China's first aircraft carrier delivered to the Navy TODAY!

[帅的一匹]

Is there any other carriers built in China now? I'm quite interested in this.

Well, Congratulations China.

Seems the Shipyard only be responsible for testing the ship, all the other subsystem will be tested by Navy, it is a long way to go, all these prove that it is test platform for PLA Navy. To be a realy AC fleet, it is just the beginning, I more hope it will be a Navy school, cultivate more talents for china furture other AC, that's the AC 16 real historic mission!!

I heard someone mentioned J-11 was the fighter of choice in this forum:

Training initially, but could be used as an operational fighter by 2015 or so.

An airwing of around 30 J-15 will be the most powerful after the US CVN's

Excellent Pic!! Its Great ,for China to make at least 10 more of them......

 

[Icecreamcart]

Do you think the J-31 or a variant could show up on carriers eventually? It'll take at least 10 years but I hope so.

Loving the pics.

Actually they will not make similar ones, they are researching for better ACC than this one. CATOBAR or EMALS, nuclear powered and more tonnage than this one. I expect 2 ACC by 2020 with advanced technologies.

Its 1000times better than the 7 out of 8 boiler defect carrier who's fate is still depending on Indian willing to pay ransom fee to Russia.
