According to this, AI was used to design a warship's electrical system, more accurately and much faster than a team of humans. It's SCMP, so I wonder how accurate it it. I very much doubt the 100% accurate claim, there's no way the final design didn't need some tweaking. Also, I wonder what warship used the AI design process?

It would've been worth at least a curious gander, but then they just had to quote the US Navy Secretary Carlos "Chinese Slave Shipbuilders" Del Toro -

He said the US had the advantage of a higher quality labour force. “They [China] use slave labour in building their ships, right – that’s not the way we should do business ever,” Del Toro said. “In many ways our shipbuilders are better shipbuilders.”

They're completely projecting because they themselves rely on slave labor. A ton of low end grunt work for military industrial complex relies on prisoners paid a penny an hour. Anytime the Western imperialists throw shade at anyone else, you can have a 99.9999% confidence that they're not only lying but actually doing it themselves.

Has this been shared before? Not sure how credible this is, but it appears to be a screen capture of an academic paper. The text states that Type 346 radar onboard carrier Liaoning has 5,000 T/R modules per face, with a detection range greater than 450km, and can track 100 targets simultaneously. So far, four variants of Type 346 have been developed, which include the original variant, the first ship-based variant, 346A, and 346B. The 346B radar sets installed on Type 055 destroyers have a detection range greater than 400km.

Does anyone have access to the full text?

How does the cited performance of 346B compared to American equivalent? I know there are nuances but bear with me.

I would be cautious from drawing conclusions performance from the paper.
It is doubtful that true performance parameters would be disclosed in these kind of papers (and that also goes for radars and such systems advertised globally as well).

Not sure where else to post this, so I think here would do, since @para80 quoted about this on Twitter.

Roughly translated:
Landing exercise using a civilian car ferry conducted by the Chinese Armed Forces (PLA). By combining a floating dock and a floating bridge, it is possible to unload vehicles even at points where harbor facilities are not developed. It is estimated that the exercise was held around 2022 from the time the ferry was painted.
The vessel used is believed to be of the Bohai Hoju-class owned by Bohai Wandu Group (Bohai Ferry). Four ships of the same type have been in service and have been participating in the Chinese military's transport exercises for some time. The image is the Bohai Pearl of the same type ship.
Gross Tonnage: 24,024t
Total length: 163.9m
Number of cars loaded: about 260
Passenger capacity: about 1,630

Reminds of the Mulberry harbors from Normandy during WW2. Apart from the element of unpredictability (since this can be used pretty much anywhere), since proper port facilities would be off-limits during the opening stages of AR of Taiwan, equipments like these are absolutely essential for amphibious operations against Taiwanese shorelines.
