To be launched this year?

That's almost guaranteed!

Now I care more about: when the 2nd Type 003 could be started? what about Type 004?

It's heard Hertz hop off. No angled deck.

Type 003 is not nuclear.

But I bet 004 will be powered by nuclear.

Type 003 is not nuclear.

But I bet 004 will be powered by nuclear.

no EMAL too?

 

[GS Zhou]

no EMAL too?

There is no official announcement on this. But the consensus among the military fans in China is Type 003 must be using EMALS.

no EMAL too?

I think it will have integrated electric propulsion just like US Zumwalt class, so it has a possibility to have a EMAL
