This is not a good indicator, there has been multiple ones like this in the last a couple of weeks.

It looks to me that they are taking the time to do it right, not in a hurry for anything.

Still a long list missing...
Stealth carrier based aircraft
VTOL like V-22 or F-35B
An-124, An-225

At this point I wonder is there anything that China cannot build in terms of military equipment. China used to have problems with attack helicopters, large transport planes, stealth fighters and aircraft carriers. Now all of them are being build in China and used by the PLA. China doesn't have stealth bombers and anuclear powered CATOBAR carriers. But there are now programs to build those as well.

Yeah you have to because 2 previous post you are doubting China ability to built carrier with your disparaging remark of possible problem due to delay. Man you need to believe in yourself
Let see if she come back without tug pulling her than we all can celebrate.
China does not need to follow US they have different naval doctrine So comparing China to US is futile execise!

I guess we can say that they are taking their brand new boat out for a Sunday cruise!

Its been a long time coming. Soon the PLAN will have a ship they can actually be more confident to use on operations regardless of its nature.
