@Deino

Thanks Jura.

Now that is what I am talking about.

2nd Chinese carrier really ready to launch now.

Looking very good...I am excited to see her outfitted and to sea...and then learn more details about some of the differences internally.

And two years ago at about the same month, we had this first photo along with a flood of rumours that this was indeed 001A... and it would end up being almost a year for the most ardent skeptics to acknowledge that it was indeed a carrier.

Look at it now, painting and looking ready to launch.

Lesson -- pay attention to rumours and use critical thinking to get ahead on what's what in PLA watching.

Those were the days, my...my...how much she has grown up in just 2 years! I remember all the doubters and naysayers with their hard headed skeptics and excuses assuming how it can not be a carrier.

I think it's a very interesting story of the watchers of the Chinese Navy REAL buildup (hope you know what I mean, which isn't the official announcements ...) so I, first, congratulate to those involved (personally I didn't pay any attention to this type of watching until perhaps last Fall, had no idea what was it good for ... now I see it can be actually quite rewarding activity LOL assuming the watcher who's been right) and, second, will tell their story in the pub next week

The torpedo protection system was a clear sign that it was the expected carrier.

The torpedo protection system was a clear sign that it was the expected carrier.

there were many indications early on even before we had the first photos of it, to have virtual confirmation that 001A would emerge.

Personally I think it took far too long for some people on this board to come around, as some people have insufficient respect for rumours.

Where did you see pictures of torpedo protection?
