Chinese carrier sails through waters near Okinawa, Japan says

TOKYO (Reuters) - Eight Chinese naval vessels, including an aircraft carrier, passed between islands in Japan's southern Okinawa chain on Monday, Japan's defence ministry said in a news release.
The ships, which included several destroyers, sailed between the main Okinawa island and Miyakojima, according to the ministry. Although there was no incursion into Japan's territorial waters, helicopters on board the Liaoning carrier took off and landed, the ministry said.
China's Defence Ministry did not answer calls seeking comment during a national holiday.
The U.S. 7th Fleet, part of the Navy's Pacific force, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Taiwan's Defence Ministry said it would monitor the movements of the carrier group, and described the situation as "normal."

China Sends Aircraft Carrier Strike Group Near Okinawa in Message to US and Japan
5 Apr 2021
The Japan Times | By Jesse Johnson
China sent an aircraft carrier and five escort ships, including a destroyer likened to the U.S. Navy's Aegis-class vessels, through the Miyako Strait near Okinawa over the weekend in a signal of its growing ability to counter American and Japanese military power further from its shores.
Japan's Defense Ministry announced late Sunday that the Liaoning carrier and five other warships were spotted Saturday sailing south through international waters in the narrow passageway that separates Okinawa's main island and Miyako Island. The vessels did not enter Japanese waters or its contiguous zone.

For those who want to build a model of the Chinese aircraft carrier Shandong (Type 001A project), which is China's first domestically-built carrier, the Shapeways vendor Dutch Fleet Naval Miniatures now has a 1/700 Type 001A island available.

Presumably, one could just add this island to a Trumpeter 1/700 kit of her half-sister ship Liaoning, considering how similar the two vessels are.

Trumpeter's Type 001A/Type 002 has now been released. Unfortunately, like that aftermarket island, it also has the wrong number and type of windows for the bridge, using the same part from the Liaoning kit: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10585493

Although i asked in the Main Forum, I got not replies.....

%So i ask again here, probably a better place to have done so:

What colour is the Liaoning?

Trumpeter would have all their ships painted in the same colour (Vallejo 990, FYI) , but i don't for 1 second believe this!

Any ideas, Guys?

Hi guys,

I search for the same answer, but the topic was deleted... Someone knows for the paint that should be used?

Thank you in advance.

An update on the Liaoning's air wing development:

Chinese fighter jets complete night landings on carrier, live-fire drills

Reuters Staff

2 Min Read

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Chinese fighter pilots have carried out night landings on the country’s first aircraft carrier, the official China Daily reported on Saturday, the latest demonstration of military muscle as Beijing’s pushes to modernize its armed forces.

Pilots flying J-15 jets landed at night on the Liaoning, the official paper said, citing a video posted by China’s navy. It said this was a complex maneuver that marked a “huge leap towards gaining full combat capability”.

China has ambitious plans to overhaul its armed forces as it ramps up its presence in the disputed South China Sea and around self-ruled Taiwan, an island China considers its own.

China starts building third aircraft carrier

It's not the Colombo Express herself, as she's currently in the Mediterranean making her way to the Suez Canal.

Found this photo by Getty - it seems she's the Berlin Express. Hapag Lloyd's vessel tracker indicates she left the nearby port of Shenzhen at 6am on July 7, so that works well with Liaoning's arrival.


Berlin Express is rather smaller than the Colombo Express, at 230m overall versus 335m. Berlin carries 7506 TEUs while Colombo is at 8749.

Can someone confirm if the cargo ship behind Liaoning inside Hong Kong harbor is the Colombo Express? Using this photo as reference, I think it is possible to make a very interesting 1/700 Diaorama as both ships are available in the same scale!

Another view of the 2nd Chinese carrier, or the first indigenous one, which was launched yesterday, as mentioned in another thread.

IHS Jane's 360
Quote:
Like Liaoning, the Type 001A is a conventionally powered short take-off but arrested recovery (STOBAR) carrier and is thus fitted with a 'ski-jump'.

According to Chinese state media, however, the new vessel is expected to be faster (top speed of 31 kt) than Liaoning (29 kt) and has a shorter island and a larger hangar. According to the state-owned Global Times newspaper, the Type 001A is expected to embark between 32 and 36 J-15 carrier-based fighters compared to the 24 J-15s Liaoning can carry.

An improved version of the 2nd carrier or a sister ship in the same class?

China building third aircraft carrier, says report

IHS Jane's 360 - 24 February 2017
Quote:
As the People's Liberation Army Navy's (PLAN's) second aircraft carrier, commonly referred to as the Type 001A, nears completion, Chinese state-owned media have reported that the country's third aircraft carrier is also under construction.

Li Jie, a naval military expert, was quoted by the Global Times newspaper on 21 February as saying that the carrier, commonly known as the Type 002, will be "entirely different" from China's previous carriers and that it will look like a "US aircraft carrier rather than a Russian one".
