringens is messy.
>>65353773Flips are interesting people. The family of one girl I dated had been directly involved in ousting Ferdinand Marcos in the 1980s. Like, actually. I found the newspaper articles.
>>65350552Drones
>>65352501>how long before its too rusted to be habitable?The real question is how long until its so rusted that it will be crushed by a hurricane and lost with all hands.
>>65356850https://globalnation.inquirer.net/231870/sierra-madre-repairs-made-despite-duterte-dealhttps://www.gmanetwork.com/news/topstories/nation/995836/chinese-envoy-filipinos-were-doing-construction-work-on-ship-violated-agreement/story/Surprisingly sturdy since they've been constantly repairing and reinforcing the inside.
>>65357407Good. Fuck China. More power to flips and their rusty middle finger to the PLAN.
>>65353566The chinks have been doubling down on their harassment towards the flips after that one humiliating incident that happened last year.
>>65357508>those seamen chunks going into the drinkThey never confirmed these deaths did they?
imagine WW3 breaks out but it's melee only
>>65357616The "official" report as to why the chinks were scouring the area after was they were looking for sensitive equipment that fell off one of the ships during the collision. The flips even offered to help in the search without any malice on their part and the chinks just flatout ignored them.
>>65357705The Chinese people are many, the Chinese people's feelings are irreplaceable.
>>65350552>harpoonARR THERE BE WHALES>there be ur fat mamaSHADDAP
>>65357616what was going through that guy's head before he got turned into whale food?
>Image obtained by Global Times shows Philippine personnel’s malicious assault injuring Chinese law enforcement officerWhat level of chink twink is this lmao
the aussies should have sunk the chinkshit ship that pinged while their diver was underwater, rescued whatever chinks made it off the ship and executed them on live television
>>65359428oh and to stay on topic, the melee weapon they should have used was the boomerang
>>65359428They fucking pinged a diver? That's like... murder, right?
>>65359447Depends on how far they were.
>>65350552I bet all the officers in the chinese vessel got execution vanned after they docked.
>>65358419If china ever invades half of the military is going to die and the other half are going to live as femboy sex slaves
>>65358419My grandma has manlier looking arms
>>65353617>the water looks nice. can go swimming, fishing, enjoy the sun. play games with chinese coast guard.It makes you wonder if maybe when the cameras and political officers fuck off they just chill, have a BBQ and bitch about their wives together. I can't imagine some Chinese fishermen will refuse a game of cards and some black market trades.
>>65361461Pretty much what SEA was doing there minus the political officers and cameras before the Chinese came and lorded all over the place.
>>65358114He was a chink so probably just buzzing sounds
>>65353766You just had to be rude, didn't you?Lighten up, Francis
>>65353766The thing is you.... don't need to fight below decks. Once you control the deck you can trap the remaining crew and smoke, burn, or grenade then to death, or just proceed to shoot the ship they're trapped in up with grapeshot.
>>65353821I worked with a guy whose older sister saw The Beatles play in Manila in 1964.
>>65357508>that one humiliating incident that happened last year.What happened?
>>65364511Two chink ships tried to ram into a Philippine coast guard cutter with a pincer move, but they got the timing wrong and ended up T-boning each other. Those two chink sailors on the bow were most likely turned into chum.
>>65350552A trident
>>65350552marlinspikes and Bosun pikes
>>65358114The bow
>>65350552benis
>>65353610You forgot to mention Chinese cannibalism.
>>65350552who is who
>>65364549You’re forgetting an important part, the pinge CG ship offered to help, and instead the chink navy ship continued trying and failing to ram the flips rather than rendering aid the the coastguard chinks that just got an involuntary nosejob on their ship and might or might not have been sinking in the heat of the moment.That whole incident cemented to me that chink navy officers are fucking retarded and will make frazzled, terrible decisions in an actual wartime scenario.
>>65352654>>65352382>>65352082Looks comfy. They even have a gym: https://edition.cnn.com/videos/international/2014/07/01/sierra-madre-philippine-marines.cnn
>>65353766
>>65367755>you got problems with guys? >are those guys somewhere between 5 and 30 feet of you?>come on down to the pointy stkck emporioum>we got all kinds of pointy sticks for all your poking stick needs>poke a guy on a boat? we got something for that>poke a guy in a phalanx? we got something for that>poke a guy with a gun? Uhhhh
>>65350552For situations like this? A boarding pike.
>>65364549Chinese lives are worthless, they only care about the loss of face, which was severe.
They approached the derelict ship while Marco was in the Philippines.The Philippines is a corrupt shithole who doesn't want to improve their military beyond gibs so they're stuck with a RHIB.Any country with self-respect would have ignored and bypassed China completely and invested in Sea Stallions/Sea Chinooks (even better if they have refueling booms), a Cessna seaplane and tons of coast guard and naval warships.
>>65350552
the philippines should buy a used cargo ship, retrofit some decks for habitation and reinforce it, fill it with sand and other construction materials and anchor it next to the rustbucket
>>65368353>they're stuck with a RHIB.Try sailing a ship on a reef and see what happens.
>>65360241
>>65350673It goes without saying
>>65358419that is an actual child wtf
>>65369227Meat is luxury over in China. Most chinamen subsist on rice and vegetables. Your average chink doesn't have enough protein in them to build up muscle.
>Filipinos took a showerI'm surprised no one has posted it yetThis shitshow is mad funny
>>65352440Letting go of poverty
>>65358114Besides the bow of the ship? Nothing, they're p-zombies, they don't have interior experience.
>>65359428>rescued themYou mean mulched them with a deck gun and sent the video to the Chinese government along with a video of the crew laughing and making 'ding dong ding!' sounds while squinting their eyes.
Implessive
>>65352826They get to swim and fish all day in a tropical paradise. How is that grim?
Filipinos are the most based Asians and it isn’t even close.
>>65374247It got pretty grim when the well-deck rusted out and the guys couldn't use it as a makeshift basketball court anymore, but it's been all good ever since they installed starlink.
>>65350552This shit is genuinely too embarassing. How the fuck are we getting into situations like this? Why did we let the Chinese get into melee range? There needs to be a proverbial humiliation for our asses, that we might actually take after the Germans and take the art of war seriously. I hope to God we fall onto Asia as their collective punishment.
>>65374693The only people who say this are flips, so pardon my skepticism.
>>65352724>I'd love to know what the Flip-flops were thinking in using a small inflated dingy for this workAggression and righteous indignation meets poverty. Same brand of pinoy as SEA internet cafe gamers.
