CV-18 Fujian - Type 003 Aircraft Carrier News & Discussions

[Akasa]

Exhibits showing three different designs in Navy Hall designed the the magazine "Ship Knowledge".

“铭记光辉历史 开创强军伟业——庆祝中国人民解放军建军90周年主题展览”中的模型看舰岛很小，明显没有烟囱应该是核动力，印象中这个展览还是挺靠谱的，展示的基本都是现役装备，应该不会随便胡扯一个模型展览吧，难道真是军迷称谓的003航母？
还有这次海军馆是《舰船知识》编辑部负责内容设计与创意策划的“军博海军装备技术馆”

Is that a model of the J-20 on the deck?

The model in the first and second figure is official, which President Xi watched recently in the exhibition.

Model in the first two figures is of CVN Type 003. This model is official, and it is probably what 003 will be.

Model in the third figure is from another exhibition, and that one is not so official.

So, please focus on the model in first two figues. Becase this is prepared by PLAN for the President.

Is that a model of the J-20 on the deck?

Probably

Acturally, MOD please consider start a Type 003 thread.

李杰表示，近几年，海军装备的更新换代，首屈一指的应该是航母，无论是辽宁舰的改装和应用已近五年，还是001A型航母在今年的下水，以及采用弹射式起飞的002型航母可能在今年年底下水，这样的发展速度真是举世瞩目。

Li Jie said that in recent years, the navy equipment upgrading, leading should be the carrier, whether modification and application of Liaoning ship has been nearly five years, or 001A type aircraft carrier in this year's launch, and the 002 aircraft carrier catapult takeoff may launch at the end of this year, the pace of development is really remarkable.

But he also insisted that the Type 002 will still use the steam catapult. If the Type 002 still uses the steam catapult, then the EMALS would be reserved for the future Type 003.

And the rear Admiral Ma has clearly confirmed that the Type 002 is now ready for the EMALS. With the Type 002 being postponed for the EMALS, I doubt we could see the Type 002 being launched in this year, but being laid down on the dry dock is more likely.

It was first revealed by a staff of Jiangnan Shipyard before the launch of 055.

Then I must have missed it. So if it was revealed before the 055's launch (on 28. June), when was that event of first "steel cutting"?

Any info, Type 002 AC will use EMALS Catapult or Steam Catapult one, sir?

Let's look forward to 2020

If we assume a similar timeline for the Type 002 as seen with the Type 001A vessel, I would expect something like this:

Very diplomatic answer
Hope in 2020 you still active in here, looking forward for your answer in the future.

But for myself, I will place my bet to EMALS one

If we assume a similar timeline for the Type 002 as seen with the Type 001A vessel, I would expect something like this:

What I heard from many people, Jiangnan Shipyard is more efficient than Dalian Shipyard

Doesn't know it's true or not, but I hope it's true.

Henri K. is suggesting that the J-20 has a much higher chance of serving onboard

It was first revealed by a staff of Jiangnan Shipyard before the launch of 055.

Hey, can you confirm that J-20s will indeed be the next-generation PLAN fighter, as per this diagram? Thanks.

According to state media, the construction of the first Chinese indigenous aircraft carrier began in November 2013.

No. However, the start of the construction implies that the technical design of the carrier was finished and approved, and those key characteristics of the next generation carrier-based fixed-wing were as well specified. Thus I suppose PLAN has already had an ideal image of the fighter in its mind.

But is statement is related to the Type 001A !
