[Kich]

It still has not been confirmed that was a sub. There needs to be more rumors either from PLA or US officials or some news stories about it.

There is a Burke in the background along with a Type 054A.

This one obviously shows a Type 055, likely the Nanchang, along with a Type 052D, although I am not sure if its a 052C.

Well, my eyes are no longer the best ... but where or how do you spot a 055?

A Chinese USN sailor post the video and photos on his twitter. He mentioned J-15
low passed over the US warship. His account is now defunct.

The ship behind the carrier at 10sec looks like a type-55 with its pointy antenna/radar

In this video from Henri Kenhmann you can even see a J-15 landing on the CV-16!

My first thought when I saw the J-15 banking for the turn into the final approach: I would also like to fly a traffic pattern in a J-15 and then land on the Liaoning.
