Chinese Destroyer Lhasa
''Lhasa'' (102) is a Type 055 destroyer of the People's Liberation Army Navy. She was commissioned on 7 March 2021. Development and design The People's Liberation Army Navy was interested in a large destroyer from as early as the late-1960s. A development program, code-named "055", initiated in 1976 was cancelled in 1983 after encountering insurmountable technical obstacles from industrial underdevelopment; for example, the required gas turbine power plants could neither be produced domestically, nor imported at acceptable prices. In April 2014, an image emerged of a full-scale mock-up of the Type 055 superstructure - with enclosed integrated mast for radar and other electronics at the Chinese naval electronic testing range in Wuhan.Caldwell et al.: page 4 The Type 055 is expected to undertake expeditionary missions and form the primary escort for Chinese aircraft carriers.

Lhasa Apso
The Lhasa Apso ( ) is a non-sporting dog breed originating in Tibet. It has traditionally been used as an interior sentinel. Etymology Lhasa is the capital city of Tibet, and ''apso'' is a word from the Tibetan language. There is some debate over the exact origin of the name; some claim that the word "apso" is an anglicized form of the Tibetan word for goatee ("ag-tshom", ཨག་ཚོམ་) or perhaps "ra-pho" (ར་ཕོ་) meaning "billy goat". It may also be a compound noun meaning "bark-guard" (lit. "ap" ½¨à½” to bark, and "so" ½¦à½¼à¼‹ to guard). History The Lhasa Apso originated in Tibet. In the early twentieth century some Tibetan dogs were brought to the United Kingdom by military men returning from the Indian subcontinent. These were of mixed types, similar either to what would become the Lhasa Apso or to what would become the Tibetan Terrier; they were collectively known as "Lhasa Terrier". The original American pair of Lhasas was a gift from Thubten ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
