China's Aircraft Carrier started Sea Trials today!

[below_freezing]

Racist comment, how does that even relate to anything in the thread? Bottom line? This is China's first aircraft carrier, the US has had aircraft carriers since th early 1900s. You can say whatever dergoatory comments you want to, the facts are the facts. US military technology > China PERIOD.

I am not a racist. American is not a race it is a nationality. Unlike race, it can be changed by personal will, and therefore is not binding the way race is. Here is the source:

Also, I find it laughable that you think carriers of the early 1900's are comparable in complexity to carriers today. South Korea can also make a 1900's, or even 1940's level carrier. Does that make South Korea a naval superpower, comparable to USA during 1940's?

Congrats to our chinese brothers. They should have at least in the region of 50 of these. If american population justifies having about 12.

Yep, after we build two more conventional carriers, then the following ones all gonna be nuclear.

The world of Western hegemony and is about to end. Europe is in economic turmoil, America is in the same boat with it's credit rating downgraded, and England is burning with riots.

Do you know if the future Chinese aircraft carrier will be using the newer thorium nuclear power by any chance or will it be conventional reactor?

Dalian is fing noisy.

Likely not. Thorium reactors are still under-development in China.

It is under development right now.

Safe nuclear does exist, and China is leading the way with thorium - Telegraph

BTW, these people sugggest a possible a Chinese version of the A1B class reactor that generates much more electric power than the Nimitz's A4W class reactor.

Interesting read thanks for sharing. How long before the first A1B reactor is constructed and be ready?

China to start landing drills on carrier​

Sunday, August 14, 2011





BEIJING: The Chinese military could late on Saturday launch air exercises on the nation’s first aircraft carrier which was unveiled earlier this week, state media reported.

The manoeuvres could include aircraft approaching the ship, landing and then quickly taking off again, the Global Times newspaper said, citing a military source said to be closely involved with the landing drills.

The aircraft carrier embarked on its inaugural sea trial on Wednesday, prompting the United States to call for an explanation amid concerns about the nation’s military expansion. Beijing only recently confirmed it was revamping an old Soviet ship to be its first carrier and has sought to play down the vessel’s capability, saying it will mainly be used for training and “research”.

The Global Times report said that radio restrictions have been imposed in a maritime zone off the coast of the country’s northest Liaoning province where the carrier is docked.

The planes being used for the drills are the Shenyang J-15, a Chinese version of Russia’s Sukhoi Su-33 Flanker, it added.

The US, unfortunately, is still not learning to live cooperatively with other nations.

It is following against the advice of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson to become an isolationist nation with a limited military protecting its own borders, but rather behaving like the same King George that Americans overthrew.

Its crimes dictate that it will be repaid 100 fold in the near future.

Hopefully before 2020, since recently China has some groundbreaking improvement in its SSBN reactor.
