Chinese Aircraft Carriers - Liaoning, Shandong, Fujian and the future

Our guess is September 18th.
If this is indeed the date, then the signal China is sending is very strong.

A most reasonable explanation to commemorate several important dates

As per the prior navigation warning, the aircraft carrier Fujian has set sail. The flight deck has been organized, and there are rumors that it is heading to accept carrier-based aircraft units for official commissioning rather than additional sea trials, but the destination is still unconfirmed.

From the on-site photos and videos when enlarged, the hoisted signal flags only show 18Y, with no RU1 (see Figure 3). I believe that this voyage was not a sea trial.
 
The aircraft carrier Fujian is heading to the Yulin Naval Base (Sanya, Hainan Province) at high speed......

Translation:
[The Navy's Fujian aircraft carrier conducts scientific research, testing, and training missions in relevant waters of the South China Sea]
According to Navy spokesperson Senior Colonel Leng Guowei, my country's third aircraft carrier, the Fujian, recently transited the Taiwan Strait and departed for relevant waters of the South China Sea to conduct scientific research, testing, and training missions. This cross-regional testing and training for the Fujian aircraft carrier is a normal part of the aircraft carrier's construction process and is not directed at any specific target.
=====================================
Special Note:
This official announcement is identical to the last one issued many years ago before the Shandong aircraft carrier officially entered service.
 
Via ACuriousPLAFan/SDF:

"Fujian is said to have reached the waters off Shantou, Guangdong today, i.e. she has already transited Taiwan Strait."

Yup, looks like Sanya it is
The destination of the aircraft carrier Fujian is Sanya, as rumored. The carrier air wing has moved in for acceptance.
