2017MSI入围赛名额敲定 4月20号举行抽签仪式
The nation's first domestically built aircraft carrier, the CNS Shandong, sailed into Hong Kong Special Administrative Region waters on Thursday on its maiden visit to the city, accompanied by a powerful escort fleet.
The sprawling carrier, alongside three escort ships — the Yan'an (Type 055 destroyer), Zhanjiang (Type 052D destroyer), and Yuncheng (Type 054A frigate) — received a grand water salute as they sailed into Hong Kong waters and toward Victoria Harbor at around 8:00 am, drawing cheers from enthusiastic crowds gathered along the waterfront.
The Shandong's massive flight deck — standing 20 stories tall and spanning two football fields — showcased 10 fighter jets alongside a formation of more than 700 sailors spelling out guoan jiahao, a Chinese phrase meaning "a secure nation ensures thriving families".
Shandong's visit makes Hong Kong the only city to have played host to two serving Chinese carriers, following CNS Liaoning's 2017 visit for the handover's 20th anniversary.
