Chinese Navy (PLAN) News & Discussions

I still remember that moment! I almost stopped the breath the moment that I saw the picture of Type052C for the first time! Cannot believe my eyes!!The baby ship had the positions to carry four Aegis-alike radars, but, but it looks too beautiful to be true!!! The similar moment happened again in 2010 when the picture of J20 firstly leaked in internet.

I don't know when such "WOW" moment could happen again. Maybe the time to see PLAN's first 100,000 ton nuclear-powered carrier with EM catapult systems??

Coming from more modest mind, I will say "WOW" for the 3rd CV launching (whatever the carrier-based aircraft launching system: Steam or EMALS / power system: conventional or nuke; as long as size & displacement >> Liaoning) and then for every successive CV launching...

I'll say "WOW" too for the launching of the helicopter carrier

as well as the Type 075 landing helicopter dock

and any known Next Gen submarine - SSN & SSBN

as well as Type 052E and of course Type 055... any big naval surface asset entitles to get a "WOW" IMO just an appreciation knowing how challenging and costly to build one (just see the case of other naval forces even the USN)... I simply don't want to take it for granted!!

building such ship is a pure waste of money. We are still a developing country, we should spend our budget more wisely!!!

It's a training ship ... probably does not cost much anyways. What is a pure waste of money is spending 8000 dollars on an aircraft carrier toilet from one *ahem* specific superpower ...

it isn't a waste, it is a training ship and it also promote soft power. Many navies in the world have it and they use it to train their sailors and visiting other countries to establish relationship. In fact, it amazed me that it took China that long to have one. It is just too bad that China didn't choose Chinese traditional ship, but instead a western style. They really missed a good chance to showcase Chinese ancient world class shipyard technology. Whoever made that decision should be fired.
