At about 16 o'clock in the afternoon of September 23, 2012, China's first aircraft carrier platform No. 16 held a handover ceremony in Dalian, and the No. 16 ship and the adjacent anchored No. 88 ship were all covered with national flags. At 16:40, the five-star red flag was raised on the mast of the bridge of the No. 16 ship, the August 1st military flag was raised at the bow of the ship, and the naval flag was raised at the stern, and at 17:20, the handover ceremony was completed. On September 25, the ship was on trial voyage, the captain was Zhang Zheng, and the political commissar was Mei Wen.

The captain of the Liaoning said on CCTV that 1,000 crew members consume 10-12 tons of food every day.

And the American Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, with about 6,000 crews, has 10 tons of food per day.

The gap between China and the United States is relatively large.

Launched on September 20th.

It's called the Liaoning ship. About 1200 crews.

The captain's name is Zhang Zheng.

It is mainly used to train related professionals.

From 2014, China will build two domestically produced aircraft carriers.

According to actual needs, the first domestic aircraft carrier should be about the same size as the Liaoning, and the tonnage may be slightly larger. The similarity of the structure of the domestic aircraft carrier to the Liaoning means that it will also adopt the method of gliding and take-off, and it is unlikely that a catapult will be installed.

China is building its first domestically built aircraft carrier in Shanghai, and is developing a carrier-based early warning aircraft similar to the U.S. Navy's E-2C, while South Korea, Japan, India and even the Philippines are advancing aircraft carrier development plans to varying degrees, and the Asian aircraft carrier race has begun. China is the only Asian country that has completely developed its own aircraft carriers, and the existing aircraft carriers are not equipped with carrier-based catapults, which may put them at a disadvantage in competition with Japan and South Korea.

In 2015, in 2020, in the next 10 years Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy will have about six aircraft carriers.

China's second aircraft carrier is the Guangdong, named in memory of Deng Shichang, at least ten shipyards in the country are jointly manufactured, and it is expected to be launched in 2024, and there may be other aircraft carriers launched, but before 2024, Guangdong is likely to be launched. According to the "Guangdong" ship, the tonnage will catch up with or be greater than 8 tons, and it is a heavy aircraft carrier, which is equal to or exceeds that of the American Kitty Hawk, and the "Guangdong" uses domestic diesel engines and four domestic catapult launchers.

In the future, China will have 5 aircraft carriers, and the Liaoning has been launched [the Liaoning is only used as an experimental aircraft carrier], including two diesel-powered and two nuclear-powered heavy aircraft carriers, using catapult launchers.

Including aircraft carriers, more advanced carrier-based aircraft, destroyers, [nuclear] submarines, etc. will appear one after another. China's determination to safeguard its sovereignty is unwavering.

In 2020, China will have three domestic aircraft carriers in service and one under construction. The first will be built in Dalian, which is larger than the Liaoning, 315 meters long, 78 meters wide, with a full load displacement of 70,000 tons, no change in the take-off and landing mode, carrying about 50 aircraft, and is expected to be launched this year or next year. The second ship is made in Shanghai, which has changed a lot, 330 meters long, 78 meters wide, with a full load displacement of 10,000 tons, and will take off with double glide and double electric bombs, and the carrier-based aircraft can carry fixed-wing early warning aircraft and large unmanned aerial vehicles, carrying about 70 aircraft.

It is expected to be launched next year or the year after. The third ship, jointly built by Dalian and Shanghai, will be the first to innovate, and will be powered by a mix of nuclear power, four nuclear power generators, and four steam engines. It is 340 meters long and 80 meters wide, with a full load of about 90,000 tons.

All of them will be ejected using electromagnetic catapults, a total of 4 units. More than 80 carrier aircraft. It is expected to be launched in the year.

The fourth will start construction in 20 and is expected to be all nuclear-powered, with a length of 340 meters, a width of 80 meters, and more than 90 aircraft. The above is a personal opinion and is only for reference. If you want to share more, me.

I hope that China will become strong and realize the Chinese dream.

The Liaoning is about to carry out live-fire ...... carrier-based aircraft

The first domestically produced ship has definitely already begun.

Now there are 1 in service (Liaoning), one in sea trials (Shandong), and one under construction (unnamed).

By 2030, maybe 6 ships will be in service, and there will be no way to say in the future, according to national strength and demand!

1. According to the fleet, there are 2 ships in each fleet, a total of 6 ships. Of course, aircraft carriers are directly managed by the navy and have nothing to do with the fleet. It's just that the home port is placed in the major fleets.

2. According to the development idea of aircraft carriers, it is 2 ships with sliding jump take-off and steam turbine power (No. 16 ship and No. 17 ship); 2 steam turbine powered, steaming bombs or electric bombs (ships 18 and 19), and 2 nuclear powered ships (ships 20 and 21).

3. According to the use of aircraft carriers, there are two ships for sea cruise, two ships for port repair, and two ships for slipway overhaul and maintenance.

4. In terms of speed, China has a total of 2 shipyards to build aircraft carriers, and conventionally powered aircraft carriers are launched in about 4 years and put into service in 6 years. Nuclear power is more complicated, two more years, counting 6 years can be launched. In more than 10 years, 4 aircraft carriers can also be built. Together with the Liaoning and Shandong, there are 6 ships in total.

So, by 2030, China will have at least 6 aircraft carriers.
