Its a good thing I didn't join in the jizz fest yesterday.
But is there a possibility that the photo of yesterday is real and this guy is only trolling on social media.

But is there a possibility that the photo of yesterday is real and this guy is only trolling on social media.I think what made us all fall for this CG is that it shows the kind of activity we expected to see by now after seeing all the images about 2 years ago.
It seems to me that after the first rush of videos and images we only got to see "replays" of old exercises and haven't really seen what has been happening on the carrier for the last year or so.
So here is my question: do you think the carrier is doing this kind of exercises (involving ~6 fighters and some helicopters on the flight deck at the same time) and the PLAN just keeps it secret or are they still at a stadium were they only start some prototype jets at a time ?

Man! talk about ups and downs... I came back and saw the "new photos" of seven J-15 on the CV-16 and got so excited and only to find out a couple pages later that it was fake...
About the lack of info/photos of the CV-16. I concur with most of the posters here in that the most likely "hypothesis" would be an increased security compounded with the fact that the CV-16 is out to sea a lot more than before when it was stuck in dry dock for everyone to see. At this point, it would be virtually impossible for the Chinese govn't and PLAN to back out of the carrier program. I mean, let's face it. the Chinese govn't is NOT an 8-year-old boy who thinks he loves baseball, makes his mom and dad buy all the gear and gets bored after playing a couple games. Like any govn't, they gathered as much info as possible and debated and debated and debated until they made their decision. Once the decision was made, they would be full steam ahead. IMHO, they have long passed the point of no return. They have invested too much of everything, time, money, manpower, pride, for them to back out. At this point, the hypothesis of PLAN backing out of the carrier program is as impossible as the hypothesis that the CV-16 has been abducted by the aliens.

We WANTED to believe...so we did.
It is all the more clear now, from this latest, older pic that you have posted that it is in fact a CG pic, done some time ago.
I still believe that the escort mix could have been a warning signal...but, like I said, it was otherwise so well done, and we wanted it to be so...that we ran with it.
Just goes to show you, that even here on SD, with as much expertise as we have...we can still fall prey to mistakes.
Not that this individual event tried to fool us...hehehe...no, we just got a repost of his pic and let our own desires and imagination do the rest.
Hehehe...that's a nice CGI!
I will place that CGI it in a little larger at-sea vista.
One day, we will see the PLAN conducting two carrier operations like this.
I was right but did not know it...
I guess the fan boi's even fooled me..but I was not alone...what a bunch of jerks. What do they hope to prove by this deception?
To be fair...I believe the guy who originally did the pic was upfront about it being a CG pic.
But, these things get posted over and over...and this one ended up being posted weeks...or maybe a couple of months later, with no indication it was CGI...and people just ran with it.
...even your truly.
But, SD, living up to its reputation ferreted it out, and we ar eback in the saddle now.

Yeah but the Hyuga class carrier is not fixed wing aircraft carrier. They have yet to receive any F-35 B to launch from either. Operating aircraft from WW2 is no comparison to today's jet engine type planes and ammunition.

So, what do you think will come first, fully operational PLAN CBG doing missions in ECS, SCS, Western Pacific, or Indian Ocean, or the second coming? I'm beginning to think not even then.
