Liaoning Aircraft Carrier Arrived in Hong Kong
Friday, 7th July 2017, the Liaoning aircraft carrier arrived in Hong Kong. The first aircraft carrier in the Chinese navy and the occasion is a sight to behold. Unfortunately I was not there to see it but I could see the aircraft carrier berthed from my window.
The picture is not to clear but by the naked eye the ship looks impressive compared to the vessels around it.
Although other naval powers already have an aircraft carrier or several carriers in their fleet, the Liaoning is a first for the Chinese Navy. The Liaoning is not a fully functioning aircraft carrier and is used as a training vessel to train future carrier personnel. Even though the Liaoning is retrofitted from the Russian carrier named Varyag this is still a very proud accomplishment.
China’s second indigenous carrier is currently being built and will be operational in the near future.
