Anyway, it's nice to see the PRC finally admitting what we already know.

They've got the training center set up, and they've had the HMAS Melbourne until late 2002. J-15 is coming online now, so I'd say the Shi Lang will be fully ready by next year, and I'd wager the next two Type 089 carriers will be unveiled about that point when they start being built.
