several Russian carriers have been sold to China, I understand an old WW-2 American carrier was sold to China (by Australia?) for scrap. Its deck was moved to land, and Chinese pilots practice landing on it.

OK, I've kept out of this nonsence until now but I've got to ask the obvious question. Why in God's name would you move the flight seck to land in order to practice landings? Wouldn't it make more sense to take a secion of runway, mark out the dimensions, and practice on that?
