Interesting... did some other searching, mainly because the original link didn't have much info. I found this article:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/aug/10/china-aircraft-carrier-luxury-hotel Turns out the carrier is an overhauled Soviet model... and they bought two. They were supposedly purchased for the entertainment industry. The first, the one in the original link, has apparently been drafted into military service. The second is a floating hotel. I've lived on a carrier... unless they gutted the hell out of her they aren't going to get much in the way of berthing! Until Later! C.
