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

[HERO]

Apparently, the "Shandong" has finally left the drydock at Sanya after her multi-month-long MLU, and is out for her first sea trial today.

Interesting, she has not yet the deck markings applied.

The deck is kept bare on purpose—waiting for real-world data. New markings will go down in one go after the J-35 finishes its initial trials.

That's just my own feeling.
