Aircraft carrier "Varyag" may become part of the Chinese Navy under the name Liaoning

The former Soviet aircraft carrier Varyag may have the name of one of the provinces of China - Liaoning, the portal reports.News VPK "with reference to the forum of the Chinese website china-defense.com, which publishes an article from the English-language Chinese newspaper Global Times. In the article, an expert from the Chinese Institute of Naval Research Li Jie raised the topic of what the former Soviet aircraft carrier Varyag will be called after delivery the fleet and where will he be based. This article kicked off “active public comment,” writes the Global Times.

The expert predicted that the aircraft carrier would be named one of the country's provinces, and the ship should be based on several bases in order to increase the speed of use. Some experts believed that the ship would be named after an eminent public or military figure, as practiced in the United States. Traditionally, China gives large ships the names of provinces, small - cities and municipalities. The Ministry of National Defense of China called the speculations of Ji “speculations”, as there is still no consensus on this issue.

The aircraft carrier completed its ninth launch at sea and returned July 30 to the port of Dalian (Liaoning Province). Ji believes that the main systems of the ship successfully passed a series of tests, and will soon be included in the PLA Navy (as an example, he cites the fact that the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln was accepted into the United States Navy after 10 sailing). On the deck were seen two mock-ups of life-size aircraft. The expert believes that although the takeoffs and landings of the aircraft on the deck were not carried out, this is of “minor importance”. In response, Liu Daguang, a military expert at the National University of Defense PLA, said that entry into the fleet could occur only after successful takeoffs and landings of aircraft, although similar tests were already performed on the ground flight deck simulator.

Earlier it was reported that the aircraft carrier will be accepted into the fleet in early August in honor of the 85 anniversary of the PLA or 1 of October on the anniversary of the founding of the PRC. Colonel of the General Directorate of Arms of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), Lin Bai, said that tests of the aircraft carrier were proceeding successfully, and the Navy achieved "the desired results." The ship will be used for personnel training and research. It is reported that an aircraft carrier can carry about 30 aircraft and helicopters, the crew will be approximately 2000 people.

According to one of the forum participants, it would be logical to give the aircraft carrier the name of the province of Liaoning, which includes the port of Dalian. It was here that the ship was repaired, modernized, and from here goes to sea for testing. Previously, there were reports that the aircraft carrier had already received the unofficial name "Shi Lan" in honor of the great Chinese admiral who conquered the island of Taiwan in the era of the Qing Empire (Shi Lang, 1621 – 1696).

Scattered in due time Now this handsome man will demonstrate the Chinese flag in the seas and oceans

[танк]

it makes no sense to regret and grieve on such occasions, Russia has a lot of money from gas and oil, it is necessary to build new promising ones, and junk to merge, otherwise there will be no development ...

[patsantre]

They could be unmeasured. But now it’s green candy wrappers, which also go to hell, understand to someone. Anywhere, but not where you need to.

Before draining. need to create. And then we once already destroyed to the ground. Only then did human resources not be counted.

Re-read, so I wrote

[mkrass2006]

TRANZHIRA you're right; and even such a strong name was lost by "VARIAN". And I'll tell you how you rename the ship MAVER expect trouble ...

[Sinbad]

They sold everything, scum. And where are the executions of the enemies of the people? There are no sentences, which means that the authorities are still the same.

What do you call a yacht

It’s good that the atomic carriers didn’t have time to bring them to a finished state, so the Chinese already had three aircraft carriers ....
While we sit and envy

Let me remind you that it was not Russia that gave it to its yellow-skinned "brothers".

I copy my post from the previous news about the same

They will conquer the same song of Russia again. You didn’t want it. Now the same situation with the cruiser Ukraine, you said that you will pick it up only for nothing.

And the next to stop these conversations, yes, Ukraine sold an aircraft carrier and not only it, but a lot more, but before looking for a speck in the eyes of others, look at yourself where TAKR Minsk, Kiev, Novorossiysk is now ....
The conversation about who sold more on this forum has arisen more than once and in one of the holivars one of the commentators gave a lot of specific data and on them your guys at the Pacific Fleet sold more than all the others combined

Maybe enough already?

[Per se.]

You are right, White, Russia could have redeemed the "Varyag", what the USSR needed back to complete it, an excuse, Chernomyrdin heard what he wanted to hear. We need integration with Ukraine, political, economic, military. How much has been done for this, why is Russia's initiative so sluggish, and the States do not spare their efforts and resources for a split between us? Does Ukraine need Russia? I think so, but this needs to be proved, unfortunately, because of the wasted time and lost initiative.

That is where the threat of Russia and the CIS is. Hooray patriots are all America. America. Yes, with America, at least parity for all the past years. Now both America and Russia track another aircraft carrier fleet on the oceans.
Someone will tell one what they will do. But this and the Chinese they do not buy much. From the purchased their copies and the development of copies are made. The planes can be seen. If they had not sold the SU in their time, the Chinese would still have flown the MiG-21. And now, on the basis of Su, they have entered the market with their developments. So it will be with the Varyag. Five or five years from now, the Varyag will be sailing under the Chinese flag. Also sell a Kursk-class submarine and then how to respond to the territorial claims of the Asian neighbor. At least America has no territorial claims. Overlooked, shouted behind the foam of anti-Americanism.

Calm down already predicted by the Orthodox monk — forgot his name that China will reach the Urals! The truth of what type of expansion is a question! In general, the whole casus lies in the fact that it is impossible to conquer Russia in principle! I will sit in the taiga with a rifle and a hundred people are with me and where will these billions be in a year !!! And after all, surely I’ll sit back not only ... our territory is too huge to be able to conquer it;

[Concept1]

I have no words!
Now there would be three aircraft carriers in service would be!

We are all guilty here.

[Baron Wrangell]

it is a pity that those responsible for its sale did not suffer punishment!
And I believe that in Russia there will be a new "Varyag", and that he will be in TOFE, and that he will still glorify his name !!!
our proud "Varyag" does not surrender to the enemy!

[lelikas]

And I believe in it, but I just see it?

[UAZ Patriot]

I ALSO BELIEVE THAT WILL BE

[Artem6688]

The Pacific Fleet already has a Project 1164 Varyag missile cruiser

[Sergh]

No matter how much the Chinese resist, call him at least Lönin, even Mao, even a year earlier they kicked out their air-ferry, and MiGar has already landed at Vikromaditya. Yes, and self-confidently act.

A interpretation:

The ship will be used for staff training and research.

She says for herself: You won’t jump above your head. It seems like they conduct research first, and then build, but here ambitions run ahead of the horse.
Let our SevMashevites at Wikromaditya get their hands full, it’s useful, there’s still a lot of work with the Orlanes, let’s it’s time to start collecting your air monsters, but more abruptly, vigorous and new.

[UAZ Patriot]

Then the thought slipped through that our new aircraft carriers would not be exactly like that. So I thought that it would not be bad to build not aircraft carriers, but surface bases. That would be cool with any countries to agree on the deployment of land bases is not necessary. Launched above-water anywhere in the ocean and hi there it provides the ships on duty. And it would be possible to place planes on it too :)

[Rossmk]

That's what we sell aircraft carriers ?! There are still no promising ones, but we merge the old ones!
