The news of the aircraft carrier's launch
It was quickly exposed online.
According to photos taken by nearby residents
The size of this aircraft carrier even surpasses that of all currently serving aircraft carriers in the world.
[China's first aircraft carrier revealed; US media: It's bigger than expected!]
Is China's dream of becoming a great power about to come true? According to sources, China's first aircraft carrier was successfully launched this morning!
[China's aircraft carrier has been successfully launched, but the deck is completely empty. Is this a smokescreen, or has a breakthrough been achieved?]
Suddenly, major media outlets around the world, as well as news spokespeople from various countries,
All the news is about the aircraft carrier "Mantis Shrimp".
In response, the U.S. Department of Defense held a special press conference.
Zheng expressed his opinion on the timing of China's aircraft carrier launch.
"Ms. Karina, this station has just received news that the Chinese aircraft carrier has completed its sea trials."
Does this pose a significant threat to the US?
The reporter stood up to ask a question.
Ms. Karina smiled slightly.
"First, there is currently no official conclusion regarding this news. Judging from the images released by various countries..."
It is highly likely that China has already completed the construction of its first aircraft carrier.
Secondly, let's not forget that our aircraft carrier USS Langley was successfully commissioned in 1922.
More than 70 years have passed. Do you think it poses a threat to us?
According to the latest news released by the Institute for National Defense Strategy, estimates are made based on the image size.
The deck area of this Chinese aircraft carrier even exceeds that of our Ford-class aircraft carrier.
Is it possible that the other party has already overtaken us on the curve?
After photos of the aircraft carrier being launched were leaked...
Research institutions around the world have conducted simulation analyses based on the reference objects in the images.
Ultimately, it was concluded that the deck area of the Chinese aircraft carrier "Mantis Shrimp" would reach over 28,000 square meters.
It already has the largest flight deck area among all currently serving aircraft carriers in the world.
"So what did you see on the deck? The carrier-based aircraft? The relevant air defense systems?"
Big size doesn't necessarily mean strong ability. If you don't have the relevant professional knowledge...
Please don't ask such ignorant questions!
Karina showed absolutely no respect for the reporters.
The reporter could only blush and lower his head to take notes.
"The US will closely monitor the launch of China's aircraft carrier."
However, we hope that all TV stations will refrain from making unfounded speculations. Based on the information we have so far...
This aircraft carrier has no combat capability whatsoever; I prefer to call it...
"The world's largest fishing boat!"
Upon hearing Karina's spokesperson's summary,
The reporters at the scene all burst out laughing.
An aircraft carrier without carrier-based aircraft and related weapon systems is indeed just a joke.
......
At this moment, inside the conference center of Shipyard 3028,
Su Lin, Commander Yuan, General Manager Huang, and relevant technical personnel are currently holding a debriefing meeting to review the successful launch of the aircraft carrier.
"Everyone, thank you for your hard work these past few days. The successful launch of our aircraft carrier is inseparable from your contributions!"
Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
"However, the tasks ahead are still very demanding: weapon systems, carrier-based aircraft, and our full-load nuclear power tests."
Everything is still on the agenda, so please don't get discouraged, keep going!
"Commander Yuan, we've already built the aircraft carrier, so why are we afraid of these future difficulties?"
"If we can use the J-20 as our carrier-based aircraft, then our aircraft carrier's combat power will be no less than that of the US Ford-class!"
"When will we be able to sail our own aircraft carrier to the Pacific Ocean and enjoy the sea breeze?"
The engineers on site could not contain their joy.
"Mr. Huang, has the plan for tomorrow's full-load test been finalized?"
"Report, Principal Su, this is the experimental route. You and Commander Yuan can refer to it first."
General Manager Huang projected the aircraft carrier's sailing route for tomorrow onto the large screen.
According to the markings on the map, the aircraft carrier "Mantis Shrimp" will depart from the port of Shipyard 3028.
Heading to the vicinity of the Pacific Ocean,
Conduct acceleration flight tests.
Maximum speed test
Mobility test,
There are also various data analysis experiments for nuclear reactors.
"Isn't this the patrol area of the USS Ivory Coast aircraft carrier? Principal Su, are we really going there shirtless?"
"Isn't that too dangerous?"
To ensure the accuracy of the maximum speed test data, the "Mantis Shrimp" aircraft carrier will sail at full speed for 2 hours.
The East China Sea cannot meet the needs of the voyage.
It will inevitably enter the Pacific Ocean.
"With an outdated aircraft carrier like the USS Avery and outdated F-14 fighter jets, what kind of threat do you think it can pose?"
I have contacted Commander Wang of the Southern Military Region, and eight J-20 fighter jets will provide escort.
"We want to show the Americans what a new generation of aircraft carriers really is!"
"Commander Yuan, the Pacific Ocean isn't America's backyard. We're just conducting normal military exercises. What's there to be afraid of?"
"I also support Principal Su's suggestion. Isn't the point of building this to show the Americans what we're made of?"
"Let's send a few more frigates to escort it, and see what those Americans can do then."
Seeing everyone's excitement about the speed test, Commander Yuan couldn't care less about anything else.
"Alright! We'll proceed with Principal Su's plan and head to the Pacific Ocean for the high-speed test. I'll have the Eastern Military Region issue a notice about the exercise tonight."
Meeting adjourned!
Su Lin returned to his room at the guesthouse and dialed Commander Wang's number in the Southern Military Region.
"Principal Su, it's been a long time! I thought you'd forgotten all about your old buddies. I recently heard that the Eastern Military Region's aircraft carrier was successfully launched. Congratulations!"
Compared to Commander Yuan, Commander Tang's relationship with Commander Wang was much better. At least in the development of the J-20 engine, he swindled Old Wang out of over a billion yuan.
"It's just been launched. The air defense system and other systems haven't been installed yet. By the way, has Commander Tang's J-20C series been delivered?"
Just before Su Lin conducted the aircraft carrier's launch test, he received good news from the 031 R&D base: the J-20C series had been successfully developed and delivered to the Southern Military Region for performance testing and its maiden flight.
