Originally begun as the Veryag by the former Soviet Union, the Shi Lang was finally captured in photographs undergoing sea trials.

A second carrier has been under construction since July.

This is what you bought at WalMart.

Freedom is Important because People are Important

Hello,

Good for China. As every Republican knows, projecting power is essential if you wish to be known as a superpower. I support China's right to do what we do: Waste money in the name of Defense.

I bow to you, sir. You are awesome.

The GOP cheers Iran's ambitions to become a superpower by acquiring nuclear weapons, too, right? ;)

I'm surprised it took so long for anyone to notice...
Dunno if I mentioned the incident in which a certain company pawned off a decommissioned destroyer on Greece at a loss in order to get RID of it before the EPA condemned the dock it was polluting as a biohazard (and the damn thing almost sank as they hauled it off) - but I have a few connections with former service personnel in charge of disposing of surplus military equipment, so I kind of have an ear to the ground on stuff like this, okay ?

You know who was the LAST folks to know about this ?
Them motherfucking "intelligence" people we hand billions of dollars and unchecked power with no accountability.
As usual, they're so busy playing their stupid little games they're unwilling or unable to do their proper job.

As far as why they might want/need one - three guesses who supplies a damn lot of Chinas petroleum, and I am SURE you can figure it out from there.

Carriers are stupid though, their day has come and gone, so this is more ego pump than actual readiness.

For more info, over to Gary...
