At least 9 naval exercises are organized in Bohai Bay during the first ten days of November, including one involving the aircraft carrier and one for ASBM (?). East Pendulum @HenriKenhmann 2017.11.06
The Chinese Coast Guard has admitted into active service the patrol ship 46302, class Type 818, at the port of Sanya on 29 October. East Pendulum @HenriKenhmann 2017.11.07

It looks though the workload building the PLAN's nuclear subs has just been doubled.

Has the construction of 09V/09VI even started? The halls do not look ready.

It looks like the new leaders post-19th CPC National Congress really wanna create way more job employment, filling up the shipyards with many orders running high. More plants (yes, expect more new plants and/or expansion), more assets, more and better quality outputs... In that situation, there can be no less jobs to offer, with the side effects more ships (surface and underwater) to come into scene. How to term this? "Economic stimulation through real job creation resulting in more naval assets"... !?It looks though the workload building the PLAN's nuclear subs has just been doubled.
PLA Navy is no doubt one of the most fortunate parties from this latest economic stimulation drive...
No need to be an expert, just put one's own imagination at work to picture the possible future constellations...~~~~~~~~
The CEO of the Bohai Shipbuilding Group, which owns the Bohai shipyard where all Chinese nuclear submarines are made, indicates that the new missions of production will be "multiplied soon".

胡问鸣指出，中国特色社会主义进入了新时代，航母工程建设也要适应“强起来”的新时代要求，坚决贯彻落实党中央、习总书记重要指示精神，让国产航母早日与世界领先水平并驾齐驱，实现从“用起来”、“造起来”到“强起来”的跨越。我国新时代航母发展既要瞄准世界先进水平奋起直追，更要加快颠覆性技术创新、换道超车、勇于超越，满足和适应强国强军、全面建设世界一流军队装备需求。

A loose translation:胡问鸣指出，中国特色社会主义进入了新时代，航母工程建设也要适应“强起来”的新时代要求，坚决贯彻落实党中央、习总书记重要指示精神，让国产航母早日与世界领先水平并驾齐驱，实现从“用起来”、“造起来”到“强起来”的跨越。我国新时代航母发展既要瞄准世界先进水平奋起直追，更要加快颠覆性技术创新、换道超车、勇于超越，满足和适应强国强军、全面建设世界一流军队装备需求。
Hu Wenming --the Chairman of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC), the holding company of Bohai Shipbuilding-- pointed out that the Socialism with the Chinese characteristics has been entering a new era, construction engineering of aircraft carriers has to adapt to the strong or powerful "qualities" to stand up to the beginning of new era, and resolutely implement the important instructions of the highest leadership, to allow the domestic carriers to grow as soon as possible and at the leading level in the world, to keep in pace with the best and be strong accordingly. China's new era of carrier development should aim at the world's advanced level, catch up vigorously, speed up disruptive technological innovation, dare to surpass, have the courage to go beyond, meet and adapt to the comprehensive construction of strong defence, and the equipment requirements of the world-class military force. 加油 天耀中华

China claims breakthrough in electromagnetic launch system for aircraft carrier
By: Mike Yeo 11 hours ago
Trump again bashes EMALS technology
His comments came as he discussed wasteful military spending.
By: Mark D. Faram
The People’s Liberation Army Navy, or PLAN, has been operating a pair of catapults at its carrier training base at Huangdicun since the second half of 2016. The pair are believed to consist of a single steam catapult and one EMALS. The service is evaluating both systems and carrying out test launches using a modified Shenyang J-15 (Flying Shark) carrierborne fighter jet.
The PLAN currently has one aircraft carrier — the Liaoning, which is a refurbished and modernized Soviet-era Kuznetsov-class carrier — in service with another, locally built ship currently fitting out. The latter ship is a slightly modified version of the Liaoning, and both are equipped with a ski jump, which is used to launch the J-15.
However, the use of ski jumps places operational limitations to the PLAN’s carriers, as they are unable to launch larger and heavier aircraft like the U.S. Navy’s E-2 Hawkeye airborne early warning aircraft or the C-2 Greyhound carrier on-board delivery aircraft. The PLAN currently operates a version of the Changhe Z-18 transport helicopter fitted with a multimode active electronically scanned array radar on board the Liaoning as its airborne early warning platform.
However, compared to a fixed-wing turboprop aircraft like the Hawkeye, a helicopter has significantly reduced endurance and operating altitude, which results in a significantly reduced time on station and radar range, respectively.
The new power-generating system could allow PLAN warships to be armed with modern weapons like electromagnetic rail guns and directed-energy weapons. In March, Ma had told state broadcaster CCTV that the “ultimate aim” of his work on the integrated propulsion system was to “solve the problem of deploying high-energy weapons” from its ships.
EMALS works! Carrier Ford completes first flight operations
Off the coast of Norfolk Friday, the Navy's newest aircraft carrier, the Gerald R. Ford, conducted the first-ever at-sea test of the ship's two new electromagnetic flight deck systems.
By: Mark D. Faram
He has also subsequently claimed that China’s EMALS technology was more advanced and more reliable than the system used on the U.S. Navy’s aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford. The Ford marked its first aircraft launches using EMALS during post-commissioning trials in July.
Its development in the U.S. Navy has, however, been beset with problems, particularly concerning reliability while testing modifications of EMALS, which are meant to allow it to launch the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler while carrying external fuel tanks.
