SCMP: After a fourth sea trial, China’s Type 001A aircraft carrier may go into service within months
* Vessel returned to home port of Dalian on Tuesday after spending 13 days undergoing tests in the Yellow Sea
* Naval expert says it may be ready in time for fleet review on April 23
China’s second aircraft carrier has returned to its home port of Dalian after finishing a fourth sea trial, and a naval expert says it is likely to be commissioned in the next few months.
It is the first aircraft carrier designed and built in China, and it returned to the shipyard on Tuesday after spending 13 days off the northeast coast in the Yellow Sea – the longest trial so far, according to Chinese media reports.
The Type 001A, which has yet to be named, was believed to have carried out a range of complex tests during the latest trial, and Beijing-based military expert Li Jie said the testing was nearly finished.
“The vessel has probably completed 80 to 90 per cent of the necessary tests,” Li said. “I think it’s possible it can be delivered by the Chinese Navy Day on April 23.”

WNU Editor: That is fast. And they do not even have a name for it yet.

Too fast. The US Navy's carrier fleet's evolution was organic. Through decades of trial and error, innovation and experience. China is sprinting through its development with copied or stolen technology. Little experience in blue water and what appears to be a massive hubris.
Better brush up on your Mandarin Russ. CHUD's like you will need it to improve your social credit score.
What is a CHUD? Please try to be specific.
RussIn,
I agree 100% with what you say.
Originally from the old 1984 awesome horror flick and is the acronym for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller

Also - China has no cultural allies. No friendly ports of call. They are a regional pariah among their neighbors. No global military logistics train. They've got NorK, Pakistan and Kenya.
And a demographic time bomb waiting to go kaboom.

Well they do in Huawei. . But you probably don't even know what that is or what that means. So go on, do your trolling and go get your next talking points..like dog whistle. Like Nazi. Like deplorable. Then show me just how civil your side is. 2018 wasn't enough. People really want to see that again. You know. .calling for mobs. .calling for an end to civility. .or before that shooting up a baseball field with republicans to murder republicans because republicans are evil. Your mindset.. just wow
