The shipyard need to get acquainted with nuclear plants before building nuke powered CV ya? Not a lot of other things to learn from, maybe an icebreaker or two?

As if there were choices... Support a war against China that would destroy everything we enjoyed in life? You do remember what it took to go to war against Japan, and that was when we had so much less to lose LOL. US will never go to war against China, sharing is the only option.

Doesn't take a miracle engine to power a destroyer, it's far from a speedboat race. All Japanese warships built during the war did 35+ knots, didn't help them a bit against F6fs. Sure China had made progresses, some in critical fields, but that is far from demonstrating they had "caught up" ...

That's saying they wanted canards, knowing its drawbacks, and the fact that existing successful designs did not have canards. The Chinese gotta be smarter than that. I think it was a compromise, so the design could achieve certain maneuverability goals without getting the necessary power. In...

What's its intended role? A test platform for submunition artillery shells? A stealth testbed to see if 500t fishing boat shows up on radar? SPY3 carrier? Oh wait, doesn't take a 14thousandton ship to haul a 6 meter radar.... A 3.5billion dollar gun ship that doesn't even have a working gun. If...

This would be 1st of the 2 assembled in China? I don't think China is buying the zubr for the ship itself. They probably needed something to get through a bottleneck somewhere. It does not fit within their doctrine of the amphibious forces, which was modeled off the US marines.. They want LCAC...

FLIGHT III will have 6 meter arrays. That casing, judging by the stanchions (regularly 1.1m tall) is bit over 4 meters. Bigger ships haul bigger radars, and size does matter. China had been needing better muscles...

the missile probably cost as much as the truck

fine example of indian logic. buying a used car = building a car of older specifications yourself

for a country with no prior experience in carrier operations to go straight to nuke and EMALS is improbable. Took the USN 40 years (since building of kittyhawk) to replace all its conventional carriers, and that's after 30 years of carrier operation (including combat operations) and with a...

30cm version has 85km range. 12.2cm version 40km.

one of the 052 destroyers, I think 112, used COGAG.
