Before 2020, it is most likely that China will have one or two aircraft carriers in service? 5

It should be one.

You can check this question on the Internet, the second floor is a bit messy. Because you can check the time from the construction to the service of American aircraft carriers, most of them are 8-10 (uh, I can't remember exactly), China has no experience in building aircraft carriers at present, and it is generally believed that the "Varyag" will be changed to a training aircraft carrier (if the situation is tense, it may directly participate in the war).

Also, because China has no experience in building aircraft carriers, how can a medium-sized aircraft carrier be built and put into service in 10 years, so I think China should have 2 aircraft carriers around 2020.

There should be two, one built in-house, and one most likely a modified Varyag, and one is needed in the South China Sea, it goes without saying.

3 ships! One "Varyag" as a training ship, one officially commissioned and deployed in the South China Sea (without catapults, sliding decks), and one just launched as a test of various new technologies (catapults, new carrier-based aircraft)!

It's nice to have one. Judging from the current progress, it will be very good for the aircraft carrier to be launched in 2012, and according to the general progress, it will be very good to be able to equip the troops by 2015, and the formation of combat effectiveness around 2018 will be very good, so it will be difficult to have 2 aircraft carriers in service before 2020.

There are two works under construction, which will be completed by 2020. Around 2015, it seems that another one will be built, that is, 3 ships.

One Varyag.

A domestic aircraft carrier.

2。It needs to be echoed. The South China Sea must be accompanied by one. The north also engaged in ministry.

At the current stage, there are two aircraft carriers, namely the Shandong and the Liaoning.

However, foreign media reported a few years ago that China is building more than two aircraft carriers at the same time!

Shandong ship.

In 2022, China has 2 aircraft carriers, and 3 outfitting attack ships, and the third aircraft carrier has not yet been completed, so in 2022, there will be 2 aircraft carriers, and the attack ships are expected to be included in the second half of the year, plus a total of 3 that have been commissioned.

By 2022, China will now have two aircraft carriers in service, namely the Liaoning and Shandong, and one is under construction.

As of 2020, China has a total of 2 aircraft carriers, namely the Liaoning aircraft carrier and the Shandong aircraft carrier. Aircraft carriers are an indispensable weapon of the modern navy, relying on aircraft carriers, a country can exert military pressure and conduct operations far from its national territory, without relying on local airfields. An aircraft carrier is generally the core ship of an aircraft carrier battle group, while the aircraft carrier provides air cover and long-range strike capabilities.

2 ships, namely Liaoning and Shandong.

It seems that there are probably three of them.

In 2023 there are 11 ships.

The United States has a total of 11 aircraft carriers in active service, and there are a total of 23 aircraft carriers in the world, and the United States alone has 11 of them, accounting for almost half, and more importantly, the United States aircraft carriers are not only numerous, but also very powerful. Among the eleven aircraft carriers, ten Nimitz-class aircraft carriers have a displacement of about 90,000 tons.

There is also a Ford-class aircraft carrier, which is a 100,000-ton giant aircraft carrier, not only that, but there are also two Ford-class aircraft carriers of more than 100,000 tons under construction, such a fleet size is by no means comparable to ordinary countries, so there is only one country in the first echelon, the United States.

Ford design features

The Ford-class is the first aircraft carrier in the United States to be designed using computer-aided tools (CAD), and the application of virtual imaging technology can accurately simulate every design detail in the design process, and solve the relevant layout problems in advance.

At first glance, the layout of the Ford-Class appears to be broadly similar to that of the Nimitz-Class, although in reality there are still quite a few improvements. In terms of flight deck layout, as mentioned above, the CVN-21 had a new configuration at the beginning of the planning, such as a bold idea to separate the landing area and take-off area on both sides of the hull; However, after considering the cost and risk, the Ford class is still based on the configuration of the current U.S. aircraft carriers.

As of April 1, 2021, there are 2 aircraft carriers officially in service in China, namely Liaoning and Shandong.

