Storyline


China will launch its first home-built aircraft carrier, Type 001A, as part of its strengthened naval forces.

The Type 001A aircraft carrier, sitting at the Dalian shipyard, could hit the water as early as this week, according to military sources.

In the shipbuilding industry, measuring tides and currents is an essential part of getting large ships safely into the water.

Military enthusiasts on China's social media are predicting the new aircraft carrier may enter the sea when the next astronomical tide occurs at the port of Dalian.

"I am so excited to see the first aircraft carrier made by ourselves. It's so impressive," said a visitor at the port.

"I've seen the aircraft carrier through a binoculars. It looks much more thrilling than photos on the Internet," said another visitor.

While the ship may appear complete, it is yet to be fitted out internally and equipment such as radios and radars, even kitchen appliances, still need to be installed, according to analysts.

They believe it will take about one to two years for the new aircraft carrier to carry out functional debugging of devices, weapons and equipment, before the craft can begin sea trials by early 2019.
