Amazing! Hope to see the global naval power balance slowly change over time.

Does China now have a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with a catapult system / flat deck as well?

Type 003 is flat deck with electromagnetic catapult, but it's not nuclear powered, Type 004 which is under construction now reportedly a nuclear powered.

Stunning progress. Congrats!

4 catapults and 3 elevators on the Type 004?

With nuclear propulsion, the island will get a lot smaller and probably moved back to maximize deck space like the Ford Class Carriers.

Any indication if the carrier will be larger considering the berthing/dry dock on Hainan supposedly looks to only be large enough for a Type 003 sized Carrier?

Also according to the video the carrier has Gas turbine engines/generators along with Diesel engines/generators? Does that mean it doesn’t have boilers as on the two current carriers?

It's going to have a US CIWS?

China's manufacturing capability is incomparable to any nation in history,when US makes a jet carrier,it's basically the combined effort of manufacturing capabilities and technologies of all of the western vassals and japanese /korean industries.
Only China is the nation that can substitute every step and possess the whole chain of manufacturing.
If the alliance faltered US wouldn't be even able to live to fight war for couple of days.Hence US resorts to subverting nations and creating states little more than vassal that would adhere to each of Washington's whim,this is a very weak state ,United States,how long can they run with such cheap tricks?

This Type 003 (CVBG-18) will be using EMALS Catapult System despite Conventional powered (using High-Tech IEPS Technology to circumvent that)


This Chinese Newest Super-Carrier also would make US ford class like yesterday tech (because they using more primitive MVAC for their EMALS). While China using more High-Tech & Reliable MVDC for their EMALS.

Thank you. Great news!

no boilers. according to the video, 150mw of power generated from 2 turbine and 4 diesel generators with all new DC voltage integrated power system. The DC voltage integrated power system is all new tech that even the US doesn't have and according to video improves efficiency by 20% (I'm guessing over AC voltage IPS?).

So when will 004 finally be built?

If this lineup is actually built, then the PLAN will have 3 full carriers but also 3 light carriers; the type 076 LHA would be equivalent to the USS America LHA which can launch the F-35B. This could indicate China is developing a similar aircraft or at least the drone equivalent of a STOVL Fighter or Loyal wingman.

Also interesting will be the Type 054B; a possibly future acquisition by the PN

Furthermore, what has always been interesting to me is China doesn’t retire its oldest ships, even when building so many ships at full speed. Perhaps they have so many slots to fill with their expanding mission requirements and the older ships are well broken in, so why “rock the boat” if you pardon the pun.

So when will 004 finally be built?

IMHO, Construction is probably already underway on subsystems like the propulsion, but they are probably waiting to see how the Type 003 performs in sea trails to modify the design and then go into production on the Type 004.

Will the J-35 be deployed on the two older carriers? It could make sense even more as the space is limited on those two carriers and it would be a good way to test for modifications to determine what is required of a fighter for the Type 076 LHA (even if the Type 076 will have an emals, the design will need to have enough space for deck landings by light stealth aircraft; manned or unmanned)
