    China's first domestically built aircraft carrier has entered into service following

    ... a commissioning ceremony at a South China Sea naval base.




    • The aircraft carrier Shandong is the first to be manufactured in China
    • China now has two aircraft carriers, while the United States has 10
    • Beijing launched the Shandong in the South China Sea, where it is involved in territorial disputes
    Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago ...

    The big US boats have shopping malls and food courts inside.

    This probably has a couple of noodle stalls.
