A batch of high-resolution photos of carrier ops in the western Pacific. Note that some of these have been posted before but only in low-resolution.

Those are OUTSTANDING photos. Just OUTSTANDING.

The photos while excellent are almost to pristine to be "real". How is it that these mates work on the flight deck and around military aircraft and not get dirty? Amazing! I know one thing that keeps the dirt and grease off of them. No catapults. Catapults are a greasy mess. Perhaps these mates were issued new gear for this photo op.

All in all these are OUTSTANDING photos! Simply OUTSTANDING.

I think the Chinese Carrier personnel maintain a really high standard of Maintenance. It might not be far fetched to say that they have a better maintenance structure than their western Forbears. A job well begun is a job half done, and the PLAN is definitely on its way towards a job 'full done'.
