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

However, human development has been and always will be relative. When the West is growing below 2% while the world is growing at over 3%, the West is falling behind economically. I will be the first one to admit that.

I agree nonetheless, that India's constant use of China as their benchmark is misguided. India is outperforming all of its poorer neighbors economically and militarily. China has had the fortune of walking the path of Japan and South Korea, while India has carved out its own economic development model. India is also always spoken in the same breath as China in an economic discussion in the West, so we bare some fault too.

Why are you talking about India or economics on this part of this military section? This is about the Chinese carrier, if you want to discuss economics-politics go to the correct section

Hundred of year dream come true, General Zhang zhao Zhong don't cry. General Liu Huanqing can rest in peace. All the grievance you suffer has been cleared.

See this to grasp the context!

Degaussing has began. Degaussing is the process of decreasing or eliminating a remnant magnetic signature of the ship.

A sea-going metal-hulled ship or submarine, by its very nature, develops a magnetic signature as it travels, due to a magneto-mechanical interaction with Earth's magnetic field. It also picks up the magnetic orientation of the earth's magnetic field where it is built. This signature can be exploited by magnetic mines or facilitate the detection of a submarine by ships or aircraft with magnetic anomaly detection (MAD) equipment. Navies use the deperming procedure, in conjunction with degaussing, as a countermeasure against this.

During a closed-wrap magnetic treatment, heavy-gauge copper cables encircle the hull and superstructure of the vessel, and high electrical currents (up to 4000 amperes) are pulsed through the cables.[2] This has the effect of "resetting" the ship's magnetic signature to the ambient level after flashing its hull with electricity. It is also possible to assign a specific signature that is best suited to the particular area of the world in which the ship will operate. In drive-in magnetic silencing facilities, all cables are either hung above, below and on the sides, or concealed within the structural elements of facilities. Deperming is "permanent". It is only done once unless major repairs or structural modifications are done to the ship.

What are they doing lying down on the ski jump?

What are they doing lying down on the ski jump?

IMHO, could be they're inspecting the welding of the bow making sure it is perfectly good for planes to take off

Damnn will you look at that cloud on building in the background :O

Wow. Did a news organization like Russia Today seriously have nothing better to do than posting that?

It's smart PR for a news outlet. Social media users doesn't like to see boring news stuff all the day. Quirky & humorous bits like these keeps them in the current trending & earns more traffic from SM users on that particular niche. There is a reason why RT is doing better than many MSM. Pure business.

The massive dry-dock at Dalian is probably overkill for the 001A. A smaller dry-dock would have sufficed.

That's for sure, this dry-dock can handle one 300,000 tons VLCC or two 055 simultaneously or one 100,000+ tons 003 AC.
