    According to those directions, it's by Kau Yi Chau, the island you pass before you get to Peng Chau (and DB).

    Yes, around there.

    The last couple of times they had big US carriers here (Nimitz a couple of years ago, Ronald Reagan a year before that) they put them pretty close to the bridge, rather than directly on the way to DiscoBay.

    From Central/Sheung Wan, look towards DB and you'll see the carrier

    On a rare day when you can see that far!

    Hey, did you make the trip? I heard there are actually 5 ships in. Would love to take my son out to see them.

    My understanding is that they are parked between Green Island and Disneyland.

    I did go down for a looksee but couldn't find them. The weather was pretty poor last week but I don't think I was looking in the right place.

    I'm sure they'll be back again at some point. Next time I'll be ready...

    They were all clearly visible on the ferry ride over to DB.

    Yeah, I didn't get time to do that unfortunately. Just went over the bridge on my way to Tung Chung.

    Thanks everyone for all your help.
