1. What's the name of China's first aircraft carrier?


"Varyag" is the ever name of the aircraft carrier, and it is sure that China will give it a new Chinese name with more important meanings. Western medias ever guessd that China would name it with "Shi Lang," a famous ancient general who was very good at sea battles in Qing Dynasty and who made great contribution in unifying Taiwan in Qing Dynasty.


However Chinese military experts denied its possibility since China has certain regulations and principles in naming China's vessels. And some experts believe it would be named with some China's mountain or river, like "Tai Mountain" and "Long River", or some person, such as "Mao Zedong" and "Sun Yat-sen".




2. Who will be the first commandor of the aircraft carrier



Public is very concerning about who would be named the Varyag's commander. The official China Defense Newspaper earlier quoted media reports as saying Li Xiaoyan, 50, and Bai Yaoping, 49, were widely seen as top candidates for the post.

Li and Bai are both 1990 graduates of the Chinese military's first course - a three-year program, and the only one so far - to train aircraft carrier captains

Li Xiaoyan


Li has a special compared to other people’s experience – 1996 to 1999, he was commanding the Russian Kuznetsov Naval Academy, and “joint naval battle against the carrier battle group” thesis master’s degree. As an aircraft carrier’s captain, not only to understand flight, know navigation, ship operation to understand, but also to understand the Navy’s battle command, the Navy high command has not been post-graduate institutions, it is difficult to accomplish. Therefore, further studies go to Russia compared to other people through Li’s an advantage.


In addition, the pilot from the captain to serve ships you see, Li was serving 167 guided missile destroyer is the flagship of the South China Sea FLit, in a very long time the highest level of China’s large-scale C4I systems sLip ships, fLit command charged with the task; other person serving vessels of a grade lower than 167. Although some command of the “modern” level, although the “modern” class fighting strong, because of the differences can not be responsible for electronic systems fLit command task. As a result, can also be seen superior to Li’s high regard.


Another point, China’s first aircraft carrier deployed in the South China Sea, the possibility of very large, and Li just in the South China Sea FLit, therefore, in situ promotion than the “airborne” should be easier to deal with all aspects of the relationship.

Bai Yaoping

When China's Central Military Commission initiated its first "pilot warship captain class" at Guangzhou Warship Academy in 1987, Bai Yaoping was among the ten most outstanding pilots picked for training. Nine of them went through three and half to four years of training in naval aviation command and were stationed in different command units to serve as deputy captains before becoming captains of their aviation wings.


The members of that first class all have close to 20 years of joint training experience and are now close to their 50s. Most of them hold ranks above colonel or senior colonel.


Following the Jamestown Foundation's prediction, Bai's picture was shown on a Chinese military newspaper on July 4. He was dubbed "a new commander standing at the forefront."


Bai, 49, from Anhui province, became a outstanding fighting pilot by 24 with the ability to fly four different types of aircraft and different weather conditions. He had fought in more than ten different aerial battles over south and north China, according to the newspaper.


At the age of 28, Bai had already been promoted to captain and become one of the country's first batch of naval aviation commanders.

3. When will be the first sea trial?


After the failure of speculation that the aircraft carrier would hold its first sea trial on July 1st, almost all foreign medias think it would do it in the early August. Since the Defense Ministry of China had firstly confirmed China is in pursuit of an aircraft carrier program on yesterday, more reason for they to believe that the aircraft carrier would be in its first sea trial in a very short time.

5. Where will China's first aircraft carriet be deployed?



Since the rebuilding works on Varyag is going to be finished, where will it be deployed triggered great speculations among Chinese Netizens. In an online survey, nearly 70% of respondents hope it could be deployed in South China Sea.


However, some military experts guess it might be deployed at the north reagion due to its current location, location of carrier-borne aircraft J-15's producing factory and some other reasons.




No matter how many uncertain elements are still on the China's first aircraft carrier, one thing for sure that it would patrol in the sea on behalf of China and Chinese navy force. "Varyag" might be only a start for China's military modernization; there will be batches of "miracles" are waiting ahead!
