STORYLINE:
Turkey has let a half-built aircraft carrier pass through the Bosporus after sixteen months of negotiations with the ship's owners.
Tugboats hauled the carrier through the strait, after the ship had spent the 16 months circling the Black Sea while its Chinese owners sought clearance from Turkey to pass through.
The operation forced Turkey to shut down the narrow waterway, one of the world's busiest, to other boats wanting to travel the sole sea route between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.
Six tugboats towed the engineless, rudderless Varyag on its six-hour passage through the Bosporus.
A total of 11 boats were in the convoy, including hospital ships, firefighters and rescue vessels.
On shore, emergency rescue units followed the carrier on both sides of the strait, and a military helicopter hovered above monitoring the grey giant.
The head of Istanbul's shore security and marine rescue service, Hucum Tulgar afterwards called it a successful operation.
The 309-metre (1,020-foot) Varyag is bound for the South China Sea.
A Macau-based firm bought the ship from the qUkraine with plans to turn it into a floating, leisure centre.
But Turkey, fearing an accident, had refused to let the ship through.
Turkey only relented after months of negotiations, weeks of technical preparations and anxious days studying weather forecasts.
Turkish officials were afraid that the Bosporus currents could spin the Varyag around and run it ashore, blocking the strait to all shipping for an unforeseeable period.

we thank Greece for helping us bring this carrier back to China, one greek tug boat staff died during this mission.
after 16 years, this rotten metal was turned live again.
It's not easy to realize how big these aircraft carriers are until you see them up close Or in videos like this.
We Chinese thank the Greeks for their help this time
@@downanflim4473Turkey did nothing but asked 1 billion security deposit from China or they wouldn’t let it pass the strait. Greece helped solving this issue
Future Chinese first aircraft carrier
Turkey should have purchased this ship.
It could have help Turkey built its own fighter carrier. Also huge boost to local companies.
Too bad China won the bid
Its not needed. Carriers are for Oceans. So buying one would be waste of money.
Also Turkey has the Geographical adventage. With a fine collection of Planes and Drones, you can reach anywhere from Turkey.
u think buy a half finished one and it will automatically become a new one? NO u need the same technology of building it up from scratch or even harder than building it from scratch
Turkey is not an ocean country. Our locally built LHD ships are enough for Turkey. Our military budget wouldn't handle a black hole of money such as an aircraft carrier anyways. The passage of this ship happened for a reason; the Chinese gave some of their ballistic missile know-how to us, and we have built our entire program after that in 20 years, and now finally have the ability to produce our own ballistic missiles.
Looks like Russian carrier Kuznetsov ?
Yeah. before fall of soviet, this ship should be another Soviet's aircraft carrier from kuznetsov class. In 1998, ukraine sold this ship and then China bought it. China upgraded this ship and now become Liaoning
China's first aircraft carrier. china paid a lot of money and other things to turkey to go through. under the pressure of US, it took decades to conduct the plan.
china didin't pay money. they gave 1 billion guarantee letter against potential damage to the bosphorus. and they promised of sending a few millions of tourists but later they didin't obey their promise.
Also, they bought this ship by using a fake tourism company to persuade the world that this ship was going to be used as a fun centre.
Chinese promises are as fake as their products.
superturka funny,China buy the old carrier with money,and this a legal commercial business,who give you and the rest of the world fucking authority to judge China only can use this carrier for entertainment use? You owen the explanations of the the world regulation?
Go shit hell

İt is the first and last aircraft carrier in China
They already built their own idiot
lmao and now they have 2 more in production, one possibly nuclear powered
It's 2022, China already has three aircraft carriers, and there will be more.
Wdym the last one

Geeeeezzz!!! She can't even sail under it's own power!!!!! If THAT doesn't send a signal to the Russian Naval high command. Then, please, by all means, tell me what does!!!!
