China's first self-built aircraft carrier dock has been completed water injection is about to water

April 23 afternoon, the first domestic aircraft carrier dock has been completed, this week will be launched.

According to the latest news, after 9 o'clock on April 23, the domestic aircraft carrier dock began to water, the hull has water reflection.

April 22, a netizen released the latest high-definition aircraft carrier aircraft, the current aircraft carrier has been completed outside the hull, scaffolding all removed, or will immediately water.

China's third aircraft carrier or at an alarming rate into the public eye

China's third aircraft carrier or at an alarming rate into the public eye

April 23 is the Chinese navy 68th birthday. For a strong army in a developing country, every birthday means a new journey. On the same day, the ship fleet from Changchun, missile frigate Jingzhou ship and integrated supply ship Chaohu ship composed of voyage mission formation, from Shanghai to Asia, Europe, Africa and Oceania more than 20 countries for nearly 180 days of friendly visits. "Global Times" reporter from the development of the aircraft carrier, Dibi Bu logistics supply base and the use of the Chinese Navy and the new track three aspects of the future of the Chinese navy to make a prospect, I hope the Chinese navy more and more powerful.
What does the domestic carrier mean?
Become a big navy has a lot of signs, which has a blue water Navy is essential to a hard indicator. Aircraft carrier battle group is simply the blue water Navy standard, which is why the 2012 Chinese Navy has the first aircraft carrier when the people so excited and excited, then "aircraft carrier style" accidental popularity is the best evidence.
Now China's domestic aircraft carrier will soon be launched, and civil enthusiasm once again that the development of the Chinese carrier and the inevitable relationship between the Navy. A close attention to the development of the Navy on the "Global Times" reporter said that the meaning of domestic aircraft carrier and Liaoning ship is very different. China's aircraft carrier is the first aircraft carrier built by China, from the shell to the inside are the concept of China's design, it has a great performance than the Liaoning ship has improved, such as can carry 32 to 36 F-15 fighters, Liaoning ship 1.5 times; radar and electronic systems and other aspects of the technical content is higher. At present, the world can build their own aircraft carrier without a few, the domestic aircraft carrier is about to show that China's aircraft carrier construction has its own design standards. This is the national political and economic development of the epitome, but also science and technology, economic, industrial construction level of the master. The person also said that China's aircraft carrier construction will not stop here, will use more advanced technology to prepare, so that the aircraft carrier road farther and farther.
China built the first domestic aircraft carrier speed, beyond the expectations of the outside world. This means that the Jiangnan Shipyard's third aircraft carrier may also be outside the imagination of the speed into the public eye. China will have three aircraft carriers, the formation of a combat readiness patrol, a training for a ship in the basic pattern of maintenance.
A military expert on the 23rd of the "Global Times" reporter said that the aircraft carrier for China has three main roles, one can improve the direction of China's maritime defense operations, the future of China's aircraft carrier can not only out of the first island chain, you can also out of the first The second is to maintain the safety of China's maritime channel, the maintenance of overseas interests, such as the current Chinese navy is in the Gulf of Aden, Somalia, the United States, the United States, the United States, the United States and other countries, Escort operations; third can make China better assume responsibility and obligations, including humanitarian relief operations.
Djibouti base is expected to be enabled
In 2017, Djibouti logistics support facilities may be put into use, which is for China's "Blue Water Navy" added a sign. At the end of November 2016, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, Fan Changlong, expressed his condolences to the officers and men of the armed forces in the implementation of the Djibouti security facilities. The overseas security facilities should strengthen co-ordination and speed up the construction progress and provide strong support for the overseas efforts of the military forces.
Chinese officials have repeatedly said that the Chinese base in Djibouti is mainly for the Navy Aden Gulf escort formation, African peacekeeping personnel to provide logistical support, mainly to combat piracy, peacekeeping and humanitarian relief, not to seek military expansion.
Djibouti strategic position is very important, guarding the Red Sea into the Indian Ocean strategy Long Road, Mani Channel, known as "sea throat," said, is connected to Europe, Asia, non-three continents between the important maritime strategic channel. Military experts on the "Global Times" reporter said that the protection base can significantly improve the Chinese escort fleet logistics comprehensive security capabilities, oil, vegetables and other material storage and personnel resting role is great. There can also be more space for humanitarian relief operations, peacekeeping and other forces.
There is time to enter the Arctic
In the media on the 23rd anniversary of the Chinese Navy 68 anniversary of the description, the Chinese navy from the "light blue" to "dark blue", the people of the naval track all over the six continents of the four oceans. Six continents here are still less Antarctica, or the Chinese naval track has yet to reach the north and south poles.
All along, the Arctic's natural resources are rich, the United States and Russia in the Arctic region of fierce competition. And the Chinese navy in the future one day whether to enter the Arctic is still unknown. Military experts on the "Global Times" reporter said that the current talk about this topic too early, the Chinese Navy into the Arctic does have a lot of practical difficulties, such as communications and ship cold resistance. Of course, if the future of China's nuclear submarines like the United States and Russia into the Arctic as ice patrol, but also play a strategic deterrent role.
China's participation in the development of the Arctic later, but there are foreign media that, with the Arctic become more busy, China will be more and more interested. When the Pentagon announced its Arctic Strategy in January, more than US defense experts said the new version of the Arctic Strategy did not mention China, but China's activities in the Arctic should attract US attention.
Extension and recommendation
Official media confirmed domestic aircraft carrier brush navy paint users support the name of Taiwan

