Fast, end of year 2017.

Slow, 2018 end of year.

Type001A ship is so similar to CV-16 becos they want to quickly induct into operation. As many well train crew and pilot can easily migrate into Type001A and gain operations status.

In order to be a true navy power able to project power overseas, it need minimal 2 carrier. One for training and one for operation if needed.

Not even France fits the criteria. Enemy of France might strike French when their carrier goes shipyard and French with their carrier in the middle of a refit/maintenance,it will not able to call upon the carrier for action for few months.

End of the game

no it will be fully ready by 2019 at the latest.

Carrier is a systematic work, it takes very long time to integrate.

It depends on how you define "fully ready", whether it refers to commissioning (服役), or combat ready (形成完整作战能力)

True, can not agree more.

Not that fast

yes, but this will be done at "China speed". the crew is basically already trained on CV-17 Liaoning.
Liaoning will remain a training ship going forward, so whenever a carrier is launched, the crew is already ready.

If 001A goes yard. If crisis arises. CV-16 Liaoning can stop training on sea and call upon limited naval action on theatre of war. That is something not even French navy has the luxury.

10 years later we will have 6 carriers, now it's just the beginning.

yes, but there's not going to be naval action I think for a long time but you must always be prepared. having a strong navy itself is a deterrence to prevent conflict breakout because then American side will also suffer heavy losses so everyone will think twice.

Regarding this part about France got to remember they have three Mistrals that can fill in for that duty, if a situation arises that needs to be done with a carrier, they would be in a coalition most likely anyhow.

That being said, congrats, the first of anything isn't easy much less an aircraft carrier!
