I think the 3rd one is already there.

I think this was a misinterpretation then

By the way ...

Number 2?

Number 2?

Yes, the 1st scaffolding already removed

Looks like larger 076 with IEP and EMALS/AAG is on its way.
That may have explained why we are not building more 075's at this time.

Can someone provide translation for this please?
I mean the first thing I thought when reading "type 076 with EMALS" was.. yeah that won't happen. So I don't know man, may be I will be proven wrong and China will give us a surprise with this ultra super power LHD with EMALS but... I highly doubt that's gonna happen.

According to Pop3, the new LHD will circumvent using a STOVL to launch aircraft ... so most likely it is going to be an EM catapult. Honestly, the technology of a EM catapult LHD is easier than constructing the 003 carrier, which also has a EM catapult, so this is not surprising at all to me. A much easier solution than implementing STOVL although they may have to lengthen the 076's flight deck compared to the 075.

It's happening.
The EMALS catapult is for drones like GJ-11. In the future it may support Chines STOVL aircrafts.

I don't think the Chinese are going to do STOVL aircrafts ... according to Pupu, the 076 was meant to circumvent STOVL. I guess China has decided STOVL is not worthy of the investment/technical cost.

YES, The technoledge for STOVL cost to long...China have almost ZERO experience in this filed. For a workable STOVL, at least 15 years...

I was not focusing when I replied to the last post.
Yes, the point is that 076 will be able to operate regular aircraft like J-35. For future STOVL (IF PLA gets it eventually), they can be used even on 075.

Interesting concept but the one with J-15s makes no sense.

I don't want to keep talking forever about how I don't think this vessel will exist so I just want to say it once more, regarding the chances of having this Type 076 CVL, I'm ten times more pessimistic than even Gordon Chang who still to this day continues saying "China collapse" even as China's GDP became more than double what it was.
I will only believe it when I see this CVL.

Any way moving on , just for the sake of argument let us say the CVL does exist, why the F are so many people on CJDBY calling it "drone mothership"? That is just.. heavy aircrafts can take off from a ski jump with reduced load which is why every major country dreams of having catapults so that they can launch whatever they want, if the Type 076 is equipped with catapults then it will launch the same kind of aircrafts launched from the Type 003 just in much lower numbers.

Also one more thing, when poor countries want a CV , they build a small one (CVL) because they can't afford the CVN, however when a large power that can afford multiple CVNs starts building CVLs.. that means they want such a very large number of aircraft carriers that they decided to build CVLs alongside the CVNs.

It seems the PLAN has reached a conclusion (perhaps a long time ago) that modern naval war will be fought mainly with aircraft carriers instead of with DDGs.

China is porting EMALS everywhere, it's said that also in civil aviation to reduce carbon emissions,

This Type 076 LHD-CVL is a very good concept honestly.

But how can it circumvent STOVL with UCAV?
I still don't get it, unless they put some J-35 onboard or maybe they are developing Next Gen UCAV?
