    According to the composition of one general aircraft carrier for maintenance, one for training, and one for combat duty, and in addition to the fact that China has two main directions, the East China Sea and the South China Sea, China needs about six aircraft carriers to achieve a relatively ideal situation of having one aircraft carrier in each direction at any one time. So China needs to build at least 5 more aircraft carriers, according to current information. China should already have an aircraft carrier under construction (Jiangnan Shipyard), which should be of conventional power, about 80,000 tons, and maintain the state that can be equipped with catapults.

    According to the speculation of foreign countries is under construction, in addition to the current No. 16 ship, there should be at least two to form a mission, 1 maintenance and maintenance, 1 training and scientific research mode, and generally the same type of ** will build more than two so that it is easy to maintain, considering the first aircraft carrier, so it will definitely not be much, and will learn a lot from the Varyag and experiment with some new technologies, so if there is an aircraft carrier under construction, there should be two, and it will be conventional power, there should be a steam catapult device.

    At present, the Jiangnan shipyard is building an aircraft carrier, and it is expected that there will be two new domestic aircraft carriers in service in the late 10s and early 20s of this century, and there are two aircraft carriers currently under construction.

    Personal opinion. China's maritime frontier is too large, and it needs at least four or five formations of regular combat strength and at least one training formation. Other than that.

    In order to ensure the steady development of economic construction and the absence of interference from external forces, we must certainly not lag behind in our long-range offensive capability. Our country needs to build four or five more aircraft carrier formations. The Liaoning is just a front.

    What is under construction in Shanghai is the real capital ship. Another bold estimate. China already has hidden aircraft carriers.

    Aircraft carriers can be said to be the most difficult industrial system, is the crown of a country's industry, first of all, you need to have the ability to manufacture tens of thousands of tons or even more than 100,000 tons of ships, but also need to create a super power system, aircraft carriers not only need to be large but also need strong power to quickly deploy to the front line, larger than the aircraft carrier is not a few, but can run to more than 30 knots is really not much, at the same time the nuclear power plant is very, very difficult, at present, only the United States and France have mastered the manufacturing process of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, Secondly, there are catapults, at present, the only country that can produce catapults is the United States, the degree of difficulty can be imagined, the last and most important link, carrier-based fighters, no fighter aircraft carriers are useless, but fighters are already very cutting-edge high-tech products, and then it is even more difficult for him to take off and land on narrow aircraft carriers, and finally aircraft carriers can not only fight themselves, but also need escort ships, such as destroyers, frigates, etc., how expensive it is to build an aircraft carrier battle group.

    Let's talk about which countries have aircraft carriers, the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Russia, China, Japan, India, Thailand.

    Aircraft carriers are now the core of military forces at sea, and to build aircraft carriers, we need a nuclear power system, and we also need to have perfect splint construction capabilities, because splints need to complete the take-off and landing of aircraft, and now only China, Britain, No, Fa, Russia and other countries can build it.

    It is especially difficult, because building an aircraft carrier requires not only money but also technology. The United States, Great Britain, India, China, France all have aircraft carriers.

    At present, among the countries in the world, there are more than 10 countries with aircraft carriers, including the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France, India and other countries, these countries have different aircraft carriers, including light aircraft carriers with a displacement of 20,000 tons to supercarriers of more than 100,000 tons. Although there are more than a dozen countries that have aircraft carriers, there are only four countries that can really design and build aircraft carriers independently, namely the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and China. And Russia has not built an aircraft carrier until now, and it does not have this capability.

    As the largest in the navy, its system is huge, the manufacturing process is complex, and the difficulty of its construction is beyond ordinary people's imagination, in addition to testing a country's economic strength, scientific research strength and overall military industrial capacity, as well as system integration capabilities.

    As of 2020, China currently has two usable air carriers, the Liaoning of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy and the Shandong of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy.

    1. The Liaoning ship of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy.

    The Liaoning of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy is an aircraft carrier under the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy that can carry fixed-wing aircraft, and it is also the first aircraft carrier in service in China.

    The predecessor of the Liaoning aircraft carrier is the Marshal Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier sub-ship Varyag of the Soviet Navy, in the mid-to-late 80s of the 20th century, the Varyag was built in Ukraine when it was destroyed by the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the construction project was interrupted, with a completion rate of 68%. In 1999, China purchased the Varyag, which arrived at the port of Dalian on March 4, 2002. On April 26, 2005, the construction and improvement by the Chinese Navy began.

    On September 25, 2012, it was officially renamed Liaoning and delivered to the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy.

    2. Shandong ship of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy.

    The Shandong Ship of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy is China's first domestically built aircraft carrier, based on the research of the Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier of the former Soviet Union and the Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning, and is China's first domestically produced aircraft carrier in the true sense.

    China has three aircraft carriers, which can form a certain stable combat effectiveness, one for cruising, one for maintenance, and one in port. At present, China maintains less than five ships, which is more in line with its national strength. If it competes with the United States, China is still inferior in terms of financial and technological strength.

    The direction of continued efforts is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, a catapult take-off aircraft carrier.

    Openly there is one, secretly at least two, China does not need too many aircraft carriers. First, China has no colonial interests to maintain by the navy, second, if you look at the map, China does not even have a place to enter the ocean, and third, China is not ready to take the initiative to fight, and other people's aircraft carriers will be cleaned up by the other side. Third, China is a land-sea composite country, so what should we do if we go all out to develop an aircraft carrier and nuclear submarine force?

    What to do about modernizing the army's infantry and replacing the air force, these are inferior to those of other countries in China, and we need to catch up with them to a limited extent.

    For a big country and a strong country, the number of aircraft carriers must be more than 10, otherwise if there is really a naval battle, the combat strength will be small.

