When will our country have aircraft carriers?

The reason is that according to common sense, the Varyag in Dalian should be in service, but there has been no movement so far, so it is worth everyone's attention Moreover, we have never used aircraft carriers (unlike Japan, which used aircraft carriers in World War II and have experience), and we don't know much about modern aircraft carriers, so we should at least wait until the Varyag training aircraft carrier (the aircraft carrier has no combat effectiveness, because Ukraine is selling aircraft carriers in order not to offend both sides, it blew up the bottom of the ship So now the Varyag only needs one torpedo and is likely to be blown up and sunk) service and training mature, such as formations, carrier-based aircraft takeoff, etc., before a new aircraft carrier can be built, but recently it has been reported that our country has stopped improving the Varyag and rebuilding the aircraft carrier, which is estimated to be commissioned around 2015.

The first country to have a suspicious aircraft carrier was the United Kingdom, which was converted in 1918 with the cruiser "Ohashi Fury", which was also the world's first aircraft carrier (non-seaplane carrier), and then the British designed and built the "Athletic God" was the world's first specially designed aircraft carrier, but because of the long construction process, the "Hosho" designed and built by Japan was completed on December 27, 1922 at the Yokosuka Naval Shipyard, making Japan the first country in the world to have a dedicated aircraft carrier.

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.

Let's take a look at the role played by US aircraft carriers in the future Second Korean War to see whether aircraft carriers are worth building. Hasn't China always advocated a national defense policy of active defense? Is building an aircraft carrier still an active defense?

The Varyag aircraft carrier was bought by China in Ukraine at that time, not made in China.

There are no active aircraft carriers. The Varyag is an empty shell and cannot be put into service.

China does not yet have aircraft carriers in active service.

Of course there is: the Varyag is not?

The first country to have aircraft carriers was the United Kingdom, and although the United States was the first to successfully conduct experiments on aircraft taking off and landing on ships, the first aircraft carriers were not born in the United States, but appeared in the United Kingdom.

In 1913, Britain was the first to build an aircraft carrier specifically for aircraft. By the beginning of the First World War, the major powers had built ** for loading aircraft. But they are not the same as the aircraft carriers we see today.

Their decks were separated from the middle by a high bridge, and the front deck was naturally inclined at an angle to the sea for carrier aircraft take-off; The latter one is used for landing, which is of course inconvenient and unsafe. In 1918, Britain finally invented the all-through-deck aircraft carrier "Hundred-Eyed Giant". The "Cyclops" is a converted passenger liner, and its flight deck runs through it, and there is no bridge in between, so that the distance between the take-off and landing of the aircraft is greatly extended, and the take-off and landing of the aircraft is also safer and more convenient.

This kind of flight deck is still used today, and it is called the "Tongchang" type, which is what we see today as the flight deck on an aircraft carrier.

Since the early aircraft were lighter and slower, they could take off and land on the general "long" deck, but as aircraft technology advanced, it became heavier and faster, and taking off and landing from the deck became a problem. So people began to come up with ways to help planes take off from aircraft carriers. At that time, the main methods of testing were:

Pushed with compressed air; Propelled with the thrust of an instantaneous burst of explosives; Fly with a flywheel; Catapult with a hydraulic catapult and so on. As for the aircraft interception device used for landing, it was originally used to directly pull the landing plane, and later developed to lay many sacks full of sand on both sides of the flight deck, and tie some thick ropes in the middle, and the landing plane can land on the ship by putting down the tail hook and hooking the rope. These methods now seem very backward, but they have accumulated valuable experience for the development of aircraft carriers.

The above-mentioned can be said to be the first stage in the development of aircraft carriers. They are basically in the early stages of development from scratch.

In July 1917, Britain began to build the world's first "pure-blooded" aircraft carrier, and named it the "Athletic" aircraft carrier (also translated as "Hermes") in honor of the originator of aircraft carriers, the world's first seaplane carrier "Athletic".
