BEIJING: China is expected to build a third aircraft carrier, official media said today even as the country constructs its second one at a rapid pace and its first carrier conducted live firing exercises in the disputed South China Sea.
"China may have third aircraft carrier battle groups," state-run People's Daily Online reported quoting military expert Liang Fang.
"At present, China's second aircraft carrier is under construction. In the near future, the Chinese navy ..
>China has made it's most technologically advanced carrier ever >actually capable of floating on its own >has enough food for the equivalent of 5 U.S. Marines >somehow manages to defy physics and use a pontoon structure to compete with single structure Enterprise and Gerald R. Ford Pottery
Anthony Mitchell
I thought they technically had 2 but one was so shit they never deployed it so it's a "muh gommunism :DDDD" meme
Jace Turner
The biggest obstacle for them is that they will have to learn to manage carrier task forces from the start, no one will show them. And they plan 4-6 task forces, to parry the US.
All of this will take another 20 years.
Anthony Watson
If just one of those structures gets hit at the water line they're fucked.
Mason Sanchez
third aircraft carrier
Jaxon Robinson
Apparently chinks have outsmarted the sharts and their silly "square cube law"
Elijah Stewart
jesus fuck that is the stupidest fucking thing I've ever seen
Josiah Ross
Concept arts? Shitty low rez one at that.
Can't they do something right?
David Hill
is it made out of plastic?
Joseph Murphy
Chinese 440 A Stainless Steel through and through, what could go wrong
Alexander Parker
South Korean Navy Air craft carrier as planned. South Korea is thinking of this seriously
Jose Wood
Duh. Way more advanced than shitty american steel carriers. Everyone knows steel sinks and plastic floats
Dylan Russell
looks like something off red alert
Zachary Garcia
bet it will still have a ramp
Kevin Harris
The machine shop i worked for try to use that to cut costs on a job we had. Long story short, the piece broke within 8 hours of being in service.
Cooper Howard
literally get some cardboard, twice as thick and it'll last 4 times as long
Asher Wood
3rd and 4th is just experiment 5th and 6th Chinese Aircraftcarrier will be like US supercarrier
Oliver Edwards
oh only 5 times to get it right. fucking hinkies
Grayson Brooks
I am no expert at making ships but even I know this design is more prone to sinking from torpedoes.
Daniel Green
>China is expected to build a third aircraft carrier That's just the two they already have taped together.
Justin Diaz
Kek, I'll keep that in mind.
Nathan Morgan
numba 1
Ayden Johnson
Looks retarded but tbqh carriers dont need to be fancy they are just floating runways
Samuel Edwards
>2016 + 7 >still using surface based vessels
huh
cute
Ethan Reed
imagine 30+ foot waves on those dinky little helipads close to the bottom
Bentley Peterson
Also what took them so long? Here our third Aircraft carrier in design phase. Looks like time to plan a 4th one boys.
Joseph Morris
>>has enough food for the equivalent of 5 U.S. Marines That's not something to be proud of
Brayden Hall
The weak spot is the small pontoon in the middle, concentrate your fire there for massive damage
Anthony Richardson
If you can make it, we will buy.
Gabriel Torres
that's cute chinks, maybe we'll give your a participation award
Christopher Fisher
China isnt projectig force anywhere except around china
Ryder Garcia
50,000 chinese peoples' rations is bretty neat or just make a wave taller than 8 feet
Jayden Hernandez
Heh, I have same car. Made in South Korea btw
Kevin Ross
...
Hudson Adams
>120mm cannon in the middle Why?
Grayson Perry
>carriers
what's the point
just use land launched ASMs and submarines you retarded chinks
Angel Barnes
>open your eyes
he can't
he's asian
Hunter Lee
The real weak point is the thin segment of deck that links the two halves together.
Eli Allen
>If you can make it, we will buy.
how many do you want?
Anthony Reyes
i want to torpedo that nigger
Joshua Price
also
>that design
William Lee
really shitty point defense. No overlapping fields of fire and a lot of blind spots for missiles.
Charles Rodriguez
Keked
Ryder Peterson
>Floating shitting street
Chase Ross
A catamaran aircraft carrier? WTF?
Tyler Torres
How many can you make? And don't put the toilet witches in them.
And you helping us make it since its nuclear powered.
Carson Wright
info?
Dominic Jackson
>tissue paper to wash butthole >no bidet
Jack Hill
>missile launcher next to the runway >backblast of the missile knocks the parked planes off the side of the ship
I hope they build this, it will provide countless hours of entertainment
Juan Carter
But...why? Surely someone noticed the uselessness of that gun.
