Jep, thats right

>but why?

Because we can. And it shows, that we can slap our dick left and right through Russia's face without them being able to do anything against ist.

>Whatcha goin to do, Putin? Nuke us?

oh so NOW you look at RT for info

>Russian inner sphere of influence
...Russia has an outer sphere of influence?

But all US supercarriers are overhauled or built using Chinese gantry cranes.

Hell even the British carriers are assembled by them.

>>34959708
the implication of your post is that we dont know how to build a gantry, or dont have our own steel.

a good deal on a cheap crane is a good deal on a cheap crane.

>using cheap chink shitty cranes to construct key projects vital to America's national and strategic interests

Whatever happened to bringing jobs back into the United States?

Those cranes were likely purchased years ago and still function. When they need replacements they'll buy American. It's not hard to understand.

>Big Blue is a gantry style crane that stands 233 feet tall, and has a span of 540 feet from leg to leg. It weighs 4,600 metric tons (10.1 million pounds). It was built in 1976 by the German company Krupp. The two legs straddle the huge dry-dock at Newport News Shipbuilding, where the first Ford-class aircraft carrier is currently being assembled.

>Taisun (Chinese: 泰山; pinyin: tàishān; Taishan is the name of the biggest mountain of the Shandong province) is the world's strongest crane and has a safe working load of 20,000 metric tons (22,046 short tons).[1] Taisun is designed and built for the installation of very large modules in semi submersibles and FPSO projects and located at Yantai Raffles Shipyard in Yantai, Shandong Province, China. The crane holds the three heaviest lifts of all time: 20,133 metric tons, 17,100 tons and 14,000 tons.

>Woelfel Best Mechanical Engineering Achievement 2008 During the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) 2008, Taisun received the Woelfel Best Mechanical Engineering Achievement Award from American Society of Mechanical Engineers. This award recognizes technologies which are novel; have a significant impact on the offshore industry; meet health, safety, and environmental standards; and are well conceptualized and developed.

So much for German engineering.
