New class of warship teased?

However, it is noted that when this scene is shown, the background narrator voiced "Listen - This is the non-stop heartbeat of the new carrier." I presume that the "new carrier" refers to CV-18 Fujian.

However, since anyone across the globe already knows what CV-18 Fujian would look like on June 17 this year (and already having a pretty good idea on how CV-17 Fujian would eventually look like), I don't quite understand as to why is there a need to cover the whole carrier up under a wrap cloth?

Trying to fill up the surprise? Or does it indicate 004, or even a new class of warship? Or that I'm just thinking too much?

I will just attach this ending screenshot for reference.

Please pardon me for this, but since I couldn't find the video anywhere else, hence I'm left with no choice but to quote the Tweet from - gordon-ramsay-called-someone-an-idiot-sandwich-an-2-2831-1432296359-9_dblbig.jpg

Non-stop might be referring to a Nuclear powerplant in this case. Just my speculation.

At this point, the Russian Pacific Fleet should just serve as:

1. A coastal defense force for the Russian Pacific coastline; and, at most
2. An auxiliary component for the PLA Navy that would attach themselves to the naval task forces of the PLA Navy in case of confrontation or conflict with the US and her allies in the Pacific.

Other than that, apart from their SSNs and SSBNs, I don't really see how the Russian surface fleet is still capable of sailing across the high seas in the Pacific (or oceans elsewhere) and conduct power projection as a formidable fighting force on their own anymore.

On point 2, it happens now occasionally that US runs into CN patrols in the Pacific and they have Russian ships attached to them.

I think in the event of a massive war in Asia, Russian elements would disperse and blend into PLAN ones. It greatly improves their survivability, and there's decent evidence that there are command systems existing to integrate them.

Likewise Russian SSN/SSGN become far more survivable when they make it into PLA aircover + 041 infested waters where US can't send subs in without great risk.

I actually see this as the likely core of a Liaoning/Shandong Strike Group; i.e the Carrier, Type 901, and 2 x Type 055s. With 2 x Type 055s required to compensate for the range/payload limitations of the Fixed-Wing aircraft operating off a Ski-jump.