Dalian is the first domestic aircraft carrier has been brush on a layer of Navy ash paint, the outside world are speculation will be April 23, the Navy Jianjiang Festival, and for the 001A aircraft carrier will be named, users are also very interested. Recently, there are sites for "naming" specially on the network for voting activities, voting results show that "Taiwan" won the highest vote.

Central media: domestic aircraft carrier has been brush on the paint seems to be waiting for a special node

@ Central Canton military: April 23 is the People's Navy set up the 68th anniversary. In a shipyard's dock, a Chinese self-built aircraft carrier has been painted on the paint, seems to be waiting for a special node.

What is the 002 carrier? Displacement increased to 80,000 tons of ejection took off

What is the 002 carrier? Displacement increased to 80,000 tons of ejection took off

002 aircraft carrier will be what kind of
In the first domestic aircraft carrier 17 will soon be on the occasion of the water, but also came the second domestic aircraft carrier is building news and photos, so this upgraded version of the 002 aircraft carrier naturally inspired a number of military fans of curiosity and concern , Especially around the use of steam ejection or electromagnetic catapult discussion is more enthusiastic, then 002 aircraft carrier will be what?

Ejection took off is yes
The Chinese Navy's first aircraft carrier No. 16 "Liaoning ship" and the first domestic aircraft carrier 17 are leap off, that is, with the flight deck front upturned elevation to the carrier-based aircraft to increase lift and take off the way, this way Although there is no need to take off the takeoff as complex takeoff system, but the defects are obvious. That is, can not take off a larger weight of the carrier-based aircraft, that is, lighter fighters can not be full of oil in the full load of the state take off, let alone a larger fixed-wing early warning aircraft. In this way, the fighter's voyage and combat performance will be very limited, the overall combat capability for the aircraft carrier is to be greatly reduced.
For the beginning of the aircraft carrier in the process of starting the Chinese navy, the first use of technology is relatively simple to take off, naturally nothing wrong, there are 001 and 001A type of choice to take off the reasons for taking off. And after the 16 and 17, after the development of two aircraft carriers, that is, to solve the problem after there is a natural upgrade to a higher level, then the use of ejection in the 002 type to improve the aircraft carrier's combat capability Is a matter of course.
What is the 002 carrier? Displacement increased to 80,000 tons of ejection took off
Figure 2: in the 002 type to take the ejection shot is a matter of course
So, almost all of the military observers are now recognized that the Chinese Navy's 002-type aircraft carrier is definitely taking a flat deck ejection took off, and announced the construction of the 002-type photo does not seem to see the flight deck front of the upturned angle.
Steam or electromagnetic?
With the gradual improvement of the performance of the aircraft, to World War II during the already 40% of the carrier-based aircraft is taken off by ejection, after World War II, the importance of ejection took off more prominent, there are two ejection took off, one steam ejection, Is the electromagnetic ejection, in which the steam ejection is the emergence of 1950, to today has more than 60 years of history, technically very mature, is currently the world's most widely used, that is, by steam to promote the carrier can be in the shorter Of the distance to take off, even if the aircraft weight is also no problem, which ensures that not only the fighter full load take off, and heavier fixed-wing early warning aircraft can also take off smoothly.
The electromagnetic bombs take off is the latest technology, so far only the United States has not yet launched the latest "Ford" aircraft carrier. Electromagnetic technology is the use of electromagnetic capacity to promote the aircraft take off, compared to the steam ejection, electromagnetic technology with system equipment, small, low requirements on the ship's auxiliary system, take off high efficiency, light weight, energy output range can be flexible adjustment, operation and maintenance easier And many other advantages, but also the future development of aircraft carrier ejection technology trends.
What is the 002 carrier? Displacement increased to 80,000 tons of ejection took off
Figure 3: Electromagnetic take-off is the future development trend of aircraft carrier ejection
However, the steam ejection is not the basis of electromagnetic catapult, the two in the theoretical basis and technical means on the different, there is no necessary technical link, so can not directly through the steam ejection and electromagnetic ejection. Since the steam ejection has been outdated, then why should this again and again take this detour? So many military observers believe that the possibility of 002 aircraft carrier using electromagnetic aircraft carrier is very large, 2016 Navy Commander Wu Shengli Admiral for the electromagnetic technology experts Chinese Academy of Engineering, Naval Engineering University Professor Ma Weiming umbrella photos, and carrier-based aircraft Of the shore training base has been installed electromagnetic catapult have become a 002 aircraft carrier step by step directly using electromagnetic bursts of circumstantial evidence.
Conventional power of large aircraft carrier
And 001-type aircraft carrier displacement is only 60,000-ton medium-sized aircraft carrier is different, 002-type aircraft carrier is bound to a higher level, generally believed that the displacement will reach 80,000-ton large aircraft carrier. This may also be stereotypes for the 002 type of reason, that is no longer 001-type improvement, but the real sense of the upgrading. Do not underestimate the displacement of an increase of 20,000 tons, for the 001 aircraft carrier, is to increase the one-third of the displacement, which means that the aircraft carrier space will be a very significant increase, then the relative aircraft carrier The number of aircraft, fuel, ammunition, etc. will have a significant increase, which for the aircraft carrier's comprehensive combat capability, not only is a simple increase of one-third, but a level of promotion. Especially with the ejection of the take-off and the increase of the carrier space, the ship-borne fixed-wing early warning aircraft becomes the composition of the carrier type carrier of the 002 carrier, which will greatly improve the aircraft carrier's early warning and command capability, and the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier fleet The leap.
What is the 002 carrier? Displacement increased to 80,000 tons of ejection took off
Figure 4: 002 aircraft carrier displacement will be significantly improved, which is 80,000 tons of "Forrest" class aircraft carrier.
Another important indicator of the performance of the aircraft carrier is to see the power system, the increase in displacement and ejection take-off mode, require the power system output power to have a larger capacity expansion, it was also suggested that the use of nuclear power will not doubt. Although China has built a number of nuclear power plants, but also the construction of nuclear-powered submarines, the use of nuclear power in ships, technically difficult is not large. And nuclear-powered aircraft carrier than the conventional power carrier in combat performance has a greater advantage, cost is also much greater, but after all, to drive such a large tonnage of the aircraft carrier, the requirements of the nuclear power system is still very high, for the development of aircraft carriers Just started in China, only the conversion, the construction of two aircraft carrier experience on the use of nuclear power, really step forward a bit big, the United States is also the construction of the 64 fleet aircraft carrier after the construction of the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, so 002 type using conventional power is still more wise and secure.

