Historical background and application

This ship is an advancement of the Liaoning project (a refitted Soviet aircraft carrier), adapted for modern combat operations in the Far East. Shandong has gained significance during exercises in the South China Sea, where it served as a demonstration of strength and technological progress of the Chinese fleet, as well as a tool for projecting the PRC’s maritime power. The ship has been in use during the modern period, making its debut in the 21st century.
