Type 001A Headed Out for Sea Trials

The People’s Liberation Army Navy’s (PLA Navy) first domestically built aircraft carrier, the Type 001A Shandong (CV-17), began sea trials on 13 May.

The carrier was headed out for trials from Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Company (DSIC) shipyard. The first set of sea trials is expected to test the reliability of the carrier’s power and propulsion systems as well as its speed, maneuverability, and equipment such as radar and communications systems. 

The Type 001A was launched in Dalian on 26 April 2017 and will be ready for commissioning by the end of 2018.
