    Talent and technology are big problems, and I'm sure that without the help of other countries (Russia), we would not be able to complete the construction of aircraft carriers on our own.

    If there is no shortage of talents, can't the ships of our navy that can be called modern be early on their own? In fact, all of it is produced in Russia...

    China has never been short of talents, the question is what is the point of making it, and whether it can bring absolute benefits after making it ......Interests are everything.

    The problem of talent is indeed one of the reasons, but the main reason is the problem of funding.

    China wants to build aircraft carriers? I don't even know about it, because what I said before is that China's sea area is not enough for aircraft carriers to fight back and forth, so there is no need to build that!

    There is no shortage, but what is the use of building a mothership? Maintenance is too expensive.

    First of all, China is quite capable of creating the aircraft carrier hull itself. The displacement of the largest tanker manufactured in our country reached 35w tons.

    Three times more than the American aircraft carriers. However, our country lacks experience in building aircraft carriers, so our country's first aircraft carrier was not self-built, but refurbished the Waglian, which was imported from Russia

    In addition, there are also bottlenecks in China's key technologies for manufacturing aircraft carriers. There is news that the Waglian is expected to be launched next year, which means that there may have been a breakthrough in technology. However, the issue of carrier-based aircraft has been unresolved, and the lifting system, radar system, electronic early warning system, special steel required for the deck, and the related configuration of the aircraft carrier formation are still unknown.

    So even if Waglian is launched, it will not form a combat force within four or five years. And how much combat power will there be after that? God knows

    As a matter of fact, China already has the ability to build aircraft carriers, and there is no technical problem. In view of the large number of neighboring countries around our maritime borders, building such a bulky thing will really become the target of public criticism, and it is too vulnerable to attack. In fact, the real reason is that the future military competition will be in space, not on the ground, let alone the ocean, and the space age is unstoppable.

    China does not have any technical difficulties in creating aircraft carriers. Chinese catapults, nuclear-powered engines, carrier-based aircraft are all the most advanced.

    The main thing is power, catapults, special materials and other difficulties. It is necessary to build, and it is inevitable that there will be difficulties. If there is no difficulty, building an aircraft carrier will lose a lot of meaning.

    Much more, first of all, the engine, and secondly, the hull design, and the carrier-based aircraft is now only a test flight.

    I think the main problem is that some core technologies are not mature.

  12. Anonymous users2024-01-30

    It cannot be said that China does not have the technology to build aircraft carriers at all, and China should have mastered part of the aircraft carrier technology, but this technology is not yet fully mature.

    China has never built a real aircraft carrier before, and the technology is mainly from the "Melbourne", "Minsk", "Kiev" and "Varyag" purchased from other countries after the 80s of the last century, China has conducted a series of studies on these aircraft carriers, and has basically mastered the main structure and internal structure of the aircraft carrier. However, the technical level involved in modern aircraft carriers is certainly not limited to the overall structure of aircraft carriers, aircraft carriers involve a lot of complex shipboard electronic equipment, and the aircraft carriers obtained by China are all scrapped and semi-finished aircraft carriers, and the reference of electronic technology is almost zero.

    At present, the problems faced by China in building aircraft carriers are mainly the materials for the construction of aircraft carriers and the electronic equipment system of aircraft carriers, the steel required for aircraft carriers is the highest strength of all the first, I don't know whether domestic steel can be competent, China has no experience in developing electronic equipment for large enterprises before, how to apply modern electronic technology to aircraft carriers is the key. However, there have been rumors that the "Varyag" aircraft carrier that is now being renovated in Dalian will be completed and go to sea within this year, and China is also building two domestic aircraft carriers imitating the "Varyag" at the Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai. It is a good thing that China can build aircraft carriers, but even so, China's aircraft carriers are still in their infancy, and they will have to go through a series of experiments before they can be put into use after completion.

    It can be made if needed. The technology is still immature, because China has no experience in building aircraft carriers before, and this kind of technology is not something that can be learned at once, but after years of technology accumulation and personnel training.

    For example, the United States has built many aircraft carriers since the end of World War I, and has accumulated rich experience in building ships.

    Aircraft carriers are a huge system project, involving almost all technical fields, so they require a country's comprehensive technical level to be relatively high.

    It would be a blessing that China was able to independently develop and manufacture conventionally powered aircraft carriers (Varyag-class).

    As long as the country needs it, it will be able to get one out immediately, and I believe in the combat effectiveness of 13e people.

    It can't be said that there is none, but it is certainly not incomplete, and some problems must be solved through imports.

    At present, 30 percent of the world's large-tonnage ships are made in China, and the shipbuilding capacity is the second in the world (the first is South Korea). Now the 100,000-ton, 200,000-ton, and 300,000-ton container ships running all over the world, as long as the oil tankers are new ships, a large part of them are made in China, and the quality is really good.

