Interesting update from Huitong !

It was rumored in November 2016 that a J-15T took off for the first time from a ground-based electromagnetic catapult (EMALS). The latest rumor (April 2017) suggested that the production of J-15A ended after 3 batches of 24 units for the Type 001 aircraft carrier. It is expected to be followed by the improved J-15B (?) which will feature a new AESA radar developed by the 607 Institute.

This makes sense since officially CV-16 is just a training ship, no point giving it state of the art AESA radars.

Is the number 911 coincidental?

Given how little difference there is between CV-16 and her newbuilt Chinese sister, it is safe to consider both fully capable carriers.

In some sense yes, but I guess Chinese leaders still do not have pride in a foreign vessel being China's first aircraft carrier, hence there is tendency to relegate it to a 'training' ship.

So, it is just a cosmetic term, a symbolic issue. Because, for a training ship, it is remarkably well armed and equipped, pretty much equal (with few exceptions) to the homebuilt follow-on.

And the relationship between the two ships is not like this:

Yes, symbolism means a lot to us Chinese. We are too proud to accept a freaking refurbished Ukrainian vessel as the FIRST AIRCRAFT CARRIER. It has got to be Chinese made with at least Chinese made planes although cloned in many facets.. The swadeshi psyche among Chinese is very strong.

That's a cut out from this one (J-15T), from Huitong's site, right?

#122 is now clearly confirmed c/n 0213 .. so right now not a Batch 03-bird.

guanyu/zhao zilong are not a good idea,I prefer to weiqing/huo qubing, 陈汤 also is OK.
