Re: Latest Varyag Pics
Either way, it is a nice shot of the entire carrier from the aft side after it came out of dry dock painted in the PLAN colors.
Here's a full aft shot that I had not seen yet. It looks older than the shots showing the non-skid primer, because I do not see it on there yet...althoug, it could concievably be a shot after the primer was painted over, which woul;d make it fairly new.swimmerXC said:

Re: Latest Varyag Pics
Yes, that's it. I have fixed the post now and it should show up (dang fumble finger tyos!). Anyhow, I believe it is a shot before the zinc chromate primer...but it is still a good shot of the aft end of the thing, and it is relatively new.bd popeye said:
Re: All About The Chinese Carrier
That looks to me to be the same basic time frame as the aft shot I posted in post number 650. I am still not sure whether these pictures are before or after the earlier pics on this thread where we saw the non-skid primer, the zinc chromate. Any ideas?supertran said:
Re: Latest Varyag Pics
Thank you...that's a good comparison and I agree. There seems to have been quite a bit of work on the deck throughout this year, including laying down the zinc Chromate non-skid surface primer and then covering it and then another new coat of paint all the way up the ski jump. I am still waiting to see that Island painted and then start seeing some instrumentation, antennae, etc. placed on the island. I believe, ultimately that is coming.Sczepan said:

I wonder, that the yard didn't paint the Island the same time as the hull - it makes sense, when they have to prepar the installations of antennas before painting, which is the normal succesion as we have seen by the new DDGs.
didn't they will make the installation of antennas etc. before painting?Jeff Head said:
