Test landing probably won't occur until later next year.
Do you think why they have brought a fuel tanker during the second sea trial?

They could be refuelling helicopters.

The sea trials will still focus on how the carrier handles, but helicopters should begin landing and taking off from the deck in a prelude to tests for fixed-wing aircraft, said Zhang Yao, senior researcher of the Shanghai Institutes for International Studies and an aircraft carrier expert.
"The aircraft carrier will have fighting capacity only after the fighters can land and take off from the carrier," Zhang told Shanghai Daily.
Li Jie, a researcher of the China Navy Military Academy, said the sea trials should involve aircraft flying low over the deck as well as letting their undercarriage touch the deck in preparation for actual landings.
It is more likely a helicopter carrier。Dalian Shipyard: China's first indigenous aircraft carrier???
It is more likely a helicopter carrier。
Or a ship use for paving cable under ocean.
But, frankly, I doubt our own helicopter, Our helicopter is our weakness, even WZ-10 is in service, but as a whole, we maybe wait more than 10 years to change the status quo!!You don't need the ski-jump for a helicopter carrier.
