My god China, you are still tooooooo slowwwwwwww with this aircraft carrier. And it is NOT EVEN a nuclear-powered carrier! Paint it already, before Trump becomes president. Don't you have any real sense of urgency?! Where is your "China" speed? /end rant

I think it would be of great tremendous symbolism if China were to finish this carrier right on the eve of New Year 2017 though.Corrections to some silly posts here:-
1/ The 'Liaoning' is not a just a training vessel, but a fully fledged combat ship. Even the Chinese authorities have stated this. Do people here really think, that a vessel that has been given a full suite of weapons systems, and a squadron of combat aircraft, would not be used in a conflict, if the need arose?
2/ The post from 'Huan' was absolutely ridiculous, concerning the build speed of China's second carrier. In fact it has been built so far at a 'very rapid' pace, and its been speculated that the vessel should be launched around Spring time next year. I think people are so used to looking at photos on the internet, that they forget the reality that these vessels are truly massive in size, and it requires a whole army of people to construct these vessels, and there is tons of work to be done in the inside of the carrier as well. It takes the US at least 7 years to construct one of their carriers, and the fact that they are nuclear powered is another irrelevant fact to the build timetable.
That's my rant over!
Well hopefully then, onto assembly-line prefab type manufacturing of carriers by 2030-2035ish.Sorry, but what a stupid post !
If You look how fast these engineers were to put this ship together I don't know what You expected. Just take a look at how long it usually takes for a ship of such size and complexity and a comparison to a CVN is plain off since it is simply Chinese first carrier !
