Today, some netizens revealed that the Minsk aircraft carrier, which was previously docked in Shenzhen, appeared in the waters of a park under construction in Nantong, Jiangsu. It was suspected to be on fire and thick smoke was coming out.

According to previous reports, the Minsk aircraft carrier was "transferred" from Shenzhen to Nantong in 2016 and docked on the west side of the northern wing of the Sutong Bridge. According to data, the Minsk aircraft carrier was once owned by the former Soviet Navy, served in 1978, and was sold to South Korea's Daewoo Heavy Industries Group after being retired in 1993. In 1998, a Chinese company took over the Minsk and built an aircraft carrier military theme park in Yantian District, Shenzhen. In January 2013, Dalian Yongjia Group bought the Minsk aircraft carrier. The following year, the group signed an investment agreement for an aircraft carrier tourism resort with Nantong Sutong Science and Technology Industrial Park (now Suxitong Science and Technology Industrial Park). According to Nantong's "Jianghai Evening News", Yongjia Group plans to develop in depth based on the theme of aircraft carriers and combined with Nantong's resources, and promote "To see aircraft carriers, go to Nantong". The first phase of the aircraft carrier theme park will open in 2017, but the plan was not realized within the specified time.
