China's aircraft carrier anchors in military port

QINGDAO, Shandong, Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- China's first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, anchored for the first time in a military port in Qingdao, eastern Shandong province on Wednesday morning.

The anchoring marks that the aircraft carrier bay in Qingdao, which was built following a four-year construction, has already had logistic capacities, according to a statement from the military.

The Liaoning left the wharf of Dalian ship building company on Tuesday for Qingdao. It had conducted tests on its weapon system during the sail.
