Just a quick translation. Green vest+white helmet/Yellow vest+yellow helmet=take off. Green vest+green helmet=arresting. Yellow vest/blue vest+blue helmet=logistics/arrangement (not too sure about the carrier specific term for this, but basically it means "arranging and transporting", so I guess they would be in charge of moving the J15s and ammunition around on the deck). White vest+white helmet= safety.

Popeye, they won't be trying to do anything new because it would only take considerable amount of time before reinventing the wheel again and coming to the same conclusions that US Navy had come to throught decades. They aim for US Navy and JMSDF when it comes to work standards aboard the ships. There's nothing wrong with that and those are probably best copybooks in the world. Good for them.
First hanger module Oct 18th, and this is said to be 10th one. So about one module per week. But the first a couple was slower than that and the speed now is faster.
Would be interesting to see how it looks like in March.
Right on, and where have you been, or have I just been missing you, glad to see your post Bub.

Wow! Look at how much progress PRC has made in stealth carriers! What kind of new technology can disrupt other electromagnetic waves like that?

Here is the answer to your question:
The yard was built first to help rebuild Liaoning, second to build further flattops. With that it is the newest and most modern flattop yard in the World.
I wonder how fast the Shanghai yard will produce flattops and how many PLAN wants to see build by 2030. Do they plan to export them? Brazil?
I imagine the island is being built somewhere in a hanger as I am typing. At this rate, we may be abled to see the island installed in the first half of 2016.

JMSDF does NOT even have fixed wing aircraft on their flat tops.
