That's the $64,000,000.00 question mate, I think that it should step up a gear now or possibly after the World Expo being held there at the moment. We can only hope mate...

From humps recently famous thread
The images of the Varag were great but do you have any clear close up images either side of the elevators on this class of ship?
New photos of the starboard(right) side of the ship are virtually non-existant..Why? You have to be in a restricted area to take them ..still...Originally Posted by ozpirate
These photos were probably taken in 2001 or '02 when the ship first arrived in China. Note the horrible condition.
These photos were taken about one year ago after the was moved to dry dock.

This photo is in the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard Bremerton WA. I see two Forrestal class on the outside and the ship in the middle is the Constellation. The Kitty Hawk still has it's catapults where as she's laid up in reserve. These ships are stricken from the Navy list and are awaiting disposal. Since this is on the west coast the Forrestal class ships are the Independence and Ranger.
Thanks for the caption. I had the info once and lost it somewhere in the chaos that is my office.

You are welcome EJ... Thanks for posting such great pix..
Got so many to post, I just need to set aside the time.
Still waiting for the sea story you promised from post #3012. We gotta keep that thread alive.

Good work guys, it's a pity with all the Hi Rise buildings around around the shipyard that we can't get any Hi Def pictures, but the Chinese are excellent at Hiding things, if they don't want you to see it, you won't.
Take care guys.
