CV-17 Shandong - Type 002 Aircraft Carrier News & Discussions

[Jugger]

Congratulations, this is way faster than the Indian Navies delivery schedule.
Need to learn from the Chinese how to quickly build aircraft carriers.

 

[帅的一匹]

Okay good.

This is because all the sub system on this ship is indigenous, can't be delayed.

2017 is definitely a great year to PLA Navy. In addition to the launch of this new carrier today, I believe we will see the following events in 2017 too:
- Commissioning of at least two Type 052D destroyers
- Launch of Type 055 destroyer(s)
- Launch of a new Type 071 LPD
- Type 002 carrier started the building in JN Shipyard already. Pictures could be expected.
- Type 075 LHD starts the construction work
- The new nuclear submarine factory in Huludao starts operation

Do I miss anything? I don't want to add information about 054 or 056, otherwise the list would be TOO LONG.

DALIAN, April 26 (ChinaMil) -- The launching ceremony of China's second aircraft carrier was held at the Dalian Shipyard of the China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation(CSIC) on the morning of April 26, 2017. Gen. Fan Changlong, member of the political bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and vice chairman of China's Central Military Commission (CMC) attended the ceremony and delivered a speech.

The ceremony was kicked off in magnificent national anthem at 9:00 and a bottle of champagne was broken on the aircraft carrier as a customary way of blessing the ship. After that, the new aircraft carrier was slowly towed out of the dockyard and transferred to the wharf.

The second aircraft carrier is domestically built by China. China started building it in November, 2013. At present, the main hull of this aircraft carrier has been completed and the main system devices including power supply have been installed in place.

Undocking and launching is one of the important nodes of a new aircraft carrier construction, marking that China has made significant phased achievements in designing and building an aircraft carrier independently. Next, the aircraft carrier will debug its system devices and conduct fitting-out as planned, and start mooring tests in an all-round way.

The PLA Navy Commander Shen Jinlong，PLA Navy Political Commissar Miao Hua, and CSIC President Hu Wenming also attended the ceremony.

My congratulations to the Chinese comrades! This is an outstanding achievement!

Maybe we can cooperate in this field.

It is my hope that the 2nd home-built CV will be launched about the time this one gets commissioned in 2019.

China launches first domestically made aircraft carrier
Newly built 50,000-tonne carrier demonstrates the growing technical sophistication of China's defence industries.

• China has launched its first domestically made aircraft carrier, in a demonstration of the growing technical sophistication of its defence industries.
  
  The 50,000-tonne carrier was towed from its dockyard on Wednesday morning after a ceremony in the northern port city of Dalian.
  
  Development of the new carrier began in 2013 and construction commenced in late 2015. It is expected to be formally commissioned some time before 2020, after sea trials and the arrival of its full air complement.
  
  Reports of the launch said a bottle of champagne was broken across the ship's bow and other craft in the port sounded their horns in celebration.
  
  Like the 60,000-tonne Liaoning aircraft carrier, which was purchased from the Ukraine, the new carrier is based on the Soviet Kuznetsov class design, with a ski jump-style deck for taking off and a conventional oil-fuelled steam turbine power plant.

  The design limits the weight of payloads its planes can carry, its speed and the amount of time it can spend at sea compared with US nuclear-powered carriers.
  
  The main hull of the new carrier has been completed and its power supply put into place. Next up are mooring tests and the debugging of its electronic systems, the defence ministry said.
  
  China is believed to be planning to build at least two - and possibly as many as four - additional carriers, with one of them, the Type 002, reported to be already under construction at a shipyard outside Shanghai.
  
  They are expected to be closer in size to the US Navy's nuclear-powered 100,000-tonne Nimitz class ships, with flat flight decks and catapults to allow planes to launch with more bombs and fuel aboard.

  China has offered little information about the roles it expects its carriers to play, although its planning appears to be evolving as it gains more experience.
  
  The Liaoning was initially touted mainly as an experimental and training platform, but in December was declared to be combat-ready and has taken part in live-firing exercises in the South China Sea, where tensions have risen over China's construction of man-made islands complete with airstrips and military structures.

Congratulations Guys, That's a massive achievement! Keep it up guys!!

 

[Shotgunner51]

My congratulations to the Chinese comrades! This is an outstanding achievement!

Thanks comrade! Both the rebuilt CV-16 and this newly built 001A are Kuznetsov framework, I wish more joint naval drills will be carried out with Admiral Kuznetsov, promote interoperability between the two navies, and perhaps a Sino-Russia Joint-CBG for future missions.

Congrats very fast execution- concept 2013, started building 2015- launched April 2017. Ready by November 2019 Looks like a good design. More to follow in the period 2020 to 2035
