Chinese aircraft carriers are light, medium sized, and heavy?

Varyag Displacement: 55,000 tons (standard) 67,000 tons (fully loaded) is medium-sized!!

Most of the US aircraft carriers are supercarriers in the 100,000-ton class.

CVN 65) Enterprise is home at Norfolk Military Port in Virginia, USA, with a full load of 93,970 tons.

CVN 68) Nimitz is home at Norfolk Military Port in Virginia, USA, with a full load of 102,000 tons.

CVN 77) USS Bush is home at Norfolk Military Port in Virginia, USA, with a full load of more than 100,000 tons.

The Varyag port carrier, which is now being rebuilt, is medium-sized.

Agree with the upstairs, the Chinese aircraft carrier is medium taste. After all, it was heavy on the taste from the beginning, and China Hanggong still couldn't bear it.

<> "Will the future aircraft carrier be a heavy aircraft, or a medium aircraft?"

Compared with medium fighters, the biggest advantage of heavy fighters is that they have a larger bomb load, a larger range, a longer combat radius, a longer air time, and a stronger combat capability. This is conducive to reducing the range of maneuver of the aircraft carrier formation and improving the rapid response capability.

However, the space of an aircraft carrier is still much smaller than that of a land airfield. Heavy aircraft will increase the difficulty of take-off and landing, and heavy aircraft will waste more deck area due to their large size and placed on the aviation deck and in the hangar.

The biggest advantage of medium-sized carrier-based fighters and heavy fighters is that they have a relatively high cost-effectiveness ratio, are easy to take off and land, and can increase the number of aircraft carriers on the aircraft carrier. Taking the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier of the United States as an example, it mainly uses medium-sized F A-18 Hornet fighters, with a carrying capacity of up to 90 aircraft, which is equivalent to an air wing. Russia's Kuznetzov-class aircraft carriers use heavy Su-33 fighters with only twenty aircraft.

The United States has also developed several types of heavy carrier-based aircraft in history, which were later eliminated due to take-off and landing problems. The famous F-14 Panda fighter is relatively heavy, which is also one of the reasons for its retirement. As a country with many years of experience in using aircraft carriers, the United States has chosen medium-sized carrier-based aircraft as the intermediate force of aircraft carrier-based aircraft.

Although in some cases, combat units also complained about the combat capability of medium aircraft.

Due to the increasing power and range of anti-ship missiles, it is becoming more and more difficult for medium-sized carrier-based aircraft to meet the needs of regional air defense, and it cannot be said that there is no possibility for heavy aircraft to be re-mounted on ships.

Light aircraft carriers and aircraft carriers are two types of aircraft carriers with different sizes and capabilities.

1.Size and displacement: Light aircraft carriers are usually smaller, and their displacement is generally less than 20,000 tons. Aircraft carriers, on the other hand, usually have a larger size and displacement and can exceed 100,000 tons.

2.Aircraft capacity: Light aircraft carriers have relatively small carrier-based aviation forces, generally carrying about 20 to 40 aircraft. Aircraft carriers, on the other hand, have a larger carrier-based aviation force and can carry dozens to hundreds of aircraft.

3.Type of aircraft that can be carried: Due to the limitation of carrier aircraft capacity, light aircraft carriers are usually mainly equipped with vertical short take-off and landing holes (V STOL) or ***, and do not have a skin deck and catapult for carrier-based aircraft to take off and land.

Aircraft carriers, on the other hand, have large carrier-based aircraft decks, catapults, and arresting cables, and can carry various types of fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft.

4.Tasks and roles: Light aircraft carriers are generally used for missions such as countering low-intensity threats, maritime patrols, and near-shore operations.

They are suitable for situations that require flexible maneuverability and a small number of carrier-based aircraft. Aircraft carriers, on the other hand, have a larger carrier-based aviation force and ocean-going combat capabilities, and can carry out more complex carrier-based aviation operations, such as air superiority warfare, long-range strikes, and far-sea patrols.

