Can't wait for the scaffolding to come off her and throw some sea gray on the island.
Once she goes operational with the sea flankers she would certainly be a very capable carrier rivaling anything aside from CVNs.
This next few years is going to be good years for carriers with the USN, PLAN, IN and RN all launching new boats!

I'd say that this firt pic here, from Deino, shows that some intial painting has started. erhaps a prier oat, but it seems clear that they have done some painting forward, above the waterline, and extending back aft a ways.

This picture confirms it; they're painting the hull. It seems to be an initial thin layer.

Side note: the 'like' button seems to be working on Chrome again?
