  1. South Sea Bubble (play)

    South Sea Bubble is a play theatre play by United Kingdom British actor and playwright No l Coward . It was written in 1949 but not performed until 1951. The play was moderately successful but failed to match the popularity of Coward s pre war hits. ref Lesley, pp. 314, 370 and 361 ref ref Lahr, p. 136 ref Background The play is named for the South Sea Bubble , an economic bubble that arose due to speculation in the South Sea Company . Originally written for Gertrude Lawrence under the name of Home and Colonial , her unexpected death meant that she never played it. Coward intended her to take it after her run in The King and I . The play was changed into Island Fling , which opened in 1951 with Claudette Colbert in the lead. It ran for eight performances in Westport, Connecticut , USA. South Sea Bubble itself finally opened in the West End theatre West End under its final title with Vivien Leigh as Sandra, the wife of the governor of the imaginary island of Samolo.

The flagship of the SSF is the AOR AK Nanchang 953 . Initially, the fleet s strength consisted mostly of former Kuomintang ships and personnel, which either defected or were captured by the People s Liberation Army . One of three fleets of the People s Liberation Army Navy , the SSF s duties were to protect the city of Guangzhou and the Pearl River regions, and support the PLA in capturing islands that were still in the hands of the Kuomintang forces. The fleet s development has been slow, because most of China s shipbuilding industry is located on the northern or eastern coasts. In the 1970s the fleet underwent a major buildup, due to conflict in the Paracel Islands and other reefs in the South China Sea . In 1974, the SSF took the Paracel Islands from South Vietnam , which resulted in the sinking of one South Vietnamese frigate while damaging another. The latest incident was in 1988, when a Chinese naval task force engaged Vietnam ese naval forces, sinking one Vietnamese warship and damaging another.
