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

[Deino]

I just changed the thread's name to:

Type 002 (former Type 001A) Aircraft Carrier News & Discussions

I also deleted the CV-17 and Shandong until a name is official; ok ?

Ok ... but can we then assume the so far called 002 will be 003 ?

That's a very definite possibility.

So the "rumour" that JN has started construction on Type 003 CV is not groundless after all.

I guess the guy you quoted might just nail it.

This guy was correct about the type name "002" and "003".

But he is also saying that type 003(former 002) next to type 002(former 001A) will be nuclear.

So, I currently dare not to believe him.

This guy will become a god if he nails it again with the Type 003.

BTW, check this thread, four aircraft carriers. Does this mean the Type 001/002/003 in DL, and the Type 003 in JN?

Whether the designation is 001A or 002 has long been discussed. The fellow you quote is no more than a troll who always blends his own headcanons into rumors.

The "Big Shrimps" were completely wrong on this one. I can't believe they managed to spew out so many rumors without even getting the designation right . So much for pop3 and fzgfzy

POP3 has never named the CV-17 as the Type 001A.

He initially stated that there is a slight chance that China could immediately skip the Kitty Hawk/Nimitz level supercarriers, and jump ahead into the Ford level one. But conservatively speaking, he believed that China would most likely build two 70,000 tonnes conventional supercarriers with the steam catapults before jumping ahead into the 100,000+ tonnes nuclear supercarrier with the EMALS.

But that is not correct because EMALS has been decided in favor of steam ...

I think China's first CATOBAR carrier was originally designated with the steam catapult, but later it got scrapped due the success of the EMALS.

Homegrown aircraft carrier ahead of schedule

China's second aircraft carrier is transferred from dry dock into the water at a launch ceremony in Dalian shipyard of the China Shipbuilding Industry Corp. in Dalian, northeast China's Liaoning Province, April 26, 2017. The new carrier, the first domestically-built one, came after the Liaoning, a refitted former Soviet Union-made carrier that was put into commission in the Navy of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in 2012.

Last stage to turn over warship to PLA navy

China's first homegrown aircraft carrier is very likely to start its first sea trials in autumn, as its manufacturer announced that it will present key achievements as a tribute to the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC).

The Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Corp (DSIC) of the China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC), the manufacturer of the Type 001A, posted details of a meeting on its website on August 18.

Hu Wenming, the head and Party chief of the CSIC who visited the DSIC in Dalian, northeastern China's Liaoning Province, praised the DSIC's work, saying the "key project" team has completed tasks ahead of schedule, according to the DSIC. Although the website didn't mention the aircraft carrier, the photo shows that the meeting is of "the Party Committee Working Conference of 002 Aircraft Carrier" (002 is the code of the project).

"The DSIC will greet the 19th CPC National Congress by delivering key achievements on a special product in this special time," said DSIC Chairman Liu Zheng, during a DSIC meeting on August 15 in Dalian, according to the company's website.

Liu said all personnel working on the key project led by the CSIC will stick to the directions of Xi Jinping, the General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, to provide world-class naval equipment for a world-leading navy.

The Type 001A is located in the DSIC's shipyard in Liaoning Province.

The "special time" refers to the 19th CPC National Congress, which marks the opening of a new phase of China's reforms. And the enhancement of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) navy's combat capabilities is an important part of the country's military reforms, Li Jie, a Beijing-based naval expert, told the Global Times on Tuesday.

Chinese experts believe the project's next achievement will most likely be the sea trials phase.

Zhang Ye, a research fellow at the PLA Naval Research Institute, told the Global Times that if the Type 001A can start its sea trials before the event, which is the last stage prior to turning the warship over to the navy, it would mark a huge step forward in China's development of a stronger navy.

China has successfully tested the Type 001A's power system and the carrier will undergo a mooring test in September ahead of schedule, meaning that the ship's power system is all set, and Zhang said he believed part of the mooring test has already started even during the power test, so the mooring test period could be shorter than expected.

More comprehensive test

The schedule for the sea trials will depend on how long the mooring test takes, Zhang noted.

The sea trials will include an even more comprehensive performance test, which would cover the propelling and communications systems under different maritime conditions, which would usually take two years, Zhang said. He added the trials would not be limited to a specific weather condition.

"The gap between the launch and sea trials of an aircraft carrier can take years. Progress depends on many factors, including funding, technological obstacles and the needs of clients. A new class of vessel normally requires more time, just like the Type 002 which is currently under construction in Shanghai, and will be very different from the Type 001 and 001A, but much more advanced," said Song Zhongping, a military expert who served in the Rocket Force.

"The Type 001A is an improved version of the Type 001 Liaoning, so the similarity and experience can largely speed things up," Song said.

China has started testing the power system of its first domestically-built aircraft carrier, and hopes to begin a mooring test in September ahead of schedule, Hu Wenming, the CSIC Chairman who has chaired the research and development of the Type 001A, was quoted as saying on a China Central Television report. The Type 001A was launched in Dalian on April 26.

I'm pretty sure the new carrier will not be named "Taiwan"; that would inflame cross-strait tensions for very little gain. At this point, most signs are pointing for the carrier to be called "Shandong", China's 2nd most populous province.
