and here Asif, I would just say this is typical of any "new build", while they had the Liaoning as a guide? this is China's first keel up aircraft carrier, there will be a few kinks, look at the Ford????

If there aren't a few failures along the way? you are really not trying!

Seems u r right in this regard. I also feel there is something wrong with this carrier. Just a hunch but some thing is fishy....

Well she sails again for possible final sea trial, certainly not carrying lots of smelly fish.

More clearer photo. Minesweeper 811 acting as sentry for the ac.

But carrying a fuel truck in front of the island, that means flight ops.

In addition, the arresting wires are stretched across the flight deck.

Landing and take off trials perhaps?

That would be obvious. The jets are not necessarily fueled, but the SAR helicopters.
