The proof... National Interest is not also bad as some here think...

Depend on the author Lyle Goldstein is one of the better analyst He is professor at some Naval school and he is fluent in Mandarin. His source is mainly Chinese defense periodical like Modern ship etc and Chinese research paper. So yeah He is credible But nor Dave Majumdar He never research his paper
JIN-class nuclear ballistic submarine, as I know
as I sad before - CV 001 escortet the SSBN
Also that - the carrier escorting the SSBN - doesn't make sense for me!
A SSBN want to stay undetected.... it doesn't want a large eye catcher like a carrier in her neck!
May be they made some formation exercises together but I'm almost sure that the SSBN was not part of the Carrier Escort Group nor was the Carrier any kind of Escort for the SSBN...
Just my 2 cent...

Actually a nuclear sub escorting a carrier group is standard. Its a major part of the ASW setup of a carrier battle group.
Now that we have seen the escort for the Liaoning the only thing remaining is night ops. Hopefully we will see it soon!
And when will the Chinese media give us a 50 min. documentary on the Liaoning instead of these 3 - 4 min snippet reports ?
Hi Xian
By allowing the SSBN to transit in plain sight to a place of suitable departure is in fact quite clever....it basically shows that the PLAN will ensure that a SSBN can be delivered to the Pacific whether in plain sight or covertly..but with the escort of a CBG and simply disappear in what ever direction its mission is dedicated to. In the mean time a full surface force can train in ASW chasing any tails and ensuring a clean get away for the SSBN. I would not be surprised if a couple of plan SSNs were a day ahead or so, listening and clearing route.
Basically this understood as a simple training exercise which makes no sense as the two units have no reason to be near each other...or a show of willingness for PLAN SSBNs to get safely to their AOOs
Of course just my thoughts

Was this a recent clip, do you have the source on it at all? I agree it's very strange to see a SSBN with a carrier group, would love to see the context video
