I'm not NCD certified but those aren't warships. The big one in the back has seven stacks?! Easy to defeat with even WWII munitions.

One can imagine that chinese leaders can hand wave away whatever number of casualties it has to withstand in order to get at least one or two of these docked and offloading.
