Japanese building ships in Colombo!

My headline is somewhat misleading, as Japanese banks will just provide 80% of the loan to fund the construction of three patrol craft for the Sri Lanka coast guard. Nice picture of the Colombo dockyard:

The US has a Special Operations Base in Djibouti. Among other things this is where most of the attacks on Al Qaeda in Yemen originate. Saw a report that Djibouti is letting China build a naval base not far away.

It is often said in this forum that "I learn something new everyday". I'm having the opposite problem, forgetting something old everyday.

Yeah, I remember the times when we didn't worry about being PC.

That photo would stir up a sh******* today.

Oh, let's go ahead and stir something up. I'm pretty sure that's an alligator. Anybody ready to call it a crocodile?

Snout looks pointed and v-shaped, which is more consistent with a crocodile. But it's hard to tell from this angle.

There's a third choice, too: cayman.

I try not to agree with you any more than I have to. Snout is round and dorsal spines on tail are more laterally located and smaller than a crocodile. It's a 'gator.

What would that Southern girl be doing with a cayman? They teach them better than that down there.

I remember the old days when we could hitch up a team of twenty 'gators to pull a wagon of borax all the way to Kansas City. You young whippersnappers don't remember those days. We had it hard.
