The 2nd Chinese aircraft carrier, on July 19, in Dalian. I have never been so close to the two Chinese carriers at once.

Thanks. Nice pics.

Lots of outfitting going on...and still to be done.

The island is looking good and you can clearly see the amount of room they added for deck, flight, and ship operation control. Lots more room there.

Maybe a stupid question and not entirely correct here, but does the PLAN also "Coat of Arms" emblem similar to other Navies ??

lol, there won't be any combined photo ops until CV-17 will enter the PLAN register unfortunately. But there should be plenty after that I mean photos, not accasions. I assume that both carriers will be pretty busy with their own stuff and won't have too much time for amicable visting each other. But once, twice a year it can happen.

Liaoning needs a shipyard stay when Type 001A is put into service.