What is the third carrier in China? Expert: or with steam ejection

What is the third carrier in China? Expert: or with steam ejection

The picture shows the Liaoning ship is sailing. China news agency Zhang Kay photo
Recently, following the "Liaoning ship" and is being painted in China's first domestic aircraft carrier 001A, China's third aircraft carrier to become the focus of foreign media competing hot, and even users to design a third aircraft carrier renderings The
"Model 001A second Chinese aircraft carrier will be completed in 2017, the third is 002 type, completed in 2021, and its displacement will be larger, reaching 85,000 tons." Russia "today's economic news agency" recently said.
"After the transformation of the former Soviet aircraft carrier from the 'Liaoning' aircraft carrier, China's first domestic aircraft carrier built in Dalian is also about to launch." China's third aircraft carrier is also being built in Shanghai. "Japan" Asahi Shimbun "site over the same period Reported.
What is the third carrier? Technology Daily reporter with you to open the third aircraft carrier's head.
It is possible to use conventional steam power
As early as the end of 2016, China National Defense University Professor Jin Yannan has revealed that China's third aircraft carrier --002 aircraft carrier, has been in March 2015 in Jiangnan Changxing Shipyard started construction.
Navy military experts Li Jie accepted the Science and Technology Daily reporter said, 002 type of aircraft carrier, looks and the past is not the same as the Chinese aircraft carrier. He said, 002 type looks more like the United States, rather than the Russian aircraft carrier.
So, China's third aircraft carrier will not be the same as the United States, but also the world's most advanced nuclear power? "Nuclear-powered aircraft carrier technology requirements than conventional power aircraft carrier is much more complex.As the hull scale is limited, not only to the design and development of high-power, compact reactor, and the need to produce high concentration of fuel rods, but also Consider its security. "Li Jie said.
According to reports, compared with a number of reactors, and often can repair and replace the fuel of the ground civilian nuclear power plants, marine reactors for 20 years or so for a material, refueling when the need to remove the entire core from the hull, and this period is not in use. US marine reactor fuel concentration of 93% or more, more than the concentration of weapons, so as to ensure the use of decades of refueling. For example, the US "Enterprise" aircraft carrier equipped with eight reactors, not only take up a lot of space, but also in the use of the process also exposed a lot of problems.
Li Jie said that marine reactors have higher requirements for nuclear safety and sealing measures, because thousands of crew members live and work near the reactor, and in the event of a problem, the disaster is unthinkable. Marine reactors also require high control technology, civil reactors are generally smooth after the start of the operation, if the ship to high-speed navigation or berthing into the port, you need precise control of the core heat.
National Defense Science and Technology University National Security and Military Strategy Research Center military experts Professor Wang Qun also told the Science and Technology Daily reporter, design and manufacture of aircraft carrier nuclear reactor technical requirements are very high, although China has long been able to manufacture nuclear-powered submarines, but the conventional power carrier to nuclear-powered aircraft carrier , Involving a lot of key issues, and can not be achieved overnight.
It can be seen from the perspective of mature technology, the third aircraft carrier design is likely to use conventional steam power.
Is unlikely to use electromagnetic catapult
Last year in June, when the naval commander Wu Shengli for the Chinese Academy of Engineering, ship electromagnetic ejection device research expert Ma Weiming major general umbrella photos on the Internet caused by hot, then some media and observers once that China will be in the third Aircraft carrier on the use of electromagnetic ejection way.
In this regard, Li Jie believes that the development of China's aircraft carrier in some key technologies, although made a major breakthrough, but in order to achieve the degree of engineering and practical, but also a lot of experiments and running; if from a more secure point of view Consider that China's third aircraft carrier may use steam ejection way.
