Chinese Concrete Aircraft Carrier

I'm a bit confused why the Chinese would build a concrete carrier for display purposes. As far as I know,...they don't have a functioning, operable carrier within their navy. Of course they're displaying an SR-71 Blackbird,....which they don't have either. But maybe they will within a few short years.....
 
Someone in the US made a cement boat a number of years ago in their backyard. It made the news when they hauled it to the water on a 18 wheeler flat bed. It didn't sink.
 
Thanks, Brad. I was just about to post the same link! Concrete ships are nothing new, that's for sure... ;)

As long as there is enough draft water pressure will equalize and support anything as long as it's designed properly regardless of what it's built out of.
 
I remember a show on the History channel about a carrier made of ice and sawdust, that was really cool!
 
Coolio!

I especially like the Oriental Pearl. I could spend all day up there watching the life below me going about its ways...
