If a Chinese Aircraft Carrier Moves 2 Miles, Is it News?

That didn't take long. The ex-Varyag was moved to the other side of Dalian shipyard today, most likely for the purposes of being fitted out. Based on the 3rd photo below, it looks to me (and I am ready to be corrected) that the carrier has been moved to 38.937131N / 121.611831E, which is about a 2 mile trip by sea.

These are not great resolution, sorry about that. Feel free to speculate, but there is no reason to move the carrier into that spot unless they are ready to do some serious work on the carrier.
