A brief introduction of China's aircraft carrier
Building an aircraft carrier was the dream of several generations of China navies, and it was also the symbol of a big country. China was influenced by the Soviet aircraft carrier. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, China purchased retired aircraft carriers such as the "Kyiv","Minsk" and "Varyag" from Ukraine and began to develop aircraft carriers. China used the modified "Varyag" aircraft carrier for practice, and built two medium-sized aircraft carriers (displacement of 40,000 - 60,000 tons) based on repair experience, forming a three-aircraft carrier system. The "Varyag"(the ship) was now used for scientific research and training and had initially formed combat effectiveness. On September 25, 2012, China's first aircraft carrier, the "Liaoningship", was handed over to the fleet, bringing the Chinese Navy into the era of aircraft carriers. On April 26, 2017, the first domestic aircraft carrier was launched in Dalian. This was an important achievement of China's independent design and construction of aircraft carriers. On November 26, 2018, officials confirmed that China was building a third aircraft carrier. On June 17, 2022, the third aircraft carrier was named "Fujian Ship of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy" with the number "18". At the end of October 2024, China publicly announced its first dual-carrier battle group exercise. The participating aircraft carriers, the Liaoning and Shandong, demonstrated their cooperative combat capabilities. There were advanced fighter jets and helicopters on their decks. At the same time, there were many different types of high-performance warships cooperating with each other, such as the Type 055 10,000-ton giant ship, Type 052D guided missile destroyer, Type 054A guided missile frigate, etc. Together with supply ships and submarines, they formed an indestructible maritime combat team. The dual-carrier battle group had a full displacement of more than 300,000 tons, demonstrating powerful maritime combat, deterrence, ocean-going combat, anti-submarine warfare and other capabilities. It could also play a role in missions such as human aid. In addition, there were also satellite images from the US media that showed that there were suspected facilities in the mountains of China that were preparing for the production of large nuclear aircraft carriers, but the Chinese side did not confirm this news.

China carrier aircraft
There were many types of transport aircraft in China. The following was a partial introduction: - Yun- 9 (codename: Y - 9, English: Shaanxi Y - 9) transport aircraft: This was an aircraft model that China had developed twice. The 77-ton transport aircraft designed by the Chinese was basically an enlarged version of the 61-ton Y -8F- 200. Its capacity was comparable to the US military's C -130J "Super Hercules" transport aircraft. It was powered by four propeller engines and could carry 25 tons of supplies or 132 paratroopers (there were nine 108 x 88 inch cargo trays in the cabin). It had four crew members, a cruising speed of 650 km/h, and a maximum range of 7800 km. - Tianzhou cargo spacecraft: It was an active cargo spacecraft of the China Space Station. It had a maximum load of 13.5 tons and was mainly designed for upstream transportation (transporting cargo to the space station). - Haolong cargo space shuttle: 10 meters long, 8 meters wide, and the maximum weight is less than 7 tons. It is a small space shuttle. It was mainly used for downward transportation, relying on smaller size, self-landing on the airport runway, and new technologies such as reuse to reduce transportation costs. At present, the design phase of the scheme had been completed and the engineering development was in full swing. The novel "Hundred Years of Spaceship" is equally exciting.