It should be noted that the difference between a light aircraft carrier and an air carrier is not strictly defined, but a relative classification. Different countries and military organizations also have different definitions, plans, and naming of aircraft carriers. Therefore, in specific cases, there may be a certain overlap and overlap between these two types of aircraft carriers.

Now it is generally divided only by the amount of displacement.

In terms of displacement, aircraft carriers are classified as heavy, medium, and light. The heavy aircraft carrier has a displacement of 6100,000 tons, 60,100 aircraft, mainly conventional take-off and landing aircraft weighing 20,300 tons, and a maximum combat range of 800,100 kilometers. Medium-sized aircraft carriers have a displacement of 350,000 tons and 15,500 aircraft, mainly conventional take-off and landing aircraft weighing 10,20 tons or vertical short take-off and landing aircraft, and medium-sized aircraft carrier battle groups can be deployed in medium and distant sea areas to carry out fleet air defense, anti-ship, anti-submarine and ground attack missions, with a maximum combat range of 400,600 km. The light aircraft carrier has a displacement of 10,000 tons and 15 30 aircraft, mainly vertical short take-off and landing aircraft and a large number of aircraft, and this kind of aircraft carrier battle group can be deployed in the near middle sea to carry out air defense, anti-submarine, and anti-ship combat missions, with a maximum combat range of 200 400 kilometers.

No. It should be counted as a medium-sized aircraft carrier.

Liaoning Ship Formerly known as the "Marshal Kuznetsov" class aircraft carrier "Varyag" of the Soviet Navy, the No. 2 ship "Varyag", with a standard displacement of 10,000 tons and a full load of 10,000 tons. The flight deck is 300 meters long and 70 meters wide; The carrying capacity is about 40 aircraft.

Compared with the "Nimitz" class of the United States, the standard displacement is 10,000 tons, and the full load displacement is 10,000 tons. The flight deck is meters long, meters; It has more than 80 aircraft.

It can be seen that there is not much difference in size, but the size of the carrier aircraft and the displacement are smaller.

The British Invincible class has a displacement of only 20,000 tons, and the flight deck is long and wide; The carrier aircraft capacity is only about 20 aircraft. This is a real light aircraft carrier.

Italy's "Garibaldi" is only more than 10,000 tons.

If the standards of American aircraft carriers are used, the Nimitz-class giant aircraft carrier, and the French Charles de Gaulle is relatively a medium-sized aircraft carrier. China's Liaoning is larger than the Charles de Gaulle in terms of size and displacement, smaller than the Nimitz-class, and can be regarded as a large and medium-sized aircraft carrier.

Light aircraft carriers such as the British Invincible class, Italy's Garibaldija, India's Vilante, and Thailand's and Spain's smaller aircraft carriers. At best, this light aircraft carrier is about the same as the American Wasp-class amphibious assault ships.

The Varyag should be a regular aircraft carrier.

Light under 30,000, medium to 30,000, and large above 60,000, of course it is not light.

It is about the same tonnage as Charles de Gaulle, and it is a medium-sized aircraft carrier.

It's light, and this tonnage is just a large ship.

In terms of displacement, aircraft carriers are classified as heavy, medium, and light.

The heavy aircraft carrier has a displacement of 6100,000 tons, 60,100 aircraft, mainly conventional take-off and landing aircraft weighing 20,300 tons, and a maximum combat range of 800,100 kilometers.

Medium-sized aircraft carriers have a displacement of 350,000 tons and 15,500 aircraft, mainly conventional take-off and landing aircraft weighing 10,20 tons or vertical short take-off and landing aircraft, and medium-sized aircraft carrier battle groups can be deployed in medium and distant sea areas to carry out fleet air defense, anti-ship, anti-submarine and ground attack missions, with a maximum combat range of 400,600 km.

