No need to apoligize. Really..

We all have spent hours looking at countless pics hoping to discover a new one of the "mystical PLAN CV"....

Someday we will see some new pics..But not today!!!:(

Miggy I don't see any difference with any past pics...What markings on the flight deck are you refering to? I don't really see any. Please point them out. I was hoping to see some type of radar on the island. Oh well....

Re: Latest Varyag Pics

you cant see the markings from this picture. When i originally saw the picutre, it was very blown up. Sinodefence shrunk it for good reason.

heres the big one. If im not mistaken, i see a radar dome on top of the tower. But it remanins to be seen if there is actually any radar under it.

In order to protect sealanes that are vital for China's survival, especially transportation of resources such as fuel and petroleum and trade for economical development, China needs aircraft carrier. If the PLA is serious, they should be able to do it, just like the Atomic and Nuclear Bombs, Satelite and manned spacecraft. China has one of the highest foreign reserves, has the technical knowhow and just need a will to do this. and this is not to be a superpower but to be able to protect sealanes for trade. Even a small country like Thailand has aircraft carrier.

Re: Latest Varyag Pics

You guys see two lumps atop of the bridges and then automaticly thing they are radars?? Hold your horses, my dear friends so far as yuo look them critically, they migth be photoshopped to the pic that has so sloppy resolution that even I could do it....
all the mast are covered by the cranes so I have to raise my hat to migleaders ability to see trough hard steel;)
Sofar there havent been any scaffolds around the bridge, whitout them its pretty hard to do anything.

Yea Golly:confused: we are all seeing things. but honestly It looks diffrent too me.. You are right about that pic. The resolution is poor. Like I said maybe some new pics will slip out of the PRC.

I still don't see the markings on the flight deck Miggy. Usally(and I know the PLAN is not the USN) the flight deck markings are the last thing completed after a major re-fit.

Well, the zinc cromate non-skid coating has been covered over from the earlier picture from, what? March? They have made that progress. Other than that, unless things are going on internally (which we will not see) I too don't see a lot of differences.
