Thanks for that link. The pic of the Varyag is very good. Looking at the flight deck as compared to older pics it is apparent that some major work has been done. Unless those pics are "PS". I don't think they are.

Humm??

Will the PRC soon have an CV or LPH?? Does anyone know for sure?

Sczepan, Why can't you post pics anymore?

OMG! Someone in this forum older than I!

Not to get off topic but many times I tried to post in this forum only to have all sorts of technical difficulties. I've lost about 75 post. It comes and goes. Your problem could be related to your server. For instance my server won't let me use those picture posting sites. Don't know why.

If you have any more recent links to the Varyag please post them for all. As everone wants to know about a PLAN CV or LPH!

I've a collection of some varjag-pix, starting in Ukrajinia - passing Bosporus - and at least some years in Dalian ..... its a nice development, but most of the pix we should had in the old forum .....
but to compare a look at the flight deck inside the drydock : see http://www.sinodefence.com/navy/airc...ircarrier4.asp

I'll lookto post it here Latest Varyag Pics - but about the chinese carriers:
China will have blueprints of 3 different carriers:

1 CV Varjag, Latest Varyag Pics and
2 CVH Kiew and Minsk - escort carriers (jeep carriers) Minsk and Kiev
3 LHA(R) Melbourne - amphibious Carrier
(to compare: http://www.irconnect.com/noc/press/p....mhtml?d=81827 )

I bed, whenever the Plan need carriers, they will use these blue prints and redesign these ships as first steps (if not using the original first ....)

Ahhh..hummm... that site is in Chinese..I think ..So could you or someone post a translation? Thanks!

And does anyone have any up to date info on what type of aircraft the PLAN may fit on the CV?

That carrier will be used for training purposes i suspect, it will take many years of training to develop the skills to operate it efficently.

Using it for training purposes is also sensible, if PLAN are working on their own carrier designs. maybe they are cloning it

Basic training and something to have a widley publicised cerimony for once it launches sound good to me.


btw

Anyone want some pics of the new RN Carrier as it develops ? my house overlooks the shipyard where its being built, im gona try and get a time lapse thingie of it setup.

THis one http://www.royal-navy.mod.uk/static/pages/1971.html
