Allegedly they are still going to upgrade the electrical and electronic systems as is. You can do that even if the ship is just berthed to port. Given that they were going to float it out, I would suspect that most of the work on the lower hull and the turbine installation had been completed already by the time of the accident.
So what would remain would be fixing the deck after the accident. Assuming the accident did not cause further internal damage to the structure.
We might still see it available in the next 5 years but I would not bet on it. It might even be mothballed.

I'm happy to see the "Dark Lord!" is pleased! we don't want him squeezing any heads here on SDF!!
QE in Norfolk once more; 200 of her sailors were hosted aboard USS Abraham Lincoln (with whom I coincidentally share a birthday, the man not the carrier!) for Thanksgiving:
RFA Tidespring was there too:
Next they'll be heading back across the pond for Christmas leave.

UK Hails Successful Initial F-35 Carrier Trials
:
"The team also loaded different weapon configurations, both internal and external, making use of the ship’s automated weapons magazine."
could be interesting to see exactly how it works
(LOL "it" = the magazine, not that team)

You'll probably not get the opportunity. The images seen up to this point of the HMWHS when the ship was being built will likely be the last we'll ever see. The RN never publishes pictures or video of operational ships magazines.
Slide 21 on the powerpoint here is as close as we'll get in her service life to see what the magazine and weapons prep areas look like.
The Liaoning has the same Ukrainian built boilers like the Kuznetsov.
By the guy who managed it from Ukraine the propulsion system was in place , they just didn't had the manning/skills to use it .
So, the difference in the smoke more likely contributed to the different oil grade, and due to the face the Liaoning seen less usage since 90s than the Kuznetsov , so the boilers are in better shape.
I like the questions Pres. Trump posed. And the answers given by the CO of Ronald Reagan.
