CV-16 Liaoning (001 carrier) Thread II ...News, Views and operations

[Franklin]

Great Photos Franklin! Say do you still keep track of CV-16 at sea periods? If so please post and update listing. Thank you.

This year she went out 3 or 4 times for training. She is definitely out at sea far more than Kutznetzov or Vikramaditya ever were. No hiccup, no accident good track record. It was slow at start but once she get the hang out of it she just keep on training
I understand Vikramaditya is now undergoing refit

Yes Franklin please update your list thanks

Sorry, guys I can't update the sea trial periods anymore since the media no longer cover the sea trials and deployments as it use to in the beginning. That was my source for those updates.

no reason to be sorry!

Just pointing out for anyone else who hasn't seen as many pictures and/or videos of Liaoning as I have lol, to be aware that the contents of the video isn't hot off the press or anything.

While events with Kuznetsov are really "wtf?!" - it's worth remembering, what her deployements are not about sailing around in home waters. Especially current one.

p.s. on Vikramaditya -
