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

.
Pardon if I was not clear enough:

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

The date November 2013 must IMO be related to the Type 001A since this is in fact the first Chinese carrier !?? Or am I wrong.

Otherwise begin of construction of the Type 002 vessel November 2013 would surprise me, since it would mean that already after 4 years of construction nothing was seen so far.

I'm a bit confused now.

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


Hey, can you confirm that J-20s will indeed be the next-generation PLAN fighter, as per this diagram? Thanks.
very unlikely to have J-20 on it```very unlikely```and 002 is not as big as most of you believe```

what excites me was not those ACs or new destroyers````those things that under water are really something!
as those surface ships were well planned long ago, and they will come in time.....but those under the water are really well kept secret, until recently few infos leaked````some of them are "mind blowing"!

By saying "the first Chinese indigenous aircraft carrier" I meant "001A".

The next generation Type 095 SSN and Type 096 SSBN... these nuke subs are the real deterrent powers more than all the surface ships... but giant surface ships have their own merits for showing off forces around (they give good psychological superiority) while the subs are ghost things to the public :-)

Just look on how mighty the 11 CSG sailing around the oceans projecting their muscles though in actual hot war they may be turned into the giant floating coffins by the A2/AD if they ever dare to come into the conflict zones.

I thought they are Chinese underwater greatwall or Chinese Unmanned Subs.

Name of Type "002" confirmed

View attachment 419858


But as far as I understand the corresponding discussion in the Type 001A thread it is in fact related to the carrier, that was launched in April.

So there was no Type 001A and this is already the Type 002 ... making our so far 002 de facto 003 ?

Yes, you are correct.

Sorry, I made a mistake here. Everything is so confusing now.

Right now, my understanding is:
Type 001: CV-16, Liaoning
Type 002: CV-17, Chinese copy of Liaoning
Type 003: CV-18, Conventional (Not sure, some saying Nuclear) CV of 75,000 tons with EMALS

Who is the one invented "Type 001A"??? :sniper:
