- The China seas are the most fiercely contested and mysterious waters on the planet. Draining the China seas exposes the remains of the biggest battleship ever put on the water and the extraordinary truth behind a 700-year-old mystery.
- Four stories about drama in the (East / South) China Seas, clarified by the virtual sea-emptying laser-exploration techniques. In World War II, the largest battle ship was the Japanese Yamato, secretly built at a size and canons beyond the wildest Western imagination. It saw little action, being sunk while serving as a floating fortress in the desperate naval last stand against the US approach to Japan, falling victim to its own strength: a lucky hit in a gun turret ignited its immense ammunition stock, causing fatal explosion. The term kamikaze, wind of the gods, dates from a 13th century stand, when the samurai shivered on Japan's southern coast at the arrival of a huge fleet sent from China by the Mongol conqueror Kublai Khan, which was utterly wrecked by a 'lucky' early typhoon, but only was fatal because the ships were built hastily and shoddy, barely seaworthy. Along Vietnam's coast, the Cham archipelago is lined with commercial ship wrecks over the centuries of sailing, due to dangerous tides and winds. In this virtual age, the China sea beds also harbor the world's largest concentration of internet cable highways, proven vulnerable to under water catastrophes like mud slides.—KGF Vissers