    Secondly, from the material point of view, China solved the problem of manufacturing super-strength steel for aircraft carriers some time ago, so the material problem has also been overcome by China, and the domestic materials used in the repair process of the Liaoning aircraft carrier are used.

    Finally, judging from the internal equipment of the aircraft carrier, etc., there is no problem, because when the Liaoning was bought, it was an empty shell, and there was nothing empty inside, all of which were installed by the Chinese themselves, because it involved national defense secrecy reasons, imported things could not be used, so they were all domestically produced, and now the Liaoning is also very good.

    If it can be built, the Liaoning ship can be completed, and there is no problem in building a new one.

    Yes, there is already a Liaoning.

    It's a matter of time, but I don't think it's going to be a 10-year game.

    1. The engine is a steam turbine, while the UK is all-electric propulsion, the US is nuclear-powered, and at least it should be a gas turbine.

    2. The combat effectiveness of the J-15 is not enough to match the F35 of the United States.

    3. The number of fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft is relatively small, only more than 20, and the J-15 is large, which is the main reason for the small number of carrier-based aircraft.

    4. Due to the use of steam turbines, there must be chimneys, so the ship island appears very large, which is not conducive to stealth.

    5. Adopt sliding jump take-off, so that the plane can not be parked in the place where the deck is glided, and the space is wasted.

    In the recent "Military Intelligence Decoding" program, Mr. Cao Weidong, a well-known military expert, said that the development of China's aircraft carriers should be developed in the direction of large tonnage and nuclear power, and it can also be equipped with stealth fighters or drones to improve combat capabilities. It can be seen from this that China's aircraft carrier dream has just begun. For the question:

    How technically difficult is it to build an aircraft carrier? "Let's start with a brief rundown, China's first Liaoning ship No. 16 and the second Type 001A aircraft carrier.

    The Liaoning ship (see picture below) is familiar to all of us, and it has taken more than ten years since its keel was placed in service in earnest. The construction of the Type 001A aircraft carrier began in 2013 and is expected to be put into service in 2020*, which will only take about 7 years. Although in general speaking, there is no major difference between the two aircraft carriers, the time and effort spent cannot be calculated in words and simple calculations.

    For example, when we were building the Liaoning, our technology at that time was even difficult to build a large hull, so we had the idea of buying, which is also the origin of the Varyag (see picture above) was later bought.

    But when it comes to this year's Type 001A aircraft carrier (as shown below), we can say that it is completely nationally produced from internal design to external structure, and some experts even call it the first aircraft carrier in the true sense of China. If you have to talk about the biggest difference between it and the Liaoning, it is the increase in full load displacement. According to the data, the full load displacement of the Liaoning ship is 60,900 tons, while the full load displacement of the Type 001A aircraft carrier is nearly 80,000 tons.

    But do you know how technically difficult it is to increase the amount of water with a simple change in numbers that we look like to the naked eye? It can be said that almost every time a certain amount of water is added, our relevant staff need to go through a lot of accurate calculations and countless experiments, such as the military's special improved EEDI energy efficiency design index, specific evaluation of the aircraft carrier, etc., for optimizing and transforming the original design. *Since there are not many official disclosures on core technologies, I will not continue to dig deeper here.

    It can be seen that it is not easy for all countries to build a modern high-tech aircraft carrier. Rather, it requires the crystallization of people's wisdom for several generations, and the long-term drama and lessons learned in the shipbuilding industry, combined with actual calculations and repeated experiments to benefit the construction of aircraft carriers. Of course, it has to be said that we should also rationally learn and draw on the latest technology as much as possible like foreign countries with the latest science and technology, so as to "extend" aircraft carriers that are more suitable for our own conditions.

    Finally, we believe that whether it is the legendary aircraft carrier 002A or the ultimate aircraft carrier CV03 drawn and designed by netizens, it is very likely that it will appear in front of the world in a more high-end way in the near future, and protect our motherland to the greatest extent.

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.

I haven't seen the exact report, but I personally think it's unlikely, building an aircraft carrier is a project that costs a lot of money and resources, and the only country that can build several aircraft carriers at the same time in a few years is the United States during the Cold War. If you think about it, the cost of an aircraft carrier is between 4 billion and 5 billion US dollars, and it costs 20 billion US dollars to build 4 aircraft carriers, which refers only to the cost of medium-sized aircraft carriers, without considering the current state of China's technology (some aircraft carrier technologies are not yet mature). What's more, if four aircraft carriers have already been built, these four aircraft carriers will inevitably be launched continuously, how can China have enough carrier-based aircraft to load ships at that time? >>>More
