PROJECT INFORMATION | With the recent acquisition of six hundred Osa II-class missile boats, the Chinese navy has had difficulties finding docking space for them all. To find a solution to this problem, the Chinese government has agreed to fund a infrastructure project to build a total of six bunkers connected to the China Seas to give the boats enough room to dock and allow them to patrol the surrounding waters and enable them to use the bunkers for refueling and resupply in the case of war or conflict. All bases would be built relatively far away from any settlement and would well concealed under mountains to avoid detection from the air or from satellites, the waters nearby would also be patrolled by the Chinese Coast Guard to assure that no ships or civilian comes close to the bunkers. On land, fences would be built around the bunkers with soldiers patrolling and assuring no trespassers. Above land there would be enough accommodations for all the missile boat operatives along with signal operators and officers along with the patrolling guards. There would also be one access to each of the bunkers from the surface. Within each bunkers themselves: enough space for a hundred missile boats to moor along side two docks (fifty boats each), equipment to perform mechanical and maintenance on the boats and the bunkers themselves, each bunker would be reinforced to resist bombardment, generators to power the bunkers and the base above in the case that the electricity is severed, each pair of bunkers would have a tunnel connecting them to allow the boats to switch between the bunkers in the case one exit is blocked, and lastly there would be storage for supplies and ammunition. There would be a total of six bunkers built in three locations. The first two on Daishan Island (30°20'05.5"N 122°13'05.1"E and 30°20'05.9"N 122°13'01.1"E), named Daishan Base. The third and fourth near the Laotie Nature Reserve (38°43'22.6"N 121°09'37.5"E and 38°43'21.1"N 121°09'51.1"E), named Laotie Base. The final two on Hainan Island (18°17'52.4"N 109°14'43.2"E and 18°17'52.0"N 109°14'39.8"E), named Tianya Base. |
