Hi Herky:
Note the dragon on the upper left corner and the Chinese navy ribbon colors. This is from Wikipedia: "Hull 2 – Liaoning[edit] Main article: Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning The second hull of the Kuznetsov class took a much more roundabout route to active service. Known first as Riga and then Varyag, she was laid down by Nikolayev South Shipyard in 1985 and launched in 1988. Varyag had not yet been commissioned when the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, and was left to deteriorate in the elements. In 1998, the hull was sold by Ukraine to what was apparently a Chinese travel agency for ostensible use as a floating hotel and casino.[13] After an eventful journey under tow, she arrived in China in February 2002 and was berthed at the Dalian naval shipyard, where she was overhauled and completed as China's first aircraft carrier.[14] In September 2012, the ship was commissioned in the Chinese navy as Liaoning,[15] 27 years after the ship was laid down. Liaoning was named after the province where the shipyard is located, and the Chinese ship class is Type 001. Today, she serves as a training carrier and its home port is Qingdao.[16]" |

...I think the Dragon medallion denotes the Chinese topic. There is at least one more in the same series, which appears to cover Russian Carriers.
