China is reportedly preparing an armada of ferries and civilian vessels for a potential invasion of Taiwan. This move is seen as part of Beijing's escalating pressure campaign against the island nation. Due to a lack of sufficient amphibious landing craft, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) plans to use civilian ships to transport troops and armored vehicles across the Taiwan Strait. Security experts have noted that roll-on roll-off passenger vessels are being earmarked for this purpose. The report comes via The Telegraph.
