Not quite sure what's going on right now. Whatever the case, it *looks like* trials are supposed to start today, but she's not left her berth for whatever reason. All the prep work definitely seems to be in place, and the media crew is there. Not sure what it is they're waiting for.
11:09, tugs are re-positioning.
11:16, cranes are being removed, but unsure if this refers to the cranes on deck or on the docks.
11:47, firecrackers are being set off (unsure if literal or figurative), seemingly preparing for departure.

"Yesterday afternoon [22 April], our guest commentator 王云飞 from《凤凰军机处》notified us: On April 23 Navy Day, the first domestically-built carrier will begin sea trials."