According to public information, China's third aircraft carrier project and electromagnetic catapult project project time roughly the same. For weapons such as aircraft carrier, the maturity of its subsystems must be much greater than the overall design of the time, in order to carry out the overall equipment, especially the key equipment, otherwise completely unable to carry out the overall design, and even comprehensive project feasibility can not be carried out.
One has been engaged in naval equipment research and development work sources said that China's second domestic aircraft carrier is not equipped with the possibility of electromagnetic catapult. If the second domestic aircraft carrier to use electromagnetic catapult, then it means that the overall design of the aircraft carrier from scratch, researchers five or six years of effort will completely overthrow, but also means that China had for the second aircraft carrier The investment in research funds will be completely void, which is obviously unrealistic.
According to Hong Kong, "South China Morning Post" reported on February 13, China's third aircraft carrier will use conventional steam ejection take-off, will be equipped with at least three steam catapult, rather than more advanced electromagnetic catapult. US think tank Jamesston Foundation also wrote that China 002 aircraft carrier will soon be available, it will be the use of steam ejection aircraft carrier.
Not long ago online photos also confirmed the Chinese and foreign media reports. The picture shows the Wuhan-based land-based aircraft carrier model is being rebuilt. This shows that China's next aircraft carrier 002 will be with the second aircraft carrier 001A type, there is a substantial improvement. The most notable is the front of the deck to take off the springboard, which has been demolished on the model, which makes it easier to estimate the installation of the catapult for China's third aircraft carrier.
More than three is the formation of primary combat capability based on protection
In recent years, the Chinese navy has developed rapidly. According to statistics, as of 2016, the total number of Chinese naval vessels more than 300, and more than half are after 2000, new ships, especially as the carrier carrier core ships destroyers and frigates, more than Bacheng are new construction after 2010 The
But if the aircraft carrier in accordance with the current service period of 50 years, then at least the end of this century, the beginning of the next century, the aircraft carrier is still the world's dominance of the sea, is still the national navy, especially the great power of the Navy.
"The future of the Chinese Navy has more than three aircraft carrier is the basis for the formation of primary combat capability to protect a combat, a training, a maintenance, so that once something can guarantee that at least one aircraft carrier can appear in the area, In the major strategic direction of the sea to play a prominent effect. "Li Jie told the Science and Technology Daily reporter.
"In order to safeguard the country 's security and interests, we need to deploy two aircraft carrier battle groups in the important Pacific Ocean, the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean, and we need to deploy five to six aircraft carriers in the future," said Chinese military expert Yin Zhuo.
Li Jie said that China not only in Qingdao, Shandong, there are aircraft carrier port and berth, but also in southern China's Hainan Province, there are aircraft carrier port and berth.
Expert analysis, the main force of modern warfare is the missile and aviation combat power, so China needs to be as far away as possible from the local deployment of combat power, expand combat space. At present, the intended location of the aircraft carrier battle group activities include the United States Navy and so on through the Chinese security is essential to the Pacific Ocean, as well as islands and rock reefs increasing sovereign tension in the South China Sea and as the main maritime logistics routes in the Indian Ocean The
Last year in late December to January this year, Liaoning ship through the first island chain on the Miyagi Strait, for the first time into the Pacific Ocean, held in the South China Sea overseas training. Li Jie said that in the future, the domestic aircraft carrier deployment may be more to the South China Sea as the center to carry out activities.

