Maybe. I find myself wondering what connection this guy's promotion had with the sudden interest in rebuilding the Varyag.
I doubt it......
This guy sounds like he was mostly in logistics and aquisition for Housing, and Capital Projects....
At to the "V", with the history of machinery and other problems that platform has, i'd say it's being set up for nothing more than a training Carrier......
We started with the Langley, even the Chinese have to start somewhere, and they now have extended shipping lines to thier energy sources to protect.......
They are still 20 years away from a real Blue-Water Navy, longer if they can't kick the corruption and cronyism in thier Officer Corps......
