The model group could use another submarine in my opinion. Following the US doctrine for CSGs.

連三年南下…遼寧艦移訓 穿越台灣海峽
2018-01-05 00:00聯合報 記者／台北報導
昨天傍晚宣布，海軍遼寧號航艦，在護航艦隻伴隨下，正由駐地青島南下，已經通過浙江舟山海域，而據證實，並未進行繞台，深夜直接穿越台灣海峽而過，前往艦隊轄區進行移地訓練，預期將進行跨區長航。這將是遼寧艦連續第三年南下。
軍方官員透露，中共東海艦隊的兩艘「〇五二Ｃ」型驅逐艦「鄭州」與「濟南」號，日前就由舟山定海的母港出發，北上青島與遼寧艦會合。北海艦隊也派出三艘以上的艦隻，從一月二日開始，就在青島東南方外海公告禁航區，實施「重大軍事活動」，禁止船隻進入操演海域。
遼寧艦於二〇一二年成軍之後，就以青島古鎮口軍港為駐地，主要在黃海、渤海水域活動。在這次之前，包括二〇一三年十一月、二〇一六年十二月，以及二〇一七年七月，曾經南下前往南海艦隊，進行跨區長航訓練。
海南島三亞的榆林軍港，建有與古鎮口一樣的航艦專用碼頭。遼寧艦先前第一次南下，為期卅七天；後面兩次均不到半個月。
過去三次遼寧艦跨區長航的六趟往返路徑中，二〇一六年十二月底南下時，係經宮古海峽繞經台灣東方海域，再由巴士海峽進入南海。當時國安局長周美伍在立院表示，遼寧艦編隊並未進入我方防空識別區範圍，距離最近時為廿海里。
除此之外，另外五趟都是由台灣以西通過。
昨傍晚各方一度研判遼寧艦將穿越宮古海峽，循台灣東部海域南下，進行繞台航行，但到深夜，軍方相關人士證實，遼寧艦直穿海峽中線以西的水道，並未繞台。

This is a surprise
Chinese carrier spotted in waters near Taiwan again
This is the third time that the Liaoning has been seen in the seas near Taiwan, but it did not circle the island - as it did in late 2016

Chinese aircraft carrier the Liaoning had a surprising run along the Taiwan Strait late on Thursday night, Taiwan’s defense officials said, noting that the warship skimmed off the center line of the strait while en route to Guangdong for R&R – rest and recreation – for its crew before further drills in the South China Sea.
The carrier sailed from its home port of Qingdao in northern China’s Shandong province at noon on Thursday, following a large exercise right after the New Year that involved other combat ships, including at least two 052C-class guided-missile destroyers.
Taiwan rushed to scramble reconnaissance planes to monitor the Liaoning at dusk yesterday, bracing for any potential emergency that could arise from the approaching Chinese carrier.
It was feared that the 61,000-ton vessel, and its squadron of J-15 shipborne fighters, would cut across the Miyako Strait northeast of Taiwan and head south by the island’s east coast, before looping round the island’s southern sea border to flaunt the prowess of the Chinese military to contain and recapture the breakaway province – as it did a little over a year ago.

But that didn’t happen. Taiwan heaved a sigh of relief as the Liaoningpassed through the Taiwan Strait, a waterway that is 130 kilometers wide at its narrowest, following a route west of the center line between the mainland and the island.
Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said any ships that veer past the center line and enter Taiwan’s territorial waters will be monitored and intercepted if they fail to comply with warnings against the incursion.
Meanwhile, Chinese deputy foreign minister Liu Zhenmin said in a conference on Friday that the Taiwan Strait belongs to both sides and that the Liaoning’s passage didn’t represent any change to Beijing’s policies.

The last time the Liaoning was seen in the Strait was last July when a strike group with a frigate and two destroyers cruised north, after attending celebrations to mark the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong’s handover to China.
J-15 fighters reportedly had multiple takeoffs from the carrier while in the sensitive waters.
Taiwan lodged a complaint, which Beijing dismissed, that the strike group penetrated its sea defense zone.
The Liaoning’s maiden blue-water journey on Christmas Eve in 2016, after years’ of retrofitting by the Chinese military, culminated in a high-profile voyage around Taiwan that unnerved citizens on the island.

I wonder if Type 901 tanker is in the strike package
I really hope they send the carrier into Indian Ocean
Maybe that’s the job of CV-17
