She is looking good and fit. Squared away.

With the life bouys and the ships vessels on board, and with the new crew coming on in numbers...I believe we are VERY close to seeing her put to sea.

You got that correct! Amen!!

I remember the times ships I was abroad would refuel or just go along side another Navy's ship. Everything was cordial. Shipmates waving at each other taking photos..etc..etc...

Ot I once new two people who were heavy drinkers and sailed as merchant crewmen on different boats but shared a flat together when they were in home port they were always out drinking. During the night when they passed each other coming and going from the bathroom they often used the expression "We were like ships that passed in the night"

I never found out what they meant until prompted by yours and Kwaigs post prompted to look for

"Two ships passing in the night"


Often said of people who meet for a brief but intense moment and then part, never to see each other again.These people are like two ships that greet each other with flashing lights and then sail off into the night.

I would love to see a PLAN CSG and a USN CSG working together and training TOGETHER in the next few years. Aside from fostering good relations there is also an actual positive operational aspect to it. Navies who work or worked together also knows the expectation of each other. When each entity knows the other, it lessens the chance of misunderstanding, miscommunication and mistakes. It's not that much difference on the macro level down to the individual human level.
PLAN is already the 2nd largest navy in the world and in the coming decade would match maybe even exceed the entire US 7th fleet in capability and power.
It is a GOOD thing to sail together as it fosters intra navy cooperation and cement the concept of brotherhood regardless of the flag each person sails under.
When you're out in the high seas all sailors are brothers. Politicians cause wars. The guy scrubbing the deck or manning the pri fly holds those others in the high seas with high regard and respect.

and here we have it Gentlemen, Respect!

REAL-TIME INTEL ON WHAT MOVES MARKETS
Carrier-based attack drones to enter service with PLA Navy
New shipborne drones are tipped to debut at Zhuhai airshow in November
By ASIA TIMES STAFF APRIL 4, 2018 7:30 PM (UTC+8)

The Chinese Navy is testing new drones capable of synchronized operations with military aircraft.

The drones – or unmanned aerial vehicles – are tailor-made to ascend and land vertically on destroyers and even aircraft carriers.

Joint operations of manned military aircraft such as fighter jets and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are the way of the future, Shi Wen, chief engineer and designer of China’s Caihong attack drones, told Xinhua.

“We are making efforts to promote artificial intelligence for UAVs to allow manned aircraft to co-pilot UAVs,” Shi revealed.

China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp, a military-industrial complex, was commissioned by the Chinese military to develop a squadron of attack and reconnaissance drones. They will be used by PLA naval units tasked with responding to emergencies in the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea.

The Global Times has suggested that the first batch of shipborne drones will roll off the production line soon, once China’s first domestically made carrier nears its maiden sea trial.

“Although the military has not released any information, research into carrier-based UAVs started long ago, and ship-based UAVs have already been used in training on destroyers and frigates,” the paper quoted a naval expert as saying.

A new “stealth” drone, codenamed Caihong-X, believed to be the epitome of Chinese drone technology, will be displayed at Airshow China 2018 in November in the southern city of Zhuhai.

Observers believe Caihong-X could be compatible with electromagnetic catapults said to have been mounted on the homemade carrier.

The virtues of carrier-borne drones are obvious: extended payload, airborne time, operational radius, plus extra maneuverability, as it should have significant acceleration speed when it’s catapulted from a carrier, far beyond that of a normal plane

Nice, but two areas of major error:

1. It will not ascend and descend vertically as presently configured....

2. the virtues of carrier borne drones are NOT obvious, specifically extra maneuverability as the most obvious of the errors, and airborne time will not necessarily increased..,,

where these guys come up with these ideas?? probably reading fan boy posts, LOL ascend vertically?? descend vertically?? maybe with a parachute???

anyway, it will be interesting to follow the sea trials, and at least people are "pressing forward".
