CV-16 Liaoning - Type 001 Aircraft Carrier News & Discussions

[MReynolds]

Did the shipyard relocate the Liaoning? So this visit is likely an upgrade.

What's the function of Barracks ship? Does it always accompany the Carrier?

AFAIK, no. It's likely used if the port doesn't have enough accommodations or the accommodations onboard is unusable due to maintenance or repairs.

not purely about accommodations, mainly for trainning personal , Liaoning is also a trainning ship, which means two or three same suits of aircraft personal trainning at the same time. so , carrier crew are fully ready long before 17 is machnically ready. in that way, ship 88 , 89 usually accompany with 16,17， but not all the time.
in the near future, when 16,17 and 88,89 carry out trainning operation, it can produce about 5,6 set of AC crew. also indicates that China will built more AC.

IMO, it mainly plays a role for training.

Interesting article in a Chinese Defense magazine that hypothesizes how PLANS 16 and 17 (?) might be upgraded in the future. They use the modification to the USS Midway as an example of an "extreme makeover". Nice looking end result. They don't suggest this will happen, more that a radial upgrade to a large aircraft carrier has been done before. in short, bow ramp removed and replaced by catapults, and 3 deck-edge lifts, enlarge flight deck.
