This may help you out a little bit ‘on becoming commander in chief of the Chinese navy in 1982, Liu initiated at the navy’s Shanghai Research Institute a feasibility study on the design and construction of an aircraft carrier. Models were constructed and tested in the institute’s six-hundred-meter (656-yard) pool and at Tai Lake in Jiangsu Province.’ http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0JIW/is_1_57/ai_113755343
I actually stumbled upon this place one day while taking a drive outside of shanghai. It was definitely a WTF kindof moment. It looked to me like a bazzaro version of Disneyland crossed with a naval training centre.
