You should let the forum bet about it.
For a special title or something haha.

I guess around 16 to 26 Januari.
Painted and floated.

And then show it to the nation on Chinese new years day.

Haha, I think it'll be launched soon enough. First quarter of this year, most probably. So everything's good.

What is the chance that 002 will come right after her?

Nobody knows, because the first Type-002-carrier gets his own from Type-001A independent production line.

China is establishing two production lines for aircraft carriers. That meens twice as much carriers per given time compared to the United States.

She's looking good. March or so for a launch is what I am figuring.

Maybe a little later or a little sooner.

View attachment 35030 .

At this stage it looks like sooner then later.

Chinese new year is at 28 JAN 2017, that is 4½ weeks from now. The schedule was launch by the end of 2016.