    There are many large shipyards in China, but only the Changxing Island Shipbuilding Base of Jiangnan Shipyard and the Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Company have the strength and technology to build aircraft carriers.

    Jiangnan Shipyard is China's first shipyard, it has 4 large docks, the largest of which is 580 meters long, 120 meters wide, with the ability to manufacture aircraft carriers, and some gossip rumors that domestic aircraft carriers have been built in Jiangnan Shipyard.

    Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. is a merger of Dalian New Factory and Dalian ShipyardIt has an 800,000-ton dock and a 150,000-ton dock, as well as experience in refitting the former Soviet Union's abandoned aircraft carrier "Varyag", and this shipyard has produced most of China's destroyers, landing ships and other large military ships, and has a strong military influence.

    There should be only 2: Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard and Dalian Shipyard.

    These 2 are the best in China's shipbuilding technology and industrial production capacity, and the aircraft carrier can only be achieved in these two places, but I think it is more likely to build aircraft carriers in Shanghai, with technology and industrial capacity, and the technician team is also very strong, the quality and sense of responsibility are the best in the country, and the technology level of destroyers and frigates produced by them far exceeds that of other manufacturers of the same kind (military experts analyze oh, pro!). )。

    Dalian Shipyard is currently carrying out the improvement of the Varyag, because of our special national conditions, the final right to use the shipbuilding drawings belongs to the military, so even if the Dalian Shipyard participated in the design of the aircraft carrier design can still be used and built by the Jiangnan Shipyard.

    Jiangnan Heavy Industry, Dalian Shipbuilding, Jiangsu New Century Shipbuilding and New Era Shipbuilding, Jiangsu Zhonghai Heavy Industry, Nantong Kawasaki, Shanghai Waigaoqiao, Shanghai Hudong-Zhonghua, Shanghai Shipyard, Jiangsu Jinling Shipbuilding, Nantong Rongsheng Heavy Industry, Qingdao Beihai Heavy Industry, Shanhaiguan Shipyard, Zhejiang Jinhaiwan Heavy Industry, Bohai Heavy Industry, etc.!!

    All of the above are relatively large shipyards in China! One factory can top several small shipyards!!

    Small shipyards are good if they build a total tonnage of 30w a year, and these factories can reach 20 30w tons per ship!!

    In modern society, military strength is an important criterion for judging a country's comprehensive national strength, and the development of military science and technology is inseparable from improving a country's military strength. For a large country, having high-tech ** is an important means to improve the level of national defense, but to manufacture these, the manpower and material resources required are not small.

    Aircraft carriers are known as "sea hegemons", and the power of this kind of power and its importance to the navy of a major country can also be seen through this name. However, as the largest surface ship, the aircraft carrier is not only extremely difficult in terms of manufacturing technology, but also at an astonishing cost. As a result, only a few countries have their own aircraft carriers.

    After the official commissioning of the "Liaoning Ship", China finally bid farewell to the era of no aircraft carrier, and the launch of the second aircraft carrier "Shandong Ship" allowed China to have an aircraft carrier that was completely developed and manufactured by itself. The successive commissioning of two aircraft carriers is exciting, but the 11 aircraft carriers owned by the United States still far exceed ours. So, how many aircraft carriers does China need to develop?

    Experts have given accurate answers to this, and military fans are really excited.

    According to our military experts, in addition to the current twin aircraft carriers, China's aircraft carriers need to launch at least four aircraft carriers. This is undoubtedly good news, but even if China already has 6 aircraft carriers, there is still a gap compared to the United States, which has 11 aircraft carriers almost twice as many as China, will there be a situation where there will be a shortage of them?

    At present, China's two aircraft carriers, although they cannot be compared with the United States, but in the world they have been on par with Britain, higher than other countries in the world, and their military strength is as strong as Russia's only one old aircraft carrier, and in terms of the current naval scale, the two aircraft carriers are completely sufficient, because on the basis of the aircraft carrier as the main body, it will also be equipped with destroyers and frigates, so an aircraft carrier is a huge fleet.

    The reason why the United States was able to have so many aircraft carriers is largely due to the fact that their naval military industry started early and has a strong foundation. As early as World War II, the United States fought a fierce Pacific war with Japan, in which aircraft carriers played a key role. For the United States, building aircraft carriers is a familiar way, but for China, the scarcity is not only aircraft carriers, but all sea boats, so it must be invested in all aspects at the same time.

    On the one hand, we must face up to the gap between ourselves and other countries, and guard against arrogance and rashness. On the other hand, we should also develop steadily according to our own actual situation, not to be arrogant, and to develop steadily according to our own pace. Therefore, when developing one's own national defense strength, one should also invest in it according to the actual needs of one's own country, and we should not see what others have and what we want to have, which will lead to a big mistake.

    6 to 7 ships. "If the Chinese Navy wants to become a true blue-water navy, it needs to build at least six to seven aircraft carriers, and only in this way can it exert its strength in the Indo-Pacific region and maintain China's status as a great power." Specifically, each fleet of the Chinese Navy needs to be equipped with two aircraft carriers, and one aircraft carrier is also required to be stationed in the Indian Ocean region, so that the demand for Chinese aircraft carriers has reached the scale of seven, and there is currently a shortfall of at least four.

    How many aircraft carriers does China really need? The American media gave the answer that at least 6 to 7 aircraft carriers would be enough.

    Personal speculation should be gradually updated, the Liaoning ship will gradually become a training ship, the Fujian ship has been launched, and it is an electromagnetic catapult, and there will be a new nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the later stage, and then at least 6 will be kept in active service, 1-2 will be trained, three of which are on combat readiness duty to form a scale, and three will remain maintained, so that it will be rotated!
