I have reverted
this edit to restore
this version of the article. I think that version is more complete in the details of construction, and contains significantly less uncited text; the other version also has an entirely unreferenced infobox, which appears to be largely copied from
Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning, which is not an exact match for this ship, as the design has been modified.

The diagram for Type 001A has Kuznetsov's cylindrical mast, Kuznetsov's phased arraies, 24 Kinzhal launchers, 8 Kashtan CIWS that were labeled as HQ-10 launchers, 12 Granit ports, and 2 catapults. This poorly-made diagram is probably indicative of the quality of the article.-

All credible sources state Type 001A, not Type 002. Type 002 is CATOBAR design, already under construction and scheduled for commission in the late 2020s. --

I don't know what "credible" sources can or will be more credible than the PLAN's commissioning ceremony attended by President Xi himself.

Thanks! It is at 0:21 specifically, this the same video that I've shared. Since this is the latest confirmation and by the PLAN themselves, I or whoever can change it later on if there are no other legitimate objections or counter-proof.

Is that the class type number or another number? Per
FlightGlobal, among other sources, the Type number is "Type 001A". A flag without any explanation is original research. We have an article at
Type 002 aircraft carrier about the next class, not this one, so let's make sure we're changing the right thing first. -

"002 Aircraft Carrier Commissioning Ceremony" is what it says. The Shandong itself is no.17, thus 002 is now the class type number. Chinese net have long refer "001A" as 002 for months now. Even a Singaporean Chinese paper and HK newspaper calls it the "type 002".
*PLA's official web shows this same video we've showed, the ceremony was done by the PLAN and attended by President Xi and broadcast by CCTV as mentioned, it is as authoritative a source as it can be. I don't think we can place any sources above the PLAN's own designation nor call it "original research", are we now saying the PLAN is not a credible source over what it calls its own ships?
