“Dude, where’s our aircraft carrier?”, suggested this mornings South China Morning Post as one of the most likely thoughts to be running through the minds of more than a hundred crew members of the USS Ronald Reagan.

The ship, which was in Hong Kong for a spot of shopping, was supposed to stay until Monday but thundered out of port along with a cruiser, three destroyers and a frigate on Sunday afternoon leaving the men high and dry.

It seems the big swinging dicks in command had decided that Typhoon Fengshen, which had already upended a ferry in the Philippines killing hundreds, was getting too close for comfort so the US fleets fastest carrier upped anchor and fled.

The marooned men, meanwhile, did what any self respecting sailors would do and went to hoist their flags in the Filthy Acre to await further orders.

Times change but a sailors basic needs don’t. The Filthy Acre, or Beermuda Triangle as it is sometimes known, does in fact provide full support for stranded sailors. Beer, women, short-time hotels and all-day breakfasts are all within easy stagger of each other. The district of Wanchai has been providing these services throughout 150 years of British rule to the present day. The only difference now is that the Suzie Wongs come from all over Asia.

Meanwhile Typhoon Fengshen has been downgraded to a severe tropical storm and is expected to be closest to Hong Kong late tonight.
