Unconfirmed news says CV Liaoning task force postpone the visit to Hongkong, en route to Triton Island instead.

LOL Stan Saim/Stamet = USS Stethem

I think this is the first time CV-16 opens to civilians (and rumors had it that J-20 is going too.).

What? You didn't get me one?

 

[schenkus]

Why are so many planes so far forward?

I guess that when multiple planes return to the carrier at the same time, parking the planes in front is fastest and you would respot the planes further back later.

Well well... The Chinese Carrier group is looking pretty neat. I bet they're getting the hang of carrier operations quite rapidly, judging by the tempo of their excercises. Those J-15's sure are huge. I think the J-15 is the largest carrier fighter in the world...??

When I first saw the J-15 I notice also how large it is. The USN had an aircraft almost the same size. Usually there were only 4-5 "Viggies" assigned to an air wing.

Damn that thing is huge! I bet she has to stay on top of the deck all the time? She is a pretty bird though.

I think this is the first time CV-16 opens to civilians (and rumors had it that J-20 is going too.).

There's no J-20 aboard CV-16..

I saw photos on sina of very long que's with folks standing in line to get tickets to see CV-16.

Hundreds of people were left disappointed on Monday as they failed to get tickets to go on China's first aircraft carrier this weekend.

Only 2,000 tickets were being given out openly to members of the public for the rare chance to board the Liaoning warship.

The ship is making a stop in Hong Kong over the weekend as part of China's celebrations to mark the 20th anniversary of the handover. It’s the first time the warship will be admitting civilians on board.

Long lines formed overnight at three specified locations at which the free tickets were being issued.

But in the morning, hours before the tickets were due to be handed out, organisers decided to thin out the crowd by giving out queue numbers – so that they can come back later in the afternoon to queue again for their tickets.

This caused confusion among some people who were lining up at the army's headquarters in Central. Some complained about the ad hoc arrangement, but the crowd remained orderly.

But those who made it through, though, were overjoyed. “I very so happy”, one man said after receiving his queue number.

The warship is open only to permanent residents in Hong Kong aged above 11. Because there's a need to climb up the deck, pregnant women and physically disabled people are also not invited.

Aboard JFK there was never more than one Viggie in the hangar.
