Second Trial
China's refitted aircraft carrier sailed for its second sea trial on November 29. The carrier was an empty shell purchased from Ukraine in 1998. It was originally built by the former Soviet Union but was not completed before that country's collapse in 1991. Ukraine disarmed the vessel and removed its engines before selling it to China.