China's aircraft carrier development
The development of China's aircraft carrier began in the late 1990s, starting from the purchase and transformation of the "Varyag" into the era of aircraft carriers. In 2012, China's first aircraft carrier, the " Liao Ning ", entered service, laying the foundation for the construction of aircraft carriers. In 2017, the domestic aircraft carrier "Shandong" entered service, bringing China's aircraft carrier development to a new stage. Now that the Fujian ship had also undergone sea trials, the China aircraft carrier fleet had expanded to three. In the process of development, not only did the number of aircraft carriers gradually increase, but the technology and combat capabilities related to aircraft carriers also continued to develop. For example, the successful development and service of the J- 15 carrier aircraft gave the aircraft carrier a more complete combat establishment. At the same time, the development speed of China's aircraft carriers exceeded Western expectations. Although the Fujian ship was a conventional power carrier, it was equipped with electromagnetic launch technology, which was a great advantage in technology. Regarding future development, there is news that China plans to build more aircraft carriers in the next decade. According to military analysis, it may develop to the scale of six or eleven aircraft carriers. These two sizes have strategic significance. The configuration of six aircraft carriers can meet strategic needs and avoid waste of resources. It can ensure maritime hegemony in Southeast Asia, the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean and other sea areas, maintain sea control over Taiwan, the South China Sea and other disputed areas, and also improve the combat capability of carrier aircraft. The 11 aircraft carriers represent a more ambitious global strategy that can enhance combat capabilities on a global scale and respond to security challenges in the global strategic environment, but it also faces huge technical, economic, and personnel management challenges. Although there were many discussions about whether the Type 004 aircraft carrier was a next-powered aircraft carrier, it was still unknown.

China's aircraft carrier profile
China building an aircraft carrier was the dream of several generations of navy personnel, and it was also a symbol of a great power. China was influenced by the Soviet aircraft carrier. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, China purchased retired aircraft carriers such as "Kyiv","Minsk" and "Varyag" from Ukraine and began to develop aircraft carriers. The "Varyag" was used for practice after repair. China built two medium-sized aircraft carriers with a displacement of 40,000 - 60,000 tons based on repair experience, forming a three-aircraft carrier system. The "Varyag"(the ship) was now used for scientific research training and had initially formed combat effectiveness. On September 25,2012, China's first aircraft carrier, the "Liaoningship", was handed over, bringing the Chinese navy into the era of aircraft carriers.

On June 17,2022, the third aircraft carrier was named "Fujian Ship of the China People's Liberation Army Navy" with the number "18". In addition, US media satellite images showed that there was an unidentified facility deep in the mountains of China's Sichuan Province. The US analysis believed that China might be preparing to produce a large next-powered aircraft carrier, but China had never confirmed it. On November 11th, the US government think tank confirmed to the associated press that China was developing the latest nuclear aircraft carrier and that the relevant experimental reactors had been built and tested.

China's fourth aircraft carrier
China's fourth aircraft carrier was in the construction stage. The specific details were not disclosed to the outside world due to confidentiality, and most of the relevant information was speculation. On March 5, 2024, Yuan Huazhi, the political commissar of the Navy, said that China had "no bottlenecks" in the technical field of building aircraft carriers, and the question of whether the fourth aircraft carrier would use nuclear power would be revealed soon. From various speculations, there were many theories about the fourth aircraft carrier's tonnages, power, and other aspects. One view was that they should directly develop a 100,000-ton next-powered aircraft carrier to catch up with the United States 'Ford-class or Nimitz-class aircraft carriers in terms of comprehensive configuration. However, China had yet to carry out next-powered ship tests, so direct development was risky and difficult. Moreover, the leap from an 80,000-ton aircraft carrier to a 100 - 110,000-ton aircraft carrier was too large, and there were many unpredictable problems, so this possibility was very small. The second view was to carry out appropriate optimization and improvement on the basis of the Fujian ship, so that it could quickly form combat effectiveness. The difficulty was small and the construction period was fast, but this plan was too small to meet the long-term development needs of the Navy. The third view was that it was a large-scale upgrade and improvement of the Fujian ship, with a ton increase to more than 90,000 tons. It still used three electromagnetic catapults but the design was more reasonable. If possible, the lift was increased to three, and the position of the island was adjusted to increase the front parking area. The power configuration was still steam power. This speculation was more likely. The fourth aircraft carrier was most likely a transition model. The novel " Hundred Years of Spaceship " is equally exciting.

