This is a beautiful hull, she looks sleek and fast, anybody have any idea if she is faster than the Liaoning?? from the quartering view, its not readily apparent how long and lithe she is, but she has a beautiful planform, looks like she will fly....

So Shandong isn't operational yet?

It's been commissioned but it hasn't gone on its first deployment. When that first deployment happens, one can talk about meaningful operational capability. That probably won't happen for another year or two.
