CV-16 Liaoning (001 carrier) Thread II ...News, Views and operations

[Obi Wan Russell]

Ship's Captains aren't a permanent fixture, they are replaced regularly (every two or three years on average) as they move up the promotion ladder. Probably just his time to move on... and bring his experience to the planning of future carrier operations.

Imagine this

CV16 and CV17 doing joint exercise with the Russian Kuz

That's 3 X STOBAR !! Wow what a sight

It most certainly would be, especially if the Kuznetzov made it to the South China Sea without the aid of a Tug!

I heard that just recently the captain of Liaoning had been replaced, likely moved to higher post while they get the next one up to task maybe?

That's weird... I would imagine commanding the CV-16 is perhaps the most coveted job in the PLAN. If they wanted to give him the CV-17, they would most likely wait until the CV-17 is commissioned and then move him to the new ship. Why move him now? Put him at a desk and make him wait? That doesn't sound like a promotion to me...

If they wanted to train new captains for next Chinese CV's, they would put the new captain side-by-side with the old one. This way, the old captain can properly train the new one.

Well, those two together would be impressive enough...and here's sort of how that would look:

Well, maybe he will command the whole task force and the new captain will work under him, who knows?

... who knows?

Nobody.

I think, the normal way is officer on a small ship, officer on a large ship, captain on a small ship and then captain on a large ship. Captains on aircraft carriers should be pilots in the beginning of their military live, may be squadron leaders in between.

Thank You for that message. But wrong thread, we have a Liaoning-thread.

Sorry, My mistake. No update on that thread since Sept. so it was almost at the bottom of the page.
