Transport helicopter takes off from China’s new aircraft carrier as sea trial nears
Military observers say warship’s maiden journey is getting closer
An advanced transport helicopter took off from China’s first home-grown aircraft carrier on Saturday, mainland media reported, another sign that it is being prepared for sea trials.
The carrier was launched in April last year, and Zhou, a military commentator on Phoenix Television, said it usually took more than a year to prepare such a ship for sea trials.
He added that China still did not have much experience working with aircraft carriers, and it would take time to coordinate the navy units involved.
