Second Chinese carrier construction announced; J-15 made carrier landing

Both news are from official government media.

Firm that equipped the Liaoning is set for wave of new orders

The company that played a key role in equipping China's first aircraft carrier is ready to build more "seagoing airbases", its chairman said.

"China is the only one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council not to have an aircraft carrier wholly developed by itself," said Hu Wenming, chairman of China State Shipbuilding Corp.

The company is a major designer and maker of the aeronautical support system for the Liaoning, China's first aircraft carrier, which was refitted from the Soviet Union's Varyag warship.

The Liaoning was commissioned on Sept 25.

【环球时报记者 马 俊 刘 扬】“歼-15舰载战斗机今日在‘辽宁舰’上圆满完成着舰试验，成功降落。”20日，中国军事网站和微博上流传的这一说法引起网友的热烈欢呼。尽管该消息并没有透露确切来源，也尚未得到官方证实，但此前外界普遍猜测，中国航母距离“完成舰载机起降”这个形成战斗力的标志性事件只有一步之遥。《环球时报》记者20日就此向中国国防部求证，但直至发稿时，相关消息仍未得到确认。

　　“辽宁舰”于本月10日早晨5时左右出航进行此轮海试。由于香港《南华早报》8日曾援引中船重工701研究所国家航母工程副总设计师吴晓光的话称，“辽宁舰”即将进行实战降落测试，最快可能会于本月或下月开始。因此外界纷纷猜测，“辽宁舰”这次海试很可能就将进行舰载机起降测试。此前中国军方已证实舰载机在“辽宁舰”上完成多次“通场试验”和“模拟着舰试验”。

We will pull it off very quickly, as i said before.

Doesn't say they are building carriers. The shipbuilding company is claiming they are ready to build one.

In China, this is as close to official announcement you're going to get. Remember this is a state owned company. You don't announce you are ready to build unless you've been granted permission to talk by higher-ups.

The crew for carrier need some year to be trained, I don't think domestic Carrier can be inducted before 2015, the big mission among these time is that training encough crew for carrier and pilot that can fly from and land on the carrier, and learn how to manage the life and work, develop and improve it.
For me the domestic carrier, whether be mounted EMALS and Nuclear power is my concern, from the offical, it will be mounted EMALS, so the question is whether it will be NUCLEAR POWERED.
But, first, hope we can have encough and well-trained pilot for them first.

I would put the year around 2018 incase of nuclear powered ACC.

What I'm thinking is that the crews on Liaoning will be transferred over to the new carrier once they learn the ropes of operating a carrier battle group. Since construction was just announced, it will be at least 3 to 4 years before the ship would be delivered. That's plenty of time to get the sailors up to speed.

 

[Fleet Master]

Is this one will be nuclear carrier or conventional.. New built!!

 

[帅的一匹]

We are not worry to get the new one inducted, cause PN is not an aggresive force.

Understandable but credible deterrence is what every Navy is looking for may it be in the Future. Chinese Navy need not waste resources to get 1 VS 1 ACCs to US but I would still put 5 ACCs to be the requirement of Navy in the Future. By default ACCs have been requirement for PLANAF.

Another STOBAR carrier (replica of Varyag) means that no carrier-borne AEW plane in forseeable
future.

indians looking to get owned again. from this pic below and what the shipbuilder hinted out.. more than enough clues of of what type of carrier going to get built :lol

Hu Wenming suggested the country develop carriers using what he called catapult stroke technology on the flight deck.

Planes on the Liaoning utilise a ski-jump takeoff.

"It is very difficult for fixed-wing Air Early Warning aircraft to use a ski-jump takeoff, and on such a carrier you can only use helicopters for early warning, which actually compromises early warning," he said.

Probably a tech demostrator. Look at the rusted aiframe of metals, you seriously dont think
it can sustain a carrier landing do you?

 

[SamranAli]

congratz but how many China is looking to get as of now?

 

[Beast]

You indian also claim varyag is an rusty hull when haul back from ukrarine. Look what happen today?

China is capable of anyhing in technology achievement.
