New picture shows China's Navy in formation with 40 ships, including their aircraft carrier.

The above picture shows China's Navy with forty ships all in formation, including their aircraft carrier. Business Insider has a bit more information on this, but I mostly wanted to show off the picture. It's a little small here but if open the image in a new tab and zoom in you can see the aircraft carrier and a few larger ships clearly. 

It's fairly impressive as it is very rare to see that many ships in one place at one time. Most of the ships are small, frigates and destroyers but there are a few heavy hitters including submarines and the air craft carrier Liaoning. It's a major show of force and a message to China's enemies and neighbors. Don't mess with us. 

Unfortunately for the Chinese this formation isn't a very practical one. With all the ships lined up in a row there isn't much they can do in terms of missile defense. If they were more spread out it would be a much safer formation but as it is right now the whole fleet could be destroyed. 

Not much else to say other than I was impressed with this picture. It's not anywhere near as impressive a similar sized fleet would be if the ships were American but it's still pretty cool.
