Re: Cambodia opens the way for Chinese naval presence
If one refers to the current Nautical Chart for Kg SAOM, Chart 93283, Edition 5, NTM 201138, on which all soundings (depths) are stated in metres, there seems to be a degree of misinformed/uninformed information flowing across this thread.
The average soundings/depth inshore is 4 metres closing to 2 metres in places.
Given that current Australian Armidale-class Patrol Boats draws 2.7 metres, there is almost no chance that a large Chinese or other national ocean-going war ship could use this base unless of a shallow draught multi-hull design.
I reserve my judgment about all being written on this matter.
The very long airstrip in relatively close proximity is an entirely different matter though.
