DALIAN, May 13 (Xinhua) -- China's first domestically-built aircraft carrier set out from a dock of Dalian Shipyard, northeast China's Liaoning Province, for sea trials Sunday morning.

It is the country's second aircraft carrier.

The sea trials will maily test the reliability and stability of the carrier's power system and other equipment, sources said.

Construction on the carrier has been carried out as planned since it was launched in April last year, and equipment debugging, outfitting and mooring tests have been completed to make it ready for the trial mission at sea, the sources said.

how many aircraft carriers china plan to complete in next decade

 

[Daniel808]

Please elaborate those.

From What do we know so far about China's 2nd CVBG :

• "The control tower island of the Type 001A is approximately 10 percent smaller than that of the Liaoning.
• It displaces roughly 66,000 – 70,000 tons, a few thousand more tons than the Liaoning.
• It features the advanced Type 346 S-band AESA radar system.
• Its airwing is expected to be slightly larger than that of the Liaoning, featuring around 8 additional aircraft.
• The Type 001A may have an internal arrangement that is better optimized than the Liaoning’s.
• It is expected to be commissioned around 2020."

They'll also practice pairing and crossdecking CV-16 & CV-17. In not too distant future, we'll see pics of them steaming alongside!

Congratulations to China's Navy
For sea trial of their Second Fleet Aircraft Carrier (PLANS Shandong-CVBG 17)

how many aircraft carriers china plan to complete in next decade

Right now, They are building 1 unit Type 003 Aircraft Carrier (said to be have IEPS with EMALS Catapult) and 2 unit Type 075 LHD

If I am not wrong, before 2025 at least they will have 4 to 5 unit Aircraft Carrier Fleet in service or under construction, and 4 to 6 unit Type 075 LHD

that looks one bad A$$ carrier.
congratulation China.

 

[enquencher]

Looks good.
Ne info abt its defensive n offensive weapons.

@LKJ86 @Daniel808

Beware of these @Basel
He is a well known western boot licker. Depise the Chinese and claim Chinese weapon and shipbuilding is low quality compare to UK and US despite debuke many times by us.

It is very obvious the Type002 domestic carrier is different from CV-16, just by looking at the bridge. Even a 3 years old kid can know Type002 is not a carbon copy of it. Pakistan has too many trash like him that worshipped the west and despise themselves and Asian. These are the people that derail the development of pakistan.

Why are you so upset with him.

Pak shipbuilding capabilities is mediocre at best consider how many nations can actually build a huge @ss carrier you need to be less sensitivity about it. Not even SP2012 can build a carrier within 5 years despite having all the support they can get.

Of cos I am upset. Becos China shipbuilding is world class. Fancy of you trying to compare Pak shipbuilding to China. China ship building I dare to say even surpass UK. The terrible UK carrier got a massive leak on her maiden trial. And the ship building crane needed for installing carrier bridge even needs to import from China.

How many countries can build a 12000 tons modern muti role VLS destroyer or a 65000tons aircraft carrier independently? Too many ignorant not knowing how powerful China ship building and advances it is.

Relax, the ignorance cannot change the fact. In this world, the native English people know the realChina much more than many other races, that is why they rule the world. In constrast, the other nations and people are very ignorant, that is why they are ruled by English nation. Although we have firewall to many wedsites, our knowledge is far beyond than the nations without firewall.

2nd aircraft carrier a natural step for China’s navy

Source:Global Times Published: 2018/5/13

China's second aircraft carrier left a port outside the Dalian Shipyard on Sunday morning for its first sea trial, signaling that the production of this domestically built carrier is nearly complete.

But time is still needed for the aircraft carrier to be formally delivered to China's navy.

China's first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, which has served the navy for 13 months, underwent 10 sea trials. Some military experts suggest with the knowledge gained from the Liaoning the new aircraft carrier is likely to see smoother sea trials.

From April's launch to the beginning of sea trials, the carrier is still a product under manufacture. It isn't a part of China's navy until it enters service, and it needs time to acquire combat effectiveness.

China is gradually stepping into an era of dual aircraft carriers. But as a major power, China should have multiple aircraft carriers, which take a long time to build. During the process, we should stay patient and cool-headed.

Among all military services, naval construction is the most sophisticated, most expensive and takes the longest to renew and upgrade to combat effectiveness. The navy is highly representative of a country's comprehensive strength and is a frontier force of a country's deterrence. Aircraft carriers are a comprehensive strategic tool, and the development of them means re-construction of China's armed force.

An upgrade in China's national defense is a huge systematic project, and building new aircraft carriers is merely a small part of it. Military modernization is an expedition, for which the real support is a country's sustainable economic development and technological progresses. China needs at least decades for the achievements of its reform and opening up to be fully reflected in its national defense.

Chinese cherish peace and this is why we should make up for our inadequate national defense. China is already the world's second largest economy, but is still far from being the second largest military power. Such a mismatch means potential risks to peace.

China's continuous economic growth easily attracts geopolitical attention. Its defense capability, if matched with its economic strength, can deter other countries from making dangerous calculations or taking impulsive action against China.

As its national strength enhances, China must take more responsibilities for world peace and stability, which is also what the international community expects from us. To fulfill its obligations, China should be stronger, and a powerful blue-water navy is indispensable.

China lags far behind the US in aircraft carrier strength. Washington has 11 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and more than 70 nuclear-powered submarines. It takes a major power half a century just to build to that level.

China's second aircraft carrier highlights the country's major progress, but it's not an excuse for us to become arrogant or hotheaded. We must be clear about our position while we advance.

China's rise is a long-term test of our confidence, will and wisdom, and we must strive for better performances during the process.
