There was a member who accurately recorded the sea trials on this forum day by day for CV-16 and CV-17 and even did a comparison

I hope we will have that data and it’s not been lost

I am sure someone can find it

This looked like the old photo that appeared two or three months ago... inside the out-fitting basin before the first sea trial.

Edit： confirmed this photo is dated April 2024.

You sure? There was a 052DG parked right in front of the CV's bow in the March photo (quoted below), which is notably absent in the photo which I've posted directly above. There is no J-35 mockup visible in the March photo as well.

The KJ-600 mockup has made it onboard Fujian.

One of the comments claimed that the JL-10J mockup has also been moved onto the carrier, but my eyesight isn't good enough to see it. Anyone?

Also visible is a 052D(G) berthed in front of the carrier.