Kayden Torres
power projection. the chinks are starting to have lots of coin invested overseas. in africa, the middle east etc. no can do in defending dat sheeit unless you can ship your planes n sheeit over.
Tyler Davis
Looks like the HMS Queen Elizabeth. Pretty sweet. Good job India. Now focus on reducing rape. That shit is embarrassing.
Noah Ward
because guns look cool?
Isaac Lopez
It's a remotely controlled by the Chinese Communist Party and can rotate 180 degrees to aim at the bridge. ensures harmonious decision making
Austin Bennett
Fuck me it's real life Warship Gunner.
I am so OK with this.
Carter Johnson
>the street is even perforated Does that help with the wiping?
Jack Brown
is this now a naval ops thread
Adam Ross
for drainage purpooses
Jack Martin
>Japan isn't even allowed aircraft carriers >has three >China has one from Eastern Europe Why are Chinese so shit at military?
Hunter Smith
IT'S A FUCKING RAMP
Lincoln Rogers
Yes.
Thanks mate.
>That shit is embarrassing. I thought not pooing in loo was embarrassing.
Because Dragons are mythical creatures.
Josiah Diaz
While renderings like those look nice, chances are the prototype will be made of re-purposed trash barges enshrouded with cheap fiberglass molds.
Asher Bennett
defo. indian ocean domination to ensure the spice flows through pakistan, burma and the future thai canal to europe.
Alexander Jenkins
It is now.
>Which nation has the best fleet, and why is it Germany?
Benjamin Taylor
>made in china
Aaron Rodriguez
Whats wrong with a ramp? Didn't you play tony hawk when you were young?
Henry Ramirez
guys, can you please explain me what's the point of aircraft carrier in XXI century?
I think (but I may be wrong) that China doesn't need carrier because with satellite imaging, drones and long range missiles all those clumsy ships can be obliterated in first few hours of war. They are only useful in asymmetric warfare like when you need mobile airstrip to bomb shit out of sandniggers in Libya.
Chase Green
It's just dickwaving. All great powers do it.
Benjamin Stewart
>Believing Chinese accomplishments They are a paper dragon mate. They are projecting to US that they have big guns, they don't go to war with anyone because it will expose how shitty their Armed forces actually are and will leave them vulnerable.
Caleb Morales
It's a radical design, I'm surprsied no one has thought of it before, it allows the ability of doubling the number of runways for landing and is a more efficient use of space for ship based self defence weapons.
China does not have the technological ability, nor the military might to complete these projects.
Landon Cruz
it's two battleships stuck together by a big carpark on top of them
Nathan Parker
It allows them to project power. In the mid 90's the Chinese were getting uppity in regards to the status of Taiwan as an independent country and were deploying troops, aircraft and their inadequate Navy in positions where they could launch an attack across ths Taiwan Strait. So what does the US do?? It sends an aircraft carrier task force to sail right down the middle of thd Taiwan Strait to demonstrate that any invasion across the sea would bel met by the US Navy....the Chinese quickly backed down.
Jayden Green
They're also corrupt as hell. They steal from projects and shit all the time.
Leo Bell
Is there a single reason to believe the Chinese military isn't a massive paper tiger?
Julian Rogers
>shanghaiist.com This totaly looks like a legit news source.
Adam Brooks
It's not a battleship ffs, the issue with aircraft carrier design has always been how you design a structure that allows aircraft to take off and land without interrupting each other. The US Navy solved the problem by creating the angled flight deck allowing aircraft to land on a runway angled away from the deck.
Tyler Anderson
It's vapourware but is cool looking.
Caleb Ortiz
NONE. Their entire military history is a joke. They are so corrupt it literally effects their military prowess.
The US funded the KMT against the CPC after WWII and they fucking lost because of corruption.
Colton Sanchez
Good point, although if it was so advatageous you would think that the US or some other military would have caught on to it by now and used the design. There must be some benefit-tradeoff involved in the design
Julian Nguyen
Blockading china is easy as fuck, it does not have an open sea route to outside world.
Their major resources come and go from the countries which are hostile towards them. There are two lines that china works on. First it will try to push everyone out of south china, and the sea of japan because that's the immediate threat.
later it will try to push everyone out of Pacific.
Their corruption knows no bounds. If the USA was a little more careful with their state secrets the Chinese would have never got their hands on top tier technology.
even if they get their hands on the tech, they do not have the resources, and the technology to produce the high tech equipment.
