The electrical wiring of the 2nd Chinese aircraft carrier is expected to last 3 months. The ship would be completed at around 60% by the end of December 2016.

She looks just like Varyag did when she entered China haha.

But with less rust, and no standing pools of water below decks from being unmaintained and uncovered for 8-9 years.

I am really curious about whether similarity in layout and outward appearance aside, how closely does this ship really follow varyag in detailed design.

You got any belowdeck pictures of varyag with water? You can post them elsewhere or in PM.
I really like seeing old pica pre China.

The second picture reveals, that the underwater hull is already covered with an antifouling and scaffolding is removed. But the upper hull is still in reddish primer. Are they going to put the 17 into water without finishing the coating? That would be a different procedure than with Liaoning.

Are they going to put the 17 into water without finishing the coating?

I think not. The ship will be painted first.

 

[Iron Man]

They will at least finish the painting past the waterline, but not necessarily the flight deck or the island.

I think not. The ship will be painted first.

so they have to rebuild the scaffoldings again or what will be the procedure to apply the coating on the above waterline hull?
