CV-17 Shandong - Type 002 Aircraft Carrier News & Discussions

[samsara]

Following article is talking about the flight history of the carrier-borne jet fighter J-15 onboard China's first aircraft carrier, CV-16 Liaoning, seven years ago, and nowadays…

And the 2nd aircraft carrier is having its (pennant) numbers being painted in the military port in Hainan, so admission into navy is coming pretty soon.

I don't think so, at leat not yet and as long as no more J-15s are being built.

Even if barely visible due to the low quality of these two images, there is at least something going on with the Type 002 carrier at Sanya: flags, the crew lining up on flight deck ... not sure if the true commissioning ceremony or just a rehearsal?

Nowadays the quality of news is horrific. Anyone can spin up a story just by referring to some "military insiders". Even I could qualify as a military insider (I grew up in an actual military base).

Type 001: In service
Type 001A: Soon to be in service
Type 002: Under construction
Type 002: Could be started as early as 2021
Nuclear 003: No date yet

Not too different than what SCMP stated a year ago from the same author.

But why not?

Following the latest rumours, the hand-over of the Type 002 aircraft carrier to the PLAN and commissioning to service will be on 6th December.
