The next big thing would be physical completion of the ship. My guess is the ship can be made ready for sea in a few weeks or months at most of they want. But fully fitting out the ship for operation will take much longer.
She is looking good.CV 001A outfitting. they erect the scaffolding again gone are the flag ,streamer
Soory, I did not mean to get you into any situation with your uncle where he was unhappy.Sent him a wechat message and got reply:
Wha' da heck are you doing? Don't tell my stuff to Americans
Thank him for his years of dedicated work, and let him know it was all meant in a friendly fashion from someone over here who has had similar experiences.
Usually you make trials after you complete the ship for the first crew to test it and find what's still wrong with it. That's why it's called trials after all... You don't go for the trials before you test you engines by the pier.
Hillarious... reminds me of my uncle who absolutely distrust Taiwanese. Apparently, the Japanese forces that invaded Malaya during WWII and massacred civilians were mainly Taiwanese and spoke Fujian just like most Chinese Malayan.Sent him a wechat message and got reply:

Totally no need to worry about it. He just used to talk to youngsters that way.
Not so. Large warships are often sent on sea trials when the hull, engineering and navigation equipment are ready, but before the ship has fully completed her fitting out. That's why warships on sea trials are often seen conspicuously missing major parts of military equipment complement, like radars or guns.
This is because the shipyard is ultimately responsible for making sure the ship is sound and seaworthy, while other groups and contractors are responsible for installation of much of the military equipment. So the shipyard usually finishes and tests the seaworthiness and navigation aspects of the ship, then Hand the ship over to others to complete the miltrary work.
Can't you get a break? A broken record...
Of course a ship on trials isn't finished - if it would it would be comissioned already. That's your point?
A first trial is important because for the first time a warship goes on it's own to the sea. Now you understand why it's a big deal every time? Maybe you haven't noticed Reagan recently... It seems like you don't understand the process of ship's entrance into the navy. No, F-35's won't be taking out from USS Reagan, they won't fire Sea Sparrows during trials. Time for that is after a warship is comissioned to the navy.
And yes - sea trials are BIG DEAL for any shiplover around the world. Maybe not for you but for everyone who's interested, it is!
And yes, you argue all the time for the sake of arguing without any substance.
Not really Malaysian Chinese are a mixed bunch comprising mainly Cantonese and Hokkien which originate from Fujian
