Re: PLAN Pictures Thread 4
I just don't see any progress being made on this ship in the last 18 months or so. In particular the island(tower) looks like it did over two years ago..I'm beginning to wonder if the PLAN really intends to put this ship in comission.
Just my opinion.
I made the pics larger for everyone and left the thumbnails in case the members can't see the full size pics.

The 168 is heading to of all places Japan to pay that country a visit.
As a former USN sailor I must say the PLAN sailors always look "squared away" when manning the rail. Outstanding. Among the sharpest sailors I've ever seen. Simply outstanding.

So the visiting tours to Europe or Japan (for example) could mark the highlight of a new age group.
agree - seems to be perfect drilled ... what do you think: is 167 (051B Luhai class) a trainee-ship for 051 C, 052 B and 052 C DDGs - each trained crew will change to the next new build DDGs, so the PLAN have drilled crews to man the new destroyers?

Since the PLAN does not normally send their ships on cyclic(regular) deployments I would say when the send a ship on deployment it's crew is the very best sailors they can muster.
Are those ships training ship? No I feel they are fully operational.

167 is pretty much the ship they send everywhere it seems. They are the ambassadors of PLAN. So, it's not surprising that the sailors on this ship is so well trained for this.
Anyhow, some more photos from Varyag. It still looks the same.

pictures of 022 and 071 from the behind. It's interesting because we don't normally get a look of 022 from this angle.
