Back to the Type 001A ... there are some new images including parts of the ship that will follow the carrier !

However that strange red part is part of the original superstructure of former Varyag that was removed in 2010 or 2011 and replaced with one now housed the main radar panel of Liaoning.

It is rumoured that the shipyard has turned it into a warehouse or store.

Another interesting tidbit more and more private company are involve in defense project. A good move since generally private company are more efficient and less bureaucratic

532 companies, 312 of them private, participated in the project of the 2nd Chinese carrier. Launching took place 1 month earlier than expected.

New picture is that the potty?
