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

[Beast]

Dudes，do you think if it is a good idea to reveal so much of POP3's information without his permission here?

If he wouldnt want people to know his info, he wouldn't even post those thing online. He wants people to know his credibilities. Unlike some with no record or link who dare to question him his statement. His words shall be treated like Bible for Chinese military development.

China is ready to skip the steam catapult for the EMALS.

@ChineseTiger1986 : China's first nuclear powered aircraft carrier should be launched mid-2020s and will be as large and as sophisticated as the US Ford class. These two aircraft carrier classes will have no equal anywhere in the world.

... and the carrier mock-up at Wuhan has been modified even more ...

The construction could be started around early-2020s.

The speculation on the island structure of the Type 002, it does look much better than the Type 001.

The Type 003 will have even more room for the improvement.

Absolutely not the case.

POP3: I am not sure if the Type 002 has started the construction, but it seems unlikely right now.

fzgfzy/slayerhuahua: The construction has been started by 2016.

石头花: The construction has been started since 2015.

Who is right?

I think Huahua's postings are more accurate because he did said that he is with the team directly involved with design of 002.

So Type 002 in 2016 = Type 001A in 2013.

We should expect to see the Type 002 on the shipyard by 2018.

Looking at the construction progress of the new land based test site for EMAL and steam catapult, it is very unlikely that 002 will get EMAL.

When 石头花 said work had began in 2015, I think he meant designing stage. Huahua said they have completed large part of design work over the past years.

Huahua was extremely frustracted and angered by the talks of putting EMAL on 002 because their original design work was based on steam catapult. He said they have been working very hard and overtime to complete their task, some of the team members have experienced severe mental and health stress.

And if 002 will to be installed with EMAL instead of the originally planned steam catapult, they would have to rework again but then everybody involved in the design works are now extremely tired physically and mentally.

If the first Type 002 uses the steam catapult, then the second one will use the same. Because instead of wasting time to modify the Type 002, they will rather focus on the design of the Type 003.

So the first Type 002 should be expected to be commissioned by the end of 2022 or the early 2023, and the second one will be commissioned by 2027.

By 2030, we should have our first Type 003.

personally, I'd prefer small but solid steps. steam catapult is decent already. most grand undertaking involving lots of unknown risks often end up in failures. It is often the fallacy among intellectuals who think with reasoning alone they can always achieve what they wish. success always favors real experiences. let's get more experiences with patience.

Conventional STOBAR > Conventional CATOBAR > Nuclear EMALS

POP3 has already concluded that. By 2030, China will have 2 conventional STOBAR, 2 conventional CATOBAR, 1 nuclear EMALS.

I think after 2030 China will start building two nuclear EMALS simultaneously.
