It is depressing that a bunch of the chink ships they’re handing out for fun are pretty worthless, from the looks of it. Interesting to see an austro hungarian seaplane tender put into chink service though:
The Zhenhai “Originally a German merchant ship named Manila launched in 1904, she traded hands various times over the next few decades before eventually ending up under the control of the Fengtian Clique during China’s Warlord Era. Originally retrofitted with just a handful of 120mm and 76mm guns, she made for a poor surface combatant, but was later turned into a seaplane carrier with the installment of a crane and was capable of carrying two French FBA-19 flying boat bombers, which she used to bomb the port of Lianyungyang in July 1927, and later Shanghai that September.
Once the civil war concluded, Zhenhai was left to fall into a state of disrepair and was scuttled as a blockship with the rest of the Chinese fleet during the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937.”
