[asif iqbal]

So it’s back after 4th trial ?

 

[Sczepan]

BEautiful ship:

...

ut I am surprised there is still no pennant number...and that we have not seen aircraft starting to practise on her.

Time will bring it all.

its the 4th yard trial - hull number will become with commission by PLAN; at least we could have first "touch and go" at this trial (before commissioning, which will be in spring 2019) as I think

Is it "Official" that CV-17 is named Shandong? If so what is the source? Thank you.

 

[Intrepid]

Is it "Official" that CV-17 is named Shandong?

No, it isn't official.

 

[Sczepan]

I suspect the name, because Liaoning (Dalian) is the coastal province where 001 was finished, and Shandong is the next province, where 001 is based and the first chinese Carrier base is … next could be Hainan

 

[Intrepid]

So far, the ship has no name and no pennant number, only the pre-commissioning designation "002".

 

[Sczepan]

yes, wo only know for sure, that it is the second carrier vessel of PLAN

 

[Intrepid]

yes, wo only know for sure, that it is the second carrier vessel of PLAN ...

... and its designation "002". Liaoning had the designation "001" before commisioning.

 

[asif iqbal]

I would still like to see more photos of Type 901 tanker alongside the carrier

not enough carrier replenishment photos

 

[Sczepan]

there is no big need for carrier replenishment on sea - the chinese carrier's today are used within the first island's, not in real blue water

中国首艘国产航母现已做好海上试航准备。这艘航母强有力地表明了中国军队走向现代化以及北京有志于成为自立自强的一流强国。据美国《新闻周刊》网站3月28日报道，这艘航母是2017年4月26日在中国北方港口大连下水的，型号为001A。据中国媒体报道，来自造船厂的最新照片显示，航母上的脚手架已拆除，相控阵雷达已安装完毕。目前001A型航母试航的确切日期尚未公布，也许军方在考虑中国海军建军节，即4月23日。而且，今年将是中国海军建军69周年。

and other news papers also call it "Type 001 A"
