I requested this since years (at least it feels that way) ... but now let's wait for an official confirmation.

The official news has come out, please follow my #4372 and #4373 messages

We can stop doubting the pennant number now. Wasn't a big surprise anyways.

a suggestion regarding the titles of the threads, if the title is not being changed to "type 002" because of disagreaments between members (?) on the naming then how about we take the middle ground & change the title to "China's first indigenous aircraft carrier CV-17 Shandong", this way wether you think it is "type 001A" or "type 002" or "type one million" everybody will be satistified.

obviously the other one will be changed to "China's second indigenous aircraft carrier CV-18", I believe this would be a good compromise for every member.

First clear images of the Type 002 carrier's commissioning into PLAN service as the number '17' and named as "Shandong".

We have a "CV-16 Liaoning"-thread, so this should be called the "CV-17 Shandong"-Thread.

So it is officially 002 CV17 PLANS Shandong. Are we still going to use the title type 001A....?
