#5 Actually kinda surprising how well the Chinese ship held up after that type of impact. Still able to limp back to port under its own power with the bow stove in. Good compartmentalization for a vessel that size. Prudent folk would consider this as free insight into battle damage assessment and adjust their plans accordingly

#8 Yeah, that'll buff right out.

The cutter will have to be towed back, though. No way it can handle anything other than a very light swell and still maintain control.

Also, it looked like two sailors on the bow of the cutter right before the strike. Hope they moved quickly.

#11 Chinese Destroyer Rips Bow Off Chinese Coast Guard Cutter During Intense Harassing Maneuvers

#12 It's also nice to see that the Chinese provide 'crumple zones' at the bows of their cutters.

That or some superior chinesium metallurgy technique.

The destroyer will need a bit of Bondo, too.
