Wait a minute - Wait what? 2nd re-drydocking? (Deemed to be false claim)

Seems like the bow is pointed upstream instead of towards the ocean?

Update - Fujian now fully visible.

Not going for a second drydock.
1) Smoke seem to be coming out of CV18 funnel. If they are going to the drydock. it won't fire up its engine.
2) Ship tracking map I took just 2 minutes ago indicate the group is moving to the open sea.

At 4.20PM movement of the group has stopped. May be they are trying to turn the bow of CV18 around to the river mouth.
