Chinese Naval Power Growing: Third Modern Aircraft Carrier to Be Launched Soon

Type 003 PLAN

China will soon have another aircraft carrier.  Chinese shipbuilders are currently manufacturing the aircraft carrier at the Hudong-Zhonghua Shipyard in Shanghai. It is also noteworthy that this event is steeped in symbolism because the CPC was founded in 1921 by Chen Duxu in Shanghai. It was decided to postpone the ceremony to July 1, the day of the founding of the PLA. The aircraft carrier is called “Type 003 PLAN”.

The aircraft carrier is unique. It belongs to the second generation of Chinese aircraft carriers. It uses the CATOBAR system (a system that launches fighters into the air with a catapult) and electromagnetic launching catapults. This system was designed at various Chinese military bases.

Type 003 PLAN

The Type 003 benefits over previous generations due to its built-in electric propulsion system, which allows the ship to be faster. Type 003 is about 320 meters long and 78 meters wide. The ship’s payload has not been revealed, but according to media and military analysts, it is about 100 tons.

One such analyst once stated that “this will be the largest and most technologically advanced aircraft carrier to be built outside the United States.”

The aircraft carrier houses about 40 fighters, several transport propeller planes, and long-range radar detection and control aircraft. A new KJ-600 long-range radar detection and control aircraft is expected to be on board. Both in the role and overall shape it is very similar to the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye. Other new aircraft are expected to include an aircraft carrier version of the FC-31 stealth fighter. Its full-size mockup recently appeared at the Wuhan Proving Ground. It will be generally equivalent to the F-35C Lightning-II Ford Classes. However, it has two engines and possibly a larger internal weapons compartment. There is no exact information on the technical specifications, as the Beijing is in no hurry to share all the details.

Development of the Type 003 aircraft carrier began in 2010 when one of the PLA admirals said that the aircraft carrier would have an electromagnetic launch system. Then this development was abandoned, but in 2013 it was renewed. The process was very long because of the research on steam catapults. In 2017, the basic modules were almost finished. In 2020, the modules were moved to the bridgehead and docks. At the end of 2020, the modules came together. Chinese analyst sources predicted that the ships would be launched in 2021, but in fact, it happened in 2022.

This ship is very innovative in military and technical terms. China currently has 3 such ships. These ship models can significantly strengthen the PLA’s southern fleet. It could increase China’s strength in the South China Sea.

Russia and China are anti-white. They are pro-jewish, pro-israel, and pro-globalism too. Mark Collet and others are paid to shill for them.

The Septuagint and Old Testament are examples of ancient Zionism.

Haven’t seen a retard like you @GayPride1968.

China man wants revenge for the opium war and want to weaken the white world (they don’t act like niggs ‘kill whitey” but nevertheless they want to weaken us).

Dugintard like you deserve the lead (and i mean by that the bullet).

China is steadily working away as the US and the west get totally distracted over a few regions of Ukraine that have unfinished business following the western led coup there. The more I look at it – the initial Kiev approach, it does look like Russia wanted to deliberately shake things up, to both destabilise Ukraine and to trigger an over reaction from the west, in order to get them sucked in and distracted. The bear is occupying the west nicely, while its tag partner is building towards greater military capability and a GDP to dwarf the US.

003将在6月下旬下水,要形成战斗力可能需要3年的时间。中国可以突破岛链进入太平洋的更深处。中国和南太平洋的诸岛国之间的合作也会越来越紧密。太平洋不会是美国的后院了

Spending so much on aircraft carriers doesn’t seem prudent in this modern day and age of hypersonic missiles. Just my opinion but I would reckon that an aircraft carrier and many aircraft will go down very quickly from just one of these missiles, causing a huge loss of aircraft, weapons and manpower.
