why a comedy ? .... China is not at war and not in hurry, it'd be better to delay a bit to make sure everything is in order and good shape and working perfectly. 1-3 months delay is normal, even 1 year is not uncommon ... not a big deal

If a delay from May to June in the same year is comedy....

What you'd call those delays seen in the not-to-be-named-neighbouring country?

Broadway?

How long do you suppose PLAN will keep the Yagi antennas? Anything better available to it?
I was just going to say...until they get something better. LOL!

Does China have something better in the wings? Well, we keep watching the Test Ship(s) to see if something appears...or is tested elsewhere.

They are useful as a stand alone array for anti stealth, but I'm not sure if it serves a major purpose. Personally I wonder if the ship can still perform 99% of its functions even without the Yagi antenna.

I read that the yagi is used for volume search on occasions when they don't need the PAR powered on and/or in addition to it. Also read that the PAR is not kept on all the time but not sure how valid these points are.