The experience of the China aircraft carrier
The development of China's aircraft carriers was of great significance in many aspects and gave people a lot of deep experience. From the perspective of the ship, it joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy in 2012 and was the first aircraft carrier independently designed and built by China. This event was an important milestone in the construction of the Chinese navy in Asia and even compared with the naval construction of developed countries in the West. It marked a solid step in the manufacture and application of high-tech military equipment. Some people felt the great power of the aircraft carrier when they visited it. The tense and orderly atmosphere inside, the size and number of cannons on the deck, and the aviation equipment all showed the strength and advancement of the aircraft carrier. The Shandong warship was also an important part of China's naval power. The Fujian ship also reflected the new leap in China's aircraft carrier technology. It was the first catapult aircraft carrier designed and built by China. It adopted a straight and long flight deck, equipped with electromagnetic catapult and blocking devices, with a full displacement of more than 80,000 tons, a total length of 320 meters, and a maximum width of 78 meters. The radar and weapon systems were independently developed by China. The Fujian ship's number "18" had a deep historical significance. It continued the spiritual will of the modern navy ancestors to save the country. The development of the Fujian ship demonstrated China's continuous progress in aircraft carrier construction technology, such as the use of electromagnetic catapult carrier aircraft directly across the steam catapult, and its three electromagnetic catapults improved the efficiency of the carrier aircraft. Although there was still a certain gap between the number of carrier-based aircraft and the United States 'Ford, the Fujian ship, as China's third aircraft carrier, showed the great potential of China's aircraft carrier development. With the subsequent development of China's aircraft carrier, it would play a more powerful role in maintaining national maritime rights and interests, overseas interests, regional security, and world peace. In short, the development of China's aircraft carriers had witnessed the continuous growth of China's naval power, reflected China's development achievements in military technology, independent research and development, and other aspects. It also carried a heavy historical significance and inspired a strong sense of national pride. The novel " Hundred Years of Spaceship " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

China's aircraft carrier related information
China building an aircraft carrier was the dream of several generations of Chinese navies, and it was also a symbol of a big country. China's aircraft carrier development was deeply influenced by the Soviet aircraft carrier. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, China purchased retired aircraft carriers such as the "Kyiv,""Minsk," and "Varyag" from Ukraine and began research and development of aircraft carriers. The "Varyag" was repaired as a practice aircraft carrier. China built two medium-sized aircraft carriers based on the repair experience, forming a three-aircraft carrier system. The "Varyag" was now used for scientific research training and had initially formed combat effectiveness. On September 25th, 2012, China's first aircraft carrier, the " Liaoningship ", was handed over, marking the Chinese Navy entering the era of aircraft carriers. On April 26, 2017, China's first domestic aircraft carrier was launched in Dalian. This was a major achievement of China's independent design and construction of aircraft carriers.

On June 17, 2022, the third aircraft carrier was named "Fujian Ship of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy" with the number "18". At the end of October 2024, China publicly announced the first dual-carrier battle group exercise. The aircraft carriers participating were the aircraft carriers, the Liaoning-Shandong. They demonstrated strong cooperative combat capabilities. At the same time, there were 13 advanced surface combat ships cooperating, including the Type 055 10,000-ton ship, the Type 052D guided missile destroyer, the Type 054A guided missile frigate, and many supply ships and submarines. The dual-carrier battle group had a full displacement of more than 300,000 tons. It demonstrated China's powerful maritime combat capabilities, ocean-going combat capabilities, and anti-submarine warfare capabilities. It was of great significance to protecting maritime interests and exerting influence in international affairs. In addition, the US media speculated that the facilities deep in China's mountainous areas might be related to next-powered aircraft carriers based on satellite images, but China did not confirm this news. China's development of next-powered aircraft carriers was in line with the strategic goal of shifting from coastal defense to long-distance sea escort. Next-powered aircraft carriers could provide powerful kinetic energy support, carry more equipment, and support long-term high-intensity combat missions. At the same time, there was a view that China should speed up the construction of aircraft carriers and develop strategic bomber aircraft to strengthen national defense and cope with international competition.
