00X/004 future nuclear CATOBAR carrier thread

Really? So this measurement via GE is that much off? ... since if not, then the new deck would be close to 80m wide.

Ah I see. I think I measured the narrower rear section of the mockup structure.

Even so, the largest width of the original mockup structure per your Google Earth measurement is about 5-6 meters shorter than the largest flight deck widths of the STOBAR twins and Fujian.

Is it me or has the building not gotten longer at all since it's inception i doubt the accuracy of the size of the building completely compared to the real ship.

The building is basically just a 75 percent scale model, the 003 mockup's length is only 250m ish or so while obviously the actual type 003 is far longer than that.

No? The mockup structure is about 310 meters long, per Google Map/Earth measurements. Definitely not just 250 meters.

Construction progress on the expansion of the carrier mockup at Wuhan.

Can I ask what is this app ? Thank you

My mistake, I probably misremembered the length. ignore my previous post

Looks like the Americans caught wind of that test and verification module at Dalian too.

Nothing really new in the article, though.

About 5 years ago I was having a discussion with my co-worker who has a typical anti-Chinese mindset.
I said China will build a nuclear powered carrier, it is only a matter of time.
He responded with a knew jerk reaction
"They haven't built one yet!"
"They haven't built one yet!"
"They haven't built one yet!"

The idea that the Chinese could possibly replicate something of equal technological capacity as the Americans made him seriously triggered.
The nice thing about American mainstream media is that when they finally admit to something even the most brainwashed anti-Chinese Americans out there have no choice but to grudgingly yield to the Facts........of course everybody on this forum saw it coming 5 years ago.

I think the real implication of China building nuclear carrier isn't the carrier itself, given the amount of investment in naval buildup China could have built one years ago if resources were more focused in that direction at the expense of other programs.

I think the real implication is China now see a need for them, and the need is global power projection.

Case in point, voyage of discovery to Australia.

Link between aircraft carriers and power projection is postww2 copium, caused by need to justify navy somehow(and make use of it).
Just like that it wasn't airpower that killed battleships. It was lack of peers, that made them absolutely useless.

When there are equal naval opponents, carriers aren't justified by power projection or other cw Soviet propaganda(colonialism ships). They're justified by basic necessities of naval warfare.