1. Liaoning ship. The predecessor of the Liaoning aircraft carrier is the Marshal Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier subship Varyag of the Soviet Navy, in the mid-to-late 80s of the 20th century, the Varyag was built in Ukraine when it was disintegrated by the Soviet Union, and the construction project was interrupted, with a completion rate of 68%. 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. The Shandong ship of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy is China's first independently built domestic aircraft carrier, based on the research of the former Soviet Union's Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier and China's Liaoning aircraft carrier, and is China's first domestic aviation carrier in the true sense.

China's second aircraft carrier, the Shandong, entered service on December 17, 2019.

December 17, 2019 will be a day that will go down in history in the history of the development of the Chinese Navy, because on this day, the first domestic aircraft carrier "Shandong" was officially delivered at the Sanya Military Port in Hainan Province. This is a milestone event, marking the official ushering of the era of domestic aircraft carriers for the Chinese Navy.

And for Chinese, December 17 is a very special day. 131 years ago today, that is, on December 17, 1888, the Beiyang Naval Division was formally established in Liugong Island, Weihai. What happened after that is unforgettable for every Chinese.

Therefore, choosing such a date to usher in the commissioning of the Shandong ship is itself of very important historical significance.

The choice of "Shandong" as the name of the first domestically produced aircraft carrier is mainly due to the fact that the Qingdao Military Port in Shandong Province has made an important contribution to the construction of a dedicated military port and support facilities for domestically produced aircraft carriers. In addition to supplying the aircraft carrier squadron with ammunition, fuel, and other materials, the Qingdao Naval Base also solves problems such as the daily training of carrier-based aircraft pilots and the daily life of the officers and men of the formation.

China's second aircraft carrier, Shandong, was commissioned on the afternoon of December 17, 2019.

The service history of the Shandong ship.

On November 19, 2013, the construction of the slipway began at the Dalian Shipyard of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, the construction of the slipway began in March 2015, and the dock was launched on April 26, 2017. On May 13, 2018, the ship slowly left the dock at the Dalian Shipyard of China Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. to carry out its first sea trial. On May 18, 2018, the first sea test was completed.

On August 26, 2018, the ship left the Dalian shipyard for the second sea trial, and entered the port on September 1, which lasted seven days. On October 28, 2018, the ship went to sea for the third time for sea trials, and the Navy's No. 89 comprehensive support ship went to sea with the aircraft carrier for the first time.

On December 27, 2018, the ship went to sea for its fourth sea trial, and the deck was equipped with carrier-based model aircraft. On February 27, 2019, the ship went to sea for the fifth sea trial. On May 25, 2019, the ship went to sea for its sixth sea trial.

On August 1, 2019, the ship went to sea for the seventh sea trial. On October 15, 2019, the ship went to sea for the eighth sea trial.

On November 17, 2019, the ship passed through the Taiwan Strait and went to the South China Sea for testing and training, carrying carrier-based aircraft. After that, the ship was berthed at the Sanya Military Port. On the afternoon of December 17, 2019, China's first domestically built aircraft carrier, Shandong, was delivered to the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy at a military port in Sanya, Hainan.

The second aircraft carrier (Type 001A aircraft carrier) was developed by China itself, started construction in November 2013, and began construction in March 2015. Launched on April 26, 2017. It is expected to enter service in 2019.

It has taken years to build now, and it will take about years to complete).

At present, the construction of the main hull of the aircraft carrier has been completed, and the main system equipment such as power and power have been installed in place. Undocking and launching is one of the major nodes in the construction of aircraft carriers, marking the major phased achievements of China's independent design and construction of aircraft carriers. In the next step, the aircraft carrier will carry out system equipment commissioning and outfitting construction as planned, and carry out mooring tests in an all-round way.

Judging from the current state, it is estimated that the water will be launched by the end of the year.

Referring to the experience of the United States and Russia, it takes 30 to 36 months after launching for berthing, equipment commissioning and personnel training. After that, it can be officially put into service.

That is, around 2020.
