Better yet, hope to see a whole lot of brand spanking new J-15s on the flight deck!
... OR even still better if we get photos of the twin seated J-15S joining the carrier trial!

What is BRW?
PE or Kwag. What are those pylon looking things on the sides of a carriers flight deck and what are they used for.

Re: PLAN Carrier Construction
what pylons on the flight deck? there are no pylon the flight deck.
Are you talking about these?
If so they are call whip antennas.. mainly for MF and HF radio transmissions. They are lowered during flight operations for obvious reasons!!!

I believe so.

...and some more seen in the same location on the ski-jump in this picture in some heavier swells.
...and here in calmer seas.
Well, I do not want to speak for BIB, but some of the posters on the PLAN Carrier thread asked about these markers on the ski jump. You can see the one raised there forward of and to the left of the firefighting equipment, and then several there on the starboard side of the ski-jump.

Re: PLAN Carrier Construction
I would still like to know what purpose those small raised sqaaure like items are.
Oh I see, you are talking about the horizontal support right on the starboard bow. That does not raise. It may fold back against the hull, though I have not seen it in that position. If holds some sensors, lights, cameras, and other equipment out from the bow there.

Re: PLAN Carrier Construction
Jeff, I believe those look like illuminators probably for practice landing takeoff or some sort of a visual guide for the pilots etc. I'm 99% sure they are not part of the deck... and was manually placed there.
As to the 'pylon' question by B.I.B I think I know what you're talking about now. It's probably just run of the mill type sensors, wind gauge, barometric sensors , radio antennas etc. Call it the pitot tube for Liaoning LOL
Nothing exotic of top secret there.
