CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread

You all forgot that Hebei is also a costal province. In old times it's named Zhili and its governor would be the most powerful government official.

Guangxi, while not technically a province, is also provincial level and has a coastline. So future name candidates would be Hebei, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan.

Guangxi and Hainan are already taken by 075.
But they don't have to be costal. The 3rd 075 is said to be named Anhui.

No. It has no need to act as ECM given it was large ECM arrays on the island itself.

More importantly the new 1130 may potentially appear in new 052D, 055 and 054A unless their 1130 has already been built and warehoused..

Also important is the new radar can replace Type 347G as the 054A's gunnery radar for its 76mm gun. If you don't know yet, the 054A uses the same radar for its gunnery set as a stand alone as the same radar fitted on 730/1130.

Does 1130 have a dedicated search radar? I noticed that the LIG Korean CIWS-2 concept has mini panels on the corner of the body

From the Japanese... they're a bit more anxious now.

Our friend Binkov give a neutral assessment on Fujian But but the comment section is very entertaining go read it guys
Very funny and out of this world

Around 20 years ago the lead designer of the F-14 Tomcat and a retired US Navy Admiral published a joint article calling for an Americanised Su-33 to replace the F-14 Tomcat in USN service.

Obviously that didn't happen, but yeah... a fully-realised, catapult-launched J-15 has a significantly higher performance ceiling than Super Hornet and will no doubt serve PLAN well in the medium-term.

How does the J-15T compare the Super Hornet. India is prob going to go with the SH for their domestic AC, while ordering another batch of Rafael's to keep the French happy.

America's ass is definitely bigger. I like and I cannot deny.

But we got the nicer ass.

How symbolic. Ford has a big, fat, unsculptured ass while Fujian's is more smooth, proportioned and shapely .
