no its deck is not thrust resistant as of now but rumours has it that they will change it for f-35
Ok no F35s that will be fearsome otherwise. I think they will dock either Danang or Camranh for resupply of fresh waters, foods, fuel and if you want: ammunitions
I wonder if Japan will sell such ships?
Does Vietnam has $$$ to sustain continuously overwhelming expenditure for operating Helicopter carriers @Viet
That should not pose a problem considering Vietnam economy is booming. VN government just reports huge surplus in budget in billions of USD.
booming or not but its overwhelming expenditure to sustain with, Italy, Brazil, Egypt are struggling to run their Helicopter carriers, which have the far far more big economy then Vietnam @Viet
Ok we have smaller economy that not going to stop us to make hundreds of warships if necessary. Certainly it is better to spend money on schools instead.
What is you talking about only two countries that would have to build hundreds of warships (USA/Russia) even Chinese don't have this capability mostly they have fast attack boats/ and other small boats, how can Vietnam build hundreds of warships without decent defense budget @Viet
That's a sane opinion @Viet
Bro, your info is a little bit out-dated, You can switch Russia with China..
Still not on par with Russia/USA in term of big ship deployment around the world, USN has total 250 +Big ship, russia has also 100-150 big ship but China getting closer to those figures @Kai LiuBro, your info is a little bit out-dated, You can switch Russia with China..
In this pic alone: 15 type 055 (14,000 ton)/type 052D (7,500 ton) DDGs are built at the same time in a single shipyard:

And yes, @Viet is a clown... You can take his words as hot air...
I am not sure about deployment around the world, but russia today are certainly not on par, check these links, bro:Still not on par with Russia/USA in term of big ship deployment around the world, USN has total 250 +Big ship, russia has also 100-150 big ship but China getting closer to those figures @Kai Liu
You have only 40 more big naval fighting ship then Rus NAVY most of your ship are support ships but you have more destroyers/Frigate than Rus Navy not counting SSBN/SSN/SSGN/SSK @Kai Liu
Not big capital ships as destroyer, I am talking of building hundreds of corvette sized warships. Some people think its difficult but it is not, t’s pretty much like making smartphones. No difference if you make 1 million pieces or 130 million. I recently made a thread about it: VinSmart constructs the second plant with 125 million units a year.
