CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread

[valysre]

Fujian looks to be stationary. What tests may be taking place onboard a stationary vessel?
I have heard that the Gerald R. Ford had issues with internal plumbing systems before entering active service. Maybe PLAN is verifying the function of the urinals?

Stop self-projecting.

The second paragraph was a (admittedly poor) joke to try and start a conversation. I can give headers and footers to all of my jokes in the future. Did you really think anyone would challenge of all things the plumbing onboard Fujian?

Good it was a joke, but I would appreciate it if you have put a emoji when joking, it isn't so easy to get a joke from new member who hasn't demonstrated his/her posting style.

Yes, staunchy anti-China fanboys, such as the recent "rocket filled with water", "Fujian's deck cracks" or "Xi Jinping got couped". We do get this kind of rubbish thrown in this forum, not as jokes.

I understand this, I'll delineate jokes more clearly in the future.

But in all seriousness, what might the Fujian be doing? The first two trials seemed to revolve around propulsion and maximum speed testing. And there does not occur to me any reason why Fujian is not being kept in a state of movement during any test. Are anchoring tests a thing? Time to full stop?

There are many reasons why Fujian is in a stationery tests. The ship will go through thousands of tests before it could be accepted by PLAN.

Also, you cannot affirm that Fujian is not moving based on a less than perfectly clear photo. You can't see the wake if it was moving at 5 knots or less.

Not exactly Fujian, but related.

The troopship which have accompanied Fujian throughout her fitting out stage, Lidaoyuan with hull #89, has finally left Jiangnan.

Fujian currently located around 90 km southeast of Dalian.

Fujian continues her 3rd sea trial southeast of Dalian - But this time, there appears to be an airborne object moving a short distance behind the ship (circled in the 2nd photograph).

For landing it's way off the path. Could be a helicopter.
