The thread on
"The Ural: Her fate in T2K" led me to think of where the Chinese might have used their nuclear weapons effectively.
I know that canon presents Chinese nuclear response as being for the most part ineffective, but the possibility of a strike on Soviet ports led me to think if there were any cases where Chinese might have been effective.
When trying to think of how the Chinese might be able to handle the ship, my mind went to the possibility demo charges being delivered by naval special forces. Replacing that with a nuke does not seem like a stretch (with the exception of the chaos presented within Chinese command after the nukes start).
Anyone have any thoughts?
