Ok ... there's always something one can learn, however I still rate this report not reliable and my feeling tells me that the author indeed meant entering PLAN service = entering operation service, something that not even one of the carriers you mentioned was at the time of "commissioning".

Best,

Alors que les deux porte-avions chinois sont toujours à quai et sur cale, l'un des "paquebots" d'accompagnement a quitté le port de Dalian aujourd'hui pour de raison inconnue.

Translated from French by
While the two Chinese aircraft carriers are still docked and on hold, one of the accompanying "cruise ships" left Dalian Harbor today for unknown reason.

1) Correcting anything necessary
2) Continuing with preparation ofr more trials and adding more finishing touches.
