CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread

Petty considerations of price are of concern to countries of limited means. China is not such a country and its wealth is both vast and expanding rapidly.

If you're building a costly fleet of Carriers only to restrict them to operating within 1000 or so nautical miles of your coastline, all you are doing is wasting your money. You should also, at the same time, forget about dominating the oceans that surround your coastline.
....

Is this suppose to be some troll statement?

Everybody knows that conventionally powered carriers have the range to travel across an entire ocean.

Without logistical support, they starve and die of thirst across the ocean.

You don't create global power with aircraft carriers, you protect your global power with aircraft carriers.

Maybe it is true. I used to hear a rumor that the amount of 003 is three.

Considering type-004 is nuclear, I think China need more conventional carriers before nuclear carrier.

After finishing the new bunch of 052Ds and 055s, JiangNan and DaLian may construct the type-003 at the same time.

Can you copy and paste the full article here? The rest of the article is being paywalled.

When and where did you hear such rumor before?

I would be estatic if that's really the case, but I'd like to keep observing.
