As China is now operating semi-submersibles as helicopter carriers, does this means that they actually built an aircraft carrier, exactly where and when we predicted they would and that we never noticed it or realized it?

What is a semi-submerisble carrier??? Are you referring to a submarine type ship that houses a rotary wing? China already built themselves an aircraft carrier, the Shandong. Their carrier program isn't a secret which this forum have been tracking for years.

@Bltizo you should do another thread about China's aircraft carrier development on r/geopolitics! I haven't seen you post on that sub in so long!

I might write an update of Chinese carrier progress for 2020 soon but I don't post much in that subreddit anymore unless I'm directly summoned.
I don't have it in me to write an entirely long spiel every time lol.

No not that place. It's a fucking echo for pro-India, pro-western views and of course anti-Chinese. Any logical argument that goes against their views will get downvoted to oblivion. Honest discussion there is not possible. Reddit in general is mightily dysfunctional. Echo chambers left and right.

You might find a tiny few commenters that no what they are talking about especially in defense, tech, economic subs but the majority spew so much fallacies and misinformation that only support their bias worldviews.

A semi submersible transport ship is something like this. A sort of improvised helicopter carrier.1.jpg

It used to be alright....until it got popular and idiots infiltrated the place. Gave opinions like "We need to form a proper alliance against China" and downvoted/banned everything else. Hardly can find any proper discussion there anymore.

Recently I checked back and its all pro-Indian stuff. Like idm discussion about india but these are all sensational indian blogpost or comments from some Indian minister/general. Place has really gone down to the gutters.

Perhaps when more information comes out? Like when its upper hull starts taking shape/some sort of propulsion system is installed. Right now I feel like progress is just creeping along quietly

This place here is calm and businesslike - until someone comes back and dreams of 350 meters in length, >80 meters in width, >100,000 tons of displacement and nuclear propulsion.
who said it is 350 meters in length, >80 meters in width? When I say it's around 100,000 tons and being nuclear powered, I was not dreaming, I was analyzing based on existing info. If you don't agree, you can speak your points as well based on existing info, not just "I believe","I can't believe", like numerous western analysts focusing on China's development already did and got embarrassed in the past 2 decades.
