Engine and radars installed, so now it's just the termination stage, I believe cable laying had been completed, now is just to connect both ends of the cable and do loop check, this practice is same as any commercial ship.

Are we sure that the AESAs have been installed ? As far as I remember the launch, these were clearly covers only and no actual arrays.

If AESAs are not installed, there would be two big gaping holes as in the case of the Indian carrier. Are you sure they are covers?, those look pretty solid to me. Anyway, I might be wrong.

hi all..
this is interesting... , i have a little doubt too if the panels are installed, it look only get covered, although the covers had changed colours few times, but never seen a detail work over it, segment adding or something like that. not sure how this panel should be installed, from outside or inside? if it can be install from inside, no wonder if we see nothing

Finally! It was about time really. During the past month I was thinking maybe it would have been simpler if the ship was launched a few months later on the first of August when most of the outfitting will be completed.
