With the individual number '331' assigned, this Z-18F ASW helicopter on-board the aircraft carrier Liaoning, seems finally to be in operational service.
Also interesting, its c/n is visible ... it's the no. 04

Great helicopter but when you have 1 or 2 and on the process of having three carriers
More like 1+(1)+(1?) at this time.

Still, the number at this time is nowhere near "sufficient". If Z-20F pan out and take up a lion share, Z-18F can be used for long endurance mission profile?