The light aircraft carrier has a displacement of 10,000 tons and 15 30 aircraft, mainly vertical short take-off and landing aircraft and a large number of aircraft, and this kind of aircraft carrier battle group can be deployed in the near middle sea to carry out air defense, anti-submarine, and anti-ship combat missions, with a maximum combat range of 200 400 kilometers.

Modern aircraft carriers can be divided into three categories: heavy aircraft carriers with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons and capable of carrying hundreds of aircraft; light aircraft carriers with a displacement of between 10,000 and 10,000 tons and carrying about 45 aircraft; An escort aircraft carrier with a displacement of only about 10,000 tons, equipped with armor and underwater protection compartments. According to the size of the displacement, people divide aircraft carriers into three categories: large, medium and small:

More than 60,000 tons are large aircraft carriers, and 260,000 tons are medium aircraft carriers; Less than 20,000 tons are small (light) aircraft carriers. In addition, people also divide them into three categories: attack aircraft carriers, anti-submarine aircraft carriers, and general-purpose aircraft carriers according to their combat missions.

The Nimitz and Kitty Hawk classes of the US Navy and the Kuznetsov class of the CIS Navy are both large aircraft carriers with a displacement of 6.1 million tons. Among them, the US Navy's "Nimitz" class has reached 100,000 tons, carrying 86,90 aircraft, 20,300 tons of fixed-wing fighters, attack planes, antisubmarine planes, early warning planes, electronic warfare planes, and so on, with a maximum air and sea dominance radius of about 1,000 kilometers. The main missions it carries out are:

Deploy ocean-going combat forces around the world to seize air and sea supremacy in operational sea areas; attack surface ships, submarines and transport vessels; bombing and attacking enemy port bases, shore-based facilities and strategic targets deep inland; blockade of sea lanes and protection of sea lines of communication; projecting forces to support amphibious operations; Show off force, suppress the crisis, etc. The U.S. Navy will maintain a formation of 6 aircraft carriers, believing that aircraft carriers are still the backbone of surface combat ships in the era of missile nuclear **; According to the needs of actual combat, the ratio of actual attack force and support force can be changed at any time, and a variety of tasks can be performed; It is highly mobile and can be kept in a constant state of readiness.

It is a medium-sized aircraft carrier.

Varyag with a displacement of 55000-59000 tons.

1. Heavy aircraft carriers. With a displacement of 6 to 100,000 tons, 60 to 100 carrier-based fighters, mainly fixed-wing conventional take-off and landing fighters weighing 20 to 30 tons, and a combat range of 800 to 1,000 kilometers, it can be deployed globally for ocean-going operations and carry out air defense, anti-ship, anti-submarine, early warning, reconnaissance, and ground attack missions. Such as the United States"Nimitz class"、"Kitty Hawk class"is typical.

2. Medium-sized aircraft carriers. With a displacement of 3 to 50,000 tons, 15 to 50 carrier-based fighters, mainly fixed-wing conventional take-off and landing fighters weighing 10 to 20 tons or vertical short-range lifting fighters, with a combat range of 400 to 600 kilometers, it can be deployed in the medium and far seas to carry out fleet air defense, anti-ship, anti-submarine and ground attack missions, Russia"Kuznetsov"This is the case with the number.

3. Light empty mother. With a displacement of about 1 to 30,000 tons, 15 to 30 carrier-based fighters, mainly vertical short-range lifting fighters and fighters, with a combat range of 200 to 400 kilometers, it can be deployed in the near middle sea to carry out air defense, anti-ship, anti-submarine, early warning and other tasks. Such as the United Kingdom"Invincible", Italy"Gary Potdy"No. and so on.

Waglian belongs to medium-sized aircraft carriers.

At present, the United States is the only country in the world that can build large aircraft carriers, and it has 12 aircraft carriers for a long time.

The Varyag is a medium-sized aircraft carrier with Russia"USS Kuznetsov"It's a sister ship.
