All evidence so far has pointed towards a launch in 2017 Q1, so I think a launch in mid-2017 would be out of the question. Hence, I'd pick option 1: The 001A will be launched when the hull is painted and most everything is shipshape.

My pleasure. It is always good to help and learn from each other. That's how people learn the world.Thanks for the enlightenment, I am not Chinese educated
過年 is a term used all over China regardless geography. As you may know it literarily mean "pass the year".
See mother russia's ships
Just because the lifts are on the ships doe not mean they are close to being ready to launch.
There is a loot of wiring both routing and termination to be done, and then circuitry testing once it is all together.
I have indicated numerous times that I believe end of 1st Q or in the 2nd Q as a launch date.
Heck, even if it was at the end of Q2, the PLAN would have accomplished a very phenomenal job in the time frame we are talking about.
They really have no need to rush anything. They are going to do it right and get it out with as few mistakes or errors as possible.

Wiring, routing and all that doesn't need to be done in the drydock. It can and is done at pierside after launch. Drydock is for that big full gantry crane to be used to lift large pieces onto the ship being built. Once those pieces are lifted and welded in place and the waterline paint is applied, there is no further reason to keep the ship in drydock. It gets launched and the rest of the fitting out is done at pierside, and the drydock gets occupied by another ship under construction.
All dutch warships i served on got their wiring done after launch.
Only casco was finished with heavy equipment placed like engines and elevators.
All cabinets that wernt big got shifted in later.
Its useless and very pricy to keep it docked for cables and tables, seating bedding and lighting.

Liaoning is in the water since 19 Mar 2010. Time for the ship to enter the drydock then?
