Liaoning is a Chinese Type 001 aircraft carrier. The first aircraft carrier commissioned into the People's Liberation Army Navy Surface Force, she is classified as a training ship, intended to allow the Navy to experiment, train and gain familiarity with aircraft carrier operations. Originally laid down in 1985, she was built by the Black Sea Shipyard, the sole manufacturer of Soviet aircraft carriers in Mykolaiv.
Soviet's plan was to build two aircraft carriers at the beginning; one is now the Admiral Kuznetsov, the sole Russian navy aircraft carrier, the other one was named Varyag, which had never been completed due to the dissolution of Soviet Union in 1991, the stripped hulk including drawings were eventually sold by Ukraine in 1998 and towed to the Dalian Naval Shipyard located in northeast China.
