China Central Television exposes the recent sea trials pictures of China's aircraft carrier on July 16, 2012.
China's aircraft carrier has set out from Dalian in the northeastern province of Liaoning on sea trials that will last 25 days, the longest yet, and experts say domestic J-15 fighters may be involved in landing and takeoff exercises.
The carrier is capable of carrying around 30 fixed wing fighters and helicopters and a crew of around 2,000.
