Around 8 a.m. on May 1st, China's third aircraft carrier, the Fujian, set sail from the dock of the Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai, heading to relevant waters to conduct its first sailing trial. The first sailing trial of the Chinese aircraft carrier Fujian marks a new milestone in China's aircraft carrier program. As a high-end and sophisticated weapon system, the construction level of the Fujian has reached the ceiling of conventional powered aircraft carriers in the world. It is not only comparable in appearance to the most advanced carriers today but also equipped with electromagnetic catapults and arresting gear, showcasing China's strong capabilities in aircraft carrier design and construction.
Is this true? Dear audience! Welcome back to the channel from China! I am delighted to engage with the audience again and discuss today's topics: 1. How does the successful sea trial of the Fujian affect the future development path of China's aircraft carrier program? 2. What does the debut of new carrier-based aircraft on the Fujian signify for the strength of the Chinese Navy? 3. Does the successful first sea trial of the Fujian signify that China is moving towards the status of a naval power?
China's aircraft carriers have achieved the goal of being recognized as the "peak of conventional aircraft carriers in the world." According to relevant experts, observing the shape of the Fujian, it is comparable to the most advanced aircraft carriers globally, and its construction level undoubtedly reaches the highest standards of current conventional powered aircraft carriers. As the Fujian left the port, the drifting light smoke demonstrated the adequacy and success of the previous mooring trials. For sophisticated and complex weapons systems like the "Fujian," merely "proceeding with construction and testing step by step" is already an admirable achievement.
According to the latest news, the construction of the Fujian has been steadily progressing as planned. Since its launch in June 2022, it has completed mooring trials and equipment debugging, and now meets all technical requirements for sea trials. The main goal of the sea trials is to test and verify the performance of the carrier's power and electrical systems to ensure their reliability and stability. The Fujian of the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN), designated Type 003 Aircraft Carriers, with hull number 18, is China's first domestically developed aircraft carrier equipped with catapult technology. It is equipped with electromagnetic catapults and arresting gear and has a flat flight deck. The displacement of this carrier exceeds 80,000 tons. The sea trial of the Fujian will mark a significant advancement in China's aircraft carrier technology, showcasing the country's independent innovation capabilities in naval construction.
On June 17, 2022, the Jiangnan Shipyard, a subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation, grandly held the naming and launching ceremony of China's third aircraft carrier. At the climax of the ceremony, at 11 a.m. that day, accompanied by the majestic melody of the national anthem of the People's Republic of China echoing in the air, the Five-Star Red Flag slowly rose,
