Re: CV-001A
CV-17 is now the SHANDONG. She was commissioned a few days ago with full pomp and ceremony. . Apparently she will be with the "South Sea Fleet". Shown are her pilots and imperious leader.......

Second Chinese aircraft carrier enters service
The commissioning of the Shandong has placed China in a small club of nations with multiple aircraft carriers. The nation is also building a third.
China has one other aircraft carrier, a former incomplete Soviet vessel bought from Ukraine, known as the Liaoning.
The Shandong is a first-generation Chinese aircraft carrier. It is the country’s second aircraft carrier after the completion of Liaoning, and the first built domestically.
The aircraft carrier’s design is largely based on China’s first carrier Liaoning, which was itself built from the partially complete hull of the Soviet Kuznetsov class aircraft carrier Varyag.

Here is a bow view of the PLANs newest CV, at her carrier pier. A "NOSE" that would make Jimmy Durante jealous!!!
Now if we all keep buying at Wal Mart the 4th PLAN CV will be financed, won't that be sooooooooo nice??
