If we watch the 19:00 CCTV news program on 17th, it is clear that 17 is not painted on the island. I am thinking maybe never. Afterall, why should it be on the island? Liaoning still does not have 16 on its island even though it has been sailing for a long time.

As for the ship's name, Cheng said that under naval vessels' naming rules, cruisers, amphibious assault ships and larger vessels are named after Chinese provinces or municipalities. He said the name was decided upon in accordance with the rules and was based on consideration of various factors including applications made by provinces and municipalities.

Has PRC ever operated a cruiser or larger ship class (not counting aircraft carriers)?

LOL this one reminds me... several months ago I was reading some comments on an Indian forum called (Bharat-rakshak), I'm not a member in it & only found out about it because someone on PDF shared it, in any case.. back when satelite pics of the CV-17 doing circles were released the Indians were laughing & mocking the vessel saying the pics are proof that CV-17 has broken down & is now spinning out of control in the middle of the ocean.

The CPC doesn't care about superstition in fact they loath it, but they also reason it doesn't hurt if it contributes to the population's psyche. The 2008 Beijing Olympics opened on the 8th August at 8:08pm !

agree with the good wish part. But superstition and wishing a good symbol is different, opening the Olympic game on 8, 8, 8:08 is like one choose to celebrate marriage on a sunny day, or USN christening CVN 78 under blue sky, IMO.

My marriage was 2.2.2000. Simple reason: not to forget the day. I would not survive. It has nothing to do with superstition. It is a real danger.

I still have nightmares of what happened a few years back when I forgot our anniversary. For that entire week, my wife did not talk to me. I realized something was wrong and asked her if I did anything wrong. She was like "no, you didn't do anything...". And on Sunday, I finally realized that I forgot about our anniversary. And countless begging followed... Then I was banished to the living room couch for a few weeks... Then other unimaginable torture... So lesson learned: never forget important dates with your wife.
