China's first domestically built aircraft carrier, the Type 001A, is now ready for launch. According to the military, the warship may be launched as early as April 23, the anniversary of the founding of the PLA Navy.

The Type 001A weighs about 70,000 tonnes, is 315 meters long, 75 meters wide and has a cruising speed of 31 knots.

China's first aircraft carrier was delivered and commissioned to the Navy of the Chinese People's Liberation Army on Sept. 25, 2012. The carrier, with the name "Liaoning" and hull number 16, was officially handed over to the Navy at a ceremony held in a naval base of northeast China's Dalian Port. [Photo: Xinhua]​

I believe this carrier will be called Guangdong. CV-17 Liaoning named after a northern province. Its time to name after a southern province of China. Despite this carrier is first domestic build, it will not be the most advance carrier China going to build.

Remember PLAN first modern domestic build destroyer with decent air defense of Russian Shtil missile was quickly named guangzhou.
