Is this a concern? Any thoughts?

It's a concern only to those (@li450274625) who believe Fujian is nuclear powered. Clean it off, and it's good as new.

Still tho, if the entire upper part of the island gets a coat of bunker oil soot every time she sails it is probably incredibly annoying to her sailers who have to clean her up. I wonder if switching to marine diesel like USN did would alleviate this. The 956 and 956EMs already switched to burning diesel iirc.

I would say this clearly looks like landing - at least touch & go - markings on deck!

It does look like middle catapult saw some use.

It is a poor design. Why can't they just paint it black

After after 2 weeks, it is messed up again. So most of the time it will looks silly. It may not prevent the ship function correctly. But it just looks silly

Strange, I thought you liked black because it's a slimming color that makes fat people look thinner. Then again, I'm not familiar with the latest trends in twink and or emo fashion.
