CHINA-PLA NAVY: CHINA'S AIRCRAFT CARRIER SHANDONG LEAVES FOR SEA TRIALS

State-owned CCTV said (May 27) that China's second aircraft carrier and the first domestically built one, the Shandong, is now conducting testing and training missions in an undisclosed location at sea. CCTV added that since the COVID-19 outbreak, the aircraft carrier neglected neither epidemic control nor testing and training, as professional training has been conducted for individual sailors, battle positions and departments. Li Yongxuan, Executive Officer of the Shandong, said on CCTV "Troops on the aircraft carrier need to form independent comprehensive combat capability and integrate into the combat group system as soon as possible. We will do our best to make our aircraft carrier capable of fight and win."
