The China Navy Third Fleet Carrier Battle Group Named PLANS FUJIAN 福建舰 (CVBG-18) Officially Launched !

[Daniel808]

I am aware. The more I learn about the details of the ship's design and development process, the more I admire the project. As a navy aficionado, I believe this ship and 004 will have a very long place in future history books under the heading of balancing the sea hegemony of the USN. China has not just acquired a platform. It has successfully crossed a very important technical threshold.

You guys also have a good start with Anadolu, Kudos for both countries Let's break western monopoly in this field together

China originally planned to use Steam Catapults onboard CVBG-18.

But Thanks to the breakthrough back in 2017 made by Electromagnetic Naval Engineer, Rear Adm. Ma Weiming and his teams.

China’s Navy decided to skip Steam Catapults and goes directly to EMALS Catapult. Not only that, they also decided to skip unreliable & troublesome Alternating Current (MVAC) EMALS [like in the US ford class] and goes directly to more reliable & stable Direct Current (MVDC) EMALS [China’s Navy CVBG-18]

That’s why CVBG-18 undergo major redesign for almost 2 years (2017-2019) before starting construction again.

The launch platform is the most part of an AIRCRAFT CAREER ,it's a carrier of aircraft after all ,with sole purpose of launching fighter. And since China has superior EMALS ,and nothing pivotal as inferior,we can say type 003 is one of the best AC in the world right now or upon commissioning. An aircraft career with an unreliable launching mechanism is like a hen that can't lay eggs as required.The lack of nuclear power generation limits operational area,but type 003 was always meant for operation in asia,for that it's sufficient.
Once type 004 becomes nuclear, it will be the undisputed best AC in the world.

This is a good example of how copying someone's homework doesn't mean you understand the material. The US carriers that use EM catapults are nuclear powered, meaning there is almost an unlimited amount of electrical power available and makes sense.Nuclear-powered Ford and Nimitz-class ships have much more free storage capacity so they can store more jet fuel, weapons, and so on. While the Chinese carrier is fossil fueled so it normally would have an excess amount of steam and therefore should use steam catapults instead. The EM cats require vast amounts of electricity, meaning you'll be stressing the boilers to drive generators for electricity (losing efficiency) to use the cats. This will limit the sortie rates and cause more frequent fuel replenishment (thus limiting range or station time). This carrier is far from being operational anytime soon. The Chinese do have experience with carrier operations they have been for the past 10 years. But going from a ramp style to a catapult launch system is a very large step and one they are not familiar with.
US navy has been using catapult launch for decades and are the best in the world in carrier operations. Not just in ship board operations but also in aviation operations. China's propulsion technology is still several generations behind. Still using steam turbines when a lot of newer ships are going IEP and older generations of ships using gas turbines

Since when US have Direct Current (MVDC) EMALS onboard their ship? So, I wonder who copying who

And for China's Navy CVBG-18 they indeed use IEPS to compensate their Conventional power

But this China CVBG-18 is not to bring aircraft. this ship is to bring container all over the world for exporting goods So, as indian you can relax with your oldie small Aircraft Carrier.

[S10]

China will have at least 10 aircraft carriers in the future

No need for that many, 6 to 8 would be more reasonable. I actually want China to maintain a smaller navy than US, but update our equipment at a faster rate.

US needs the carriers to project power throughout the globe. For China, it's limited to Taiwan, South China Sea and shipping lanes in Indian Ocean

The aircraft carrier 001 is called "Liaoning", the aircraft carrier 002 is called "Shandong", and the aircraft carrier 003 is called "Fujian".

Then we can infer that the 004 aircraft carrier will be called "Taiwan",
the 005 aircraft carrier will be called "Xinjiang",
the 006 aircraft carrier will be called "Heilongjiang",
the 007 aircraft carrier will be called "Guangdong",
and the 008 aircraft carrier will be called "Jiangsu".

"Liaoning" commemorates the Japanese invasion of Shenyang, Liaoning Province on September 18th, 1931, when the Second Sino-Japanese War broke out.
"Shandong" commemorates the 1895 First Sino-Japanese War, when Japan invaded Weihai, Shandong Province.
"Fujian" commemorates the French invasion of Mawei Port in Fujian in 1884.
Then the "Taiwan" should commemorate the Japanese invasion of Taiwan in 1874.
"Xinjiang" commemorates the Russian invasion of Xinjiang in 1860,
"Heilongjiang" commemorates the Russian invasion of Heilongjiang in 1858,
"Guangdong" commemorates the second Opium War in 1856,
"Jiangsu" commemorates the first Opium War in 1840, the beginning of China's century old humiliation.

Nanjing, Jiangsu Province in 1840 was the beginning of our century of humiliation. According to the current warship manufacturing speed, our eighth aircraft carrier will be launched around 2049. The year 2049 marks the centenary of the founding of PRC. CCP is telling us in this way that they have never forgotten our century old humiliation, and they have never forgotten the mission of rejuvenating China.

1840 to 1940, a HuaXia century of humiliation.
1949 to 2049, a HuaXia century of revival.

Laughable Indians as always

Learn what integrated electric propulsion is first. Actually, find a working toilet first, before you dump your shit on the internet.

Nope,the name of the carrier is a honor to the province,taiwan is not gonna be one of it before reunification.

Honestly, China targeting to more than 10 Fleet Carriers for long term (2035-2040). Because, Chinese interests is growing in all over the world. And they need to keep that Sea Lanes secure from threats (Conventional & Unconventional).


But Fleet Carriers (Like CVG-16, CVBG-17, CVBG-18, and so on.....) only move to the hot spot location if needed.
For Patrolling and maintaining presence purpose, they will use Type 076 Medium Carrier & Type 075 LHD that more cost efficent to operate.

Absolutely clueless post. No wonder your aircraft carrier and lunar moon landing are all flops. Can't even get basic right first.

Indian trying to teach Chinese how to run EMALS and IEP ? Get their first "supposedly" indigenously designed and made aircraft carrier running first, it has been 20 years now. Haha !

 

[avenuepark57]

Quite strange, that they don't have this in straight line. I found it before, wanted to get better image to see if it's true.
any idea why its like that? Design not properly copied?

So indian aircraft carrier I guess don't have angle deck and is all straight like WWII aircraft carrier?

Look at these sourgrape loser. I know it's difficult to accept Indian crap shipbuilding which can't even innovate and produced anything meaningful. What? Indian still produced jump ski bow carrier and not catapult carrier?

You shall go study what is IEP and MEVDC before come back and have a meaningful conversation with us.
