CV-18 Fujian - Type 003 Aircraft Carrier News & Discussions

[ChineseTiger1986]

Probably Ford aimed for less water resistance and Type 003 wants more capacity.
At least it tells us Type 003 will have enough engine power.

The J-15 and China's next gen carrier-based aircraft are both larger than the F-18 and F-35, but the Type 003 will carry the same amount of larger aircraft as the Ford class.

Therefore, it needs more space for bigger hangar.

September 7

The barrier has been removed between the Type 003 and Type 052D.

I don't think the water barrier has been removed. Looks more like they have filled up the part of the dry dock where the destroyer is located. The water level rose up to near top of the barrier and covered much from it from top view. Moreover the photo is very blurred.

They are most likely flooded the dry dock to remove the destroyer.

More intuitive view about how the waterline structure looks like within the entire hull structure.

He used to be more rational back in the day ... I guess the border issue has really gotten him riled up.

HOW CAN this ex-colonel (or captain of intelligence !?) becomes a sort of the best street unintelligence fan-boy to propagate the China's military muscles more than the Five-Eyes mainstream & think tank media??? OMG

Via Li on SDF ... one of the best views we've gotten of the 003 so far

This shows the modules thus far sighted is only about half of the total. Up to about the hangar floor height of the ship.

Ignore the wording 002, this is an old artist illustration.

350 meters for the waterline is impossible, even impossible for the flight deck.

The Ford class under the same condition, with all the current modules being connected, was around 293 meters.

And the remaining waterline was attached to the same last module that contained the bulbous bow.

Forget this Raj guy ... he was an Indian Army colonel or something and does Chinese fear-mongering for a living. With that being said, he is actually one of the much more rational Indian analysts on the Chinese military, which is really saying something. He understands the enormous military superiority China holds over India and even exaggerates that so he can gain popularity.

Many Chinese military enthusiasts bet that the Type 003 will be 100% commissioned earlier than India's first domestic carrier.

Hopefully that Mr. Raj will view this as some positive light, not some baseless fear-mongering exaggeration.

And of course a big negative character trait we find out about him of not keeping his word. He basically scammed a book from Deino.
