CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread

[lcloo]

At 4.20PM movement of the group has stopped. May be they are trying to turn the bow of CV18 around to the river mouth.

Fireworks at Jiangnan reported too. I am guessing they wouldnt do that just for a repositioning or some such.

Very cool CGI image of the steam turbine connected to the flywheel/battery/capacitor by CCTV.

this says commissioning in 2026. maybe nov/dec 2025 also likely?

The date is my estimate. I dont think 2025 is very likely but of course possible unless proven otherwise.

Re Fujian position, last tug locations were several returning to berth, one with a police boat remaining stationary in the river. Its not clear to me where the carrier is, I guess we will find out at daylight.

Since they have tested extensively in the shipyards, most issues have been solved for commissioning.
