Chinese Navy (PLAN) News & Discussions

[Snowden]

The PLAN in 2025, i still think it is a bit conservative, the 003 should also be there, while there should have more the Type 055s than the Type 052Ds. Also, the SSBNs and the SSNs are not included.

And where is the Type 052?

What is the 072?

CSSC built a mock-up module of what could be a candidate in the coming Type 002 CATOBAR aricraft carrier RFP. This competition between CSSC and CSIC might come soon and will be very hard...

We can see in these photos the lift and the trough for catapult.

It seems to be a front part, with some ~51m of beam.

The catapult seems really off to one side and there is only one track. Doesn't seems to be the side angled catapult. Maybe they also have a sky jump head?

Hangar also looks narrow and more like for helicopters.

The hangar looks small because it is a 1:2 mock-up module.

And this catapult is the left side catapult on the angled deck.

China continues to show how they can build a new class of corvette in a very high speed.

The new photos shot today near Dalian Liaonan shipyard shown that 2 new Type 056 have been launched. The last time we got the photos around these 2 ships was on July 21st, this means that the launching was occurred between July 24th and August 2nd.

Since May 23rd 2012, the 4 shipyards building this class of corvettes have already launched 15 ships...

Always in Liaonan shipyard, an another Type 056 is being built, this should be the 5th one built in this shipyard, it also means that it is very possible that this is a Type 056A variant.

And not far in a naval base next to Dalian, we can see the 581 Yingkou ship which was commissionned on August 1st.
