Liaoning is homeported at Qingdao.
CV-16 is not assigned to a single fleet though ? It's shared between all branches ?

It's 4x, two fore and two aft.
But don't expect any upgrades to PJ12/11 or HQ-10 during peacetime. It's already eyebrow-raising that the PLAN saw fit to devote funding to arm an AOE with CIWS, albeit a cheap version, when none of the AORs got CIWS.
According to Henry K. they originally intended to use 730s and an HQ-10 but this was reduced to save money.

Why would 965 go to NSF?
SSF would be the obvious choice
Yes but SSF to Zhanjiang logicaly which host all SSF Repl Ships remains interesting toward Indian Ocean etc...Liaoning is homeported at Qingdao.
The massive stacks are always a good indicator of GTs underneath, as they both suck up and expel far larger volumes of air and smoke compared to diesels. A perfect example is the CODOG setup on the 052C/D class. You can tell the difference immediately:Can we tell if the power plants are four gas-turbines from the pictures?
I can't, although logic dictates it must be.
