Video of LHD-51 Sichuan conducting her 2nd sea trial.
Its also the size. The Sichuan is within 1m length of the WW2 carrier Enterprise (CV-6).I get the WWII vibe too. Like she is on a mission to somewhere. Must be the colour palette and the hazy old photograph feel. Almost looks like it could be a postcard.
This writer seem to have confused between Fujian and Sichuan.The ship is expected to host J-35 stealth fighters, KJ-600 airborne early-warning aircraft, and a range of helicopters and landing craft, according to prior Chinese media reports

I’m sure it will host at least a couple of J-35 for each mission, for the simple reason that the marines need air superiority, I find it bizarre that this is a controversial take.
