It began sea trials in August, there will be other photos, just not taken by commercial satellite.

Just one question - will it have a Western Laundry?

Ah, by sea trials they actually meant paddling pool trials. Do they have to build another dam and flood the village to get it to float to the sea?

Are you sure that's the same ship? It looks like it has a very different shape from the one shown in the BBC article.

Hmm looking at that Article, is that accurate about the US having 11 Carriers compared to everyone else's 1 (Or two in the case of Italy)

Is America so afraid of everyone that they have to have more carriers then the rest of the world combined? Is America expecting the entire world to team up to take them down?

Or is America's Navy like the Russian Army in WWII?

CHARGE!! IF YOU SINK WE HAVE RESERVES!

That's either the Kiev or the Minsk, both Kiev class carriers that were sold to China, one is a hotel, the other used to be a military amusement park until the owners went bust.
