[Jura The idiot]

it took me longer than I thought, anyway found Jeff's post from the time when it wasn't clear what's going on, and many didn't believe Jeff:

PLAN Aircraft Carrier programme...(Closed)
I believe it is evident that this is 001A, the PLAN's indigenous version of the Liaoning, and probably improved in several areas. But still a...

Can you spell "manner" in Chinese? That is the problem with young chinese they totally lack manner and social grace Instead they are uppity arrogant and self righteous Shame on you
I don't want to post in this forum but your lack of social grace compel me to postView attachment 56007 View attachment 56008 View attachment 56008

Here's your problem. You assume I'm Chinese or that this is a Chinese forum or that I'm young. All of these assumptions are false. What Sinodefence Forum is – and I hope it continues to be – a place for dispassionate dissemination and discussion of Chinese defense related information and topics. This is an international forum, and its military-related threads are not an outlet for sensationalism, playing loose with facts, inane nonsense, agenda-driven twaddle, political flamebaiting, fanboyism, jingoistic bombast, and emotional outbursts, which are frowned upon because they are simply in poor form and are cringe-worthy. Furthermore, you must not be fluent in Chinese because you most certainly don't 'spell' Chinese words.

You have accused me of playing sheriff before, and judging from your latest outburst, that accusation still stands. My answer to you remains the same as before, so I will give you precisely the same reply as before: I'm not a sheriff, self-appointed or otherwise, but merely an adult with emotional control who adheres to more rigorous standards of information dissemination and who exercises the right to call things as I see them. I take the time to separate facts from opinions, wishful thinking from factual analysis, and I present information only after I have vetted it. When I do expressed an opinion or speculate, I make it clear that it's an opinion or speculation, meaning I don't phrase it as if it's a fact. I don't pretend to know what I don't know, and I most certainly don't pass information from fanboy forums without critically examining its veracity, especially when the original information is in a language I don't understand. Lastly, I hope you'll agree that SDF is not a fanboy forum, and as such, certain prevailing attitudes and practices at Pakistan Defence Forum do not apply here.

Gosh, it took them so long. Being a fan of Chinese navy requires great amount of patience.

Now, I wonder what ships will use 01 to 15 pennant numbers.

EDIT: By the way, it is clear the ship is not "Type 002", such as a lead ship of a series, but rather a one-off, "Project 002". So I appreciate you updated the thread title.

What part of "lighthearted" do you not understand? Even after explicitly explaining to you that it was never intended to be taken seriously, you are still trying to logically take it apart as if it were a serious proposition.

What's next, a Diplomat article on the inconsistencies and fallacies of Ace Combat video games?

Saying "it's just a joke" is fine, but I'm just saying your joke was illogical and silly.

It seems you agree it was illogical and silly so if that's the case I have nothing to follow it up with.

Congrats to all Chinese

Now please show us some dual carrier photos waited too long now

Each carrier should have on deck 12 x J15 with 6 helicopters each

If they want to add Type 055 and Type 901 they can

however 2 carriers in one shot would be 3rd country after US and UK

That's gonna be "a while" at the very least, because at this time Liaoning is in her maintenance cycle. Thus, Shandong will be relieving her role for the time being.

Since the north is heading into the winter cycle, what's the likelihood that the PLAN carrier aviation to move their training regiment southward till at least spring next year?

 

[H2O]

Maintenance cycle? Liaoning just got a refit. I'm assuming she's somewhere in the SCS.

 

[kurutoga]

It is Type 002. Here are some articles that mentioned it.

If you watch the video, it is called 002 carrier. Not type 002. We are all assuming only one ship will be ever built. So calling it a type is less meaningful.

But this is just a details that is not important. The thread title was adjusted to be precisely matching the notation in the ceremony video.
