打造国之重器，聚力兴装强军——我集团公司在武汉召开重点项目工作会​

我国首艘国产航母圆满完成首航任务、安全顺利返航，表明依据我们自主建立的航母设计准则和技术标准体系研制的首艘国产航母结构、浮性、稳性、密性成功经受了海上实航验证；动力系统海上摸底试验取得圆满成功，标志着我国形成了自主研发、设计、建造航母动力系统核心设备、控制软件和系统集成、上舰安装的研制体系。

China’s first domestically-produced aircraft carrier successfully completed its first voyage mission and returned safely and smoothly. This shows that the first domestic aircraft carrier structure, buoyancy, stability, and tightness developed on the basis of our independently established aircraft carrier design criteria and technical standards system have successfully undergone marine navigation verification. The successful completion of the offshore drive test at the power system indicates that China has developed a research and development, design, and construction system for the core equipment of the aircraft carrier power system, control software and system integration, and on-board installation.

China’s first domestically-built aircraft carrier completes sea trials
(People's Daily Online) 16:54, June 20, 2018

China's first domestically built aircraft carrier sets out to sea near the Dalian Shipyard in Liaoning province on May 13 for its first sea trial. The first sea trial mainly focused on testing the reliability and stability of the ship's power systems.

China’s first domestically-built aircraft carrier has completed all sea trials successfully, Hu Wenming, chairman of the China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC), said on June 19, ThePaper.cn reported.

The ship set out and began sea trials ahead of schedule, completing all trials in advance of its delivery to the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy. Experts predict it will arrive with the PLA before the end of the year.

The CSIC has made major headway in manufacturing new equipment and applying new technologies; the quality of all key projects is under control and all work is proceeding in an orderly manner, Hu disclosed.

The ship is China's second aircraft carrier after the Liaoning, and its construction began in 2013. It set out to sea near the Dalian Shipyard in Liaoning province on May 13, 2018.

Pardon, ... but that cannot be!

The carrier just completed its first sea train, so said its maiden voyage. It was never ever tested so that all tests could have been completed.
There were no aircraft tests, surely no long distance cruise and so on.

Also how could this ship be delivered to the Navy already by year's end if not all tests were accomplished.
No carrier was ever delivered within such a short time after its first cruise.

IMO a very bad report put together from a writer who has barely a clue on that topic.
