CV-17 Shandong - Type 002 Aircraft Carrier News & Discussions

China’s new aircraft carrier set to miss 70th anniversary parade as sea trials continue (South China Morning Post – 2019-07-11)

Hand it to the South China Morning Post come up with a "miss" story for a project that's on schedule.

But there is still hope, since this report is written by Minnie Chan!

Quite aware of the possibility, still, just for fun, indeed each of us can bet whether or not the CV-002 will make it into the parade show of the 70th Anniversary of the PRC.

I opt to believe what this SCMP article says, be it Minnie Chan or someone else.

Just post down one's own position, we all can check later by the 1st October

Btw I did not see the SCMP made the wrong "guess" for the earlier 70th Anniversary of PLA Navy regarding the participation of the CV-002.

She sails again, let's hope this is the final sea trial.

More photo, these are clearer. Minesweeper 811 doing sentry duty for the aircraft carrier.

Pretty sharp turn for a carrier. But why the pic so small like a stamp? Could this be hinting the Chinese satellite capability of tracking evasive and fast moving maneuver carriers at sea?

Sorry to ask again, but has she returned or was this image only taken while passing this smaller vessel?

Image of video taken some times ago, from CCTV news. No report of 002 back to port, yet.

Barrack ship #89 has disappeared. 002 not coming back? What is 052D doing there?
