The Peoples’ Liberation Army’s Navy’s deployed its first Carrier Air Group based on the Shenyang J-15 Flying Shark carrier-based fighter/intercepter.

Sadly, the PLA Navy has only one modern aircraft carrier, the formerly Russian Admiral Kuznetsov class multirole aircraft carrier Liaoning (16) (Chinese: 中国人民解放军海军辽宁舰; pinyin: Zhōngguó Rénmín Jiěfàngjūn Hǎijūn Liáoníng Jiàn).
