CV-17 really nice ship
Along with CV-16 between them 48 x J15 over area far from home good fire power
I would like to see this transit the Suez Canal into Mediterranean followed by Type 055 and Type 901

Here is the article. As I said before they have converted all the drawing into 3 D CAD I believe we will see builder trial before the end of the year
End of April This year, the construction of the second Chinese aircraft carrier is progressing at a good pace and, according to its program director, is even ahead of schedule.
The information was revealed in an interview with national television CCTV.
Construction of the 2nd Chinese carrier is ahead
HU Wen Ming (胡 问 鸣), also CEO of the Chinese naval group CSIC, which owns the Dalian shipyard where the new aircraft carrier is under construction, says propulsion system tests are currently underway. The first and third boilers are already on, and the steam turbines will soon follow.
Dockside testing, one of the major milestones in the project where the Chinese aircraft carrier will operate on its own generators, could start within the next month.
"It's earlier than we anticipated," says HU.

Once these dockside tests were completed, the aircraft carrier, whose names we do not know yet, will follow on its sea trials, where the compatibility of the ship with its air groups and the weapon systems will be tested and evaluated .
For the time being, no date of delivery of the ship to the Chinese navy is officially communicated, but we believe that it is in the second half of 2019 that the active service of the 2nd Chinese carrier could take place.
A fruit of civil-military integration and 100% Chinese
In addition to the progress of the project, the program director also revealed further details on the construction of the 2nd Chinese aircraft carrier.
For example, at the peak of the work, more than 5,000 technicians and engineers worked simultaneously on board the ship.
These men and women come from 532 different Chinese companies, of which 412 are not from the defense sector. The aircraft carrier's project not only accelerated the transfer of technology from military to civilian companies, enabling them to upgrade their range and capacity, but above all reinforced the level of civil-military integration of Chinese companies for other major projects ahead.

Studies of the flow of the aircraft carrier according to the roll level of the ship.
Adding to this, HU indicates that all Tier-1 components and materials are designed and manufactured in China, demonstrating the country's full capacity to launch and carry out this type of project in a fully autonomous manner.
After the transformation of the former Soviet aircraft carrier Varyag into 16 Liaoning , and the construction of a new aircraft carrier of local design, the CEO of CSIC believes that Chinese manufacturers are now able to design and build ' Any type of aircraft carrier, thanks to the skills acquired so far and the pre-studies launched 20 years ago.
"The team is now mature, with the average age of 36 years," said the project's number one.
China is actually planning to build at least a 3rd aircraft carrier, this time CATOBAR but still with conventional propulsion.
.
The Jiangnan Changxing Shipyard in Shanghai is also in the process of expanding its buildings if the cutting of the first sheet has not already taken place.
This 3rd aircraft carrier could join the Chinese Navy by 2022 to 2023, according to our current estimate.
To be continued,

They now said CV17 will be delivered in 2018
China’s first home-grown aircraft carrier, the Type 001A, is likely to join the navy of the People’s Liberation Army by late next year, earlier than scheduled, analysts said.
The earlier-than-expected start to the carrier’s service marks a key acceleration of China’s effort to build up a blue-water navy to secure the country’s key maritime trade routes and to challenge the US’s dominant position in the Asia-Pacific region, especially in the South China Sea and the East China Sea.
China has one aircraft carrier in operation now - the Liaoning, which went into commission in 2012.
The 300-metre ship was refurbished from the unfinished Soviet carrier Varyag, which China bought from Ukraine in 1998. China’s first home-grown carrier, launched on April 26, and naval experts previously expected the ship would join the Chinese navy only by 2020.
However, two military sources told the South China Morning Post the navy had expected the Type 001A would be delivered to them as early as the end of 2018, or by 2019.
Hu Wenming, general manager of the Type 001A project, told China’s state television that the carrier’s propulsion system, namely the engine part, underwent tests, and the results were all good.
“Steam turbines of [the carrier] will all start to formally enter the mooring test phase, which will be ahead of our schedule in overall progress,” Hu said on state television on Thursday. The testing is a key and necessary step before the carrier is put into service.
Early pictures posted on the internet by military enthusiasts showed runway track lines were printed on the deck of the Type 001, while scaffolding outside the control tower was dismantled. These images hinted that equipment installation work on the carrier was almost completed - another sign that the carrier is close to being ready for service.
“Before we deliver the ship [to the navy], we also need to do a variety of systematic tests [at] sea, including matching tests of carrier-based aircraft, weapon systems and others,” Hu said.
Beijing-based naval expert Li Jie said the sea tests will cover electronic equipment, self-navigation, the radar system and the resilience of the propulsion system, as well as power network operation between different electronic and weapon system.
“The navy will also do a string of sea trials once it takes over the ship, which will also take several months,” Li said. “Normally, a carrier needs at least two years of different tests after its launch.”
Unlike its sister ship, the Liaoning, which was refitted based on the hull of a Russian carrier and uses the original Russian-designed propulsion system, the Type 001A is powered by eight home-made steam turbines with a displacement of up to 70,000 tonnes.
The Type 001A was produced by state-owned Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Offshore Company in Liaoning province, which also spent more than eight years to refurnish the Liaoning.
Based on the research and development experiences of the Liaoning, Hu said the design of the Type 001A will be more advanced than that of its sister ship. At the most intense period of ship building, Hu said more than 5,000 people from across the country were hired for the project. In addition, 532 state-owned or private scientific research units and their academics took part in producing ancillary facilities. More than 40 companies came from non-military sectors, reflecting Beijing’s push to integrate military and civilian development.
Li, the naval expert, said the 001A’s design would include technological breakthroughs in its missile and radar systems and hangar deck, reflecting the results of a decade of experience in rebuilding Liaoning.

My five favorite pics of CV-17 so far.
You can be sure that there will be future, much more impressive shots once she goes to see with her weapons...and then her air wing. We will see that type of thing when she goes into builders and then naval trials leading up to her handover.
But for now...these say all that needs to be said.
