OK. After this, there won't be anything visibly major to be added. Show is over. That is all, folks.

At least some paint, a pennant number on the bow and then reveal its name !

Come on. That is just touch-up. My appetite is much bigger than that.

Seems like the main mast isn't the integrated kind found on the Type 055

Regarding the name it's funny now since we are in almost the same situation, when the Liaoning was at that stage: we had countless suggestions of names ...


So far for the Type 001A I only heard of the rumor saying "Shandong". Any other info out already ?

The difference is that at least you know it would be named after a province.
And Shandong is the most reasonable and appropriate name. Guangdong or Hainan may have slight chance though.

Very likely it will be posted to Southern Sea fleet. I guess Guangdong is most likely the name.

I will go for "Hainan" since the second purpose built aircraft carrier base is built in Sanya, Hainan.
