For those following the continuing development and re-outfitting of the former Russian carrier Varyag in the Chinese naval shipyards, this photo should prove very interesting: That new yellow painting on the deck is a special primer used (normally) for laying down a non-skid surface on the deck of the carrier. If this proves to be true...then that is another clear indication that the Chineze intend to commission her militarily and to operate military combat aircraft off of her decks. This development is in addition to the two new carriers the Chinese have announced they wikk be building of their own.
