Shandong

History: Shandong (17; Chinese: 山东舰; pinyin: Shāndōng Jiàn) is a Chinese aircraft carrier that was launched on 26 April 2017 for the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) of the People's Republic of China.[7] It is the country's first domestically built aircraft carrier and second in PLAN service after the completion and commissioning of Liaoning, from which it is derived. Shandong's class was initially suspected to be designated Type 001A (as Liaoning received the designation Type 001) but was revealed to be Type 002 at its commissioning ceremony.[8] The class received the NATO reporting name Kuznetsov Mod. ("modified").

Class: The Type 002 carrier class consists of a single example: Shandong. It is the country's first entirely domestically produced carrier class. The earlier Type 001 was partially built in the former Soviet Union.