China will build six aircraft carriers in the future, 002 comparable to the US aircraft carrier

China will build six aircraft carriers in the future, 002 comparable to the US aircraft carrier

China's new aircraft carrier, known as the 001A aircraft carrier, is nearing completion in Dalian's shipyard. With the growing tensions between China and the United States, the ship will become one of the largest Chinese warships deterrent.
It is believed that the aircraft carrier will be named "Shandong", or deployed in the South China Sea region. This is China's first "domestic" aircraft carrier. The outside world believes that China is planning to build up to six aircraft carriers to ensure its overall advantages in the Pacific and Indian Ocean.
Reported that "Shandong" aircraft carrier will become one of the world's largest warship - but this is only the tip of the Chinese iceberg. The aircraft carrier marks the beginning of a huge military plan in Beijing. "Its design, combat capability and technology will be more advanced," said a Chinese military analyst.
Reported that the 001A aircraft carrier project is a national secret. 2015 satellite images show that the aircraft carrier is under construction, but not many people understand. The highly confidential 002 project is already in progress - it is believed that the aircraft carrier will be much larger and comparable to the US Navy's ready-to-fight aircraft carrier.
Reported that China currently has only one aircraft carrier, the original name is "Varyag" number. Last year, renamed the "Liaoning" aircraft carrier into the South China Sea, to show the United States military. Reported that the aircraft carrier is actually Putin's favorite warships, the Russian "Kuznetsov Navy Marshal" aircraft carrier's sister ship.
But the US Navy still represents the world's most powerful maritime power - it has 10 nuclear-powered large aircraft carrier. "In order to protect China 's territory and overseas interests, China needs to deploy two aircraft carrier battle groups in the Western Pacific and two in the Indian Ocean, so we need at least five to six aircraft carriers," the Chinese media said.
Reported that the expected 001A aircraft carrier will be launched in the first half of this year - but it is expected to 2019 years in the military in full service.
