CV-16 and 88

CV-17 and 89

Accommodating ship ensures fast and efficient sea trials

The carrier will not have to come back to port every day and crews can stay out longer

I am actually surprised they built new accommodation ship 88 was still there

Just shows how serious they are

Please do a photo op with dual carriers CV-16 and CV-17 !!

Exactly...which results in the necessities that I talked about.

For this older design it is not plug and play as they have become today.

Remember, the basic design is 30+ years old...and the Chinese did not make that many changes in the first indigenous vessel...a few nice upgrades, but not really ekletronically as modernized.

Now, I expect the new CATOBAR designs to be modernized since they will be all new designs and will incorporate all they have learned more recenlty.

A shipdesign from 30 y/o can still have plug and play radars.
Those par plates are modern and probaly the computers and the commando centre aswell.

I dont think they have fitted pcs from 1980 in that ship...

Accommodation ship has arrived meaning CV-17's sea trials are imminent.

Note this is the new accommodation ship, not the Liaoning's one.

Getting closer and closer to her getting underway. The 2nd Chinese PLAN Aircraft carrier is about to get underway and start slitting the waves.

Very few countries can say that they have had two large, fleet sized carriers completed and operational...China is about to be one of them.

Then they will have three and then four...joining a smaller and smaller club.

By the time they get up to six large fleet sized carriers they will be only the 4th country in history to do that...and only the second in the modern era to do so...say since 1960.

In the World War II era, the US, Japan, and the UK had that many. After the war, by 1960 that had whittled down to only the US having so many.

Congrats to the PLAN on an upcoming significant achievement...one that will be followed by several more I am sure.
