Those plane markings are just one black triangle away from being radioactive.
It’s in the Pacific, it is radio active! Is the pacific roughly a 3rd of the worlds waters? Been bugging me....
Built by China itself! So impressive! Uh, Japan has been building them for near a century. Attacked the USA back in the early 1940s with them (not just a single one, but lots built by Japan itself). And uh, quite a few other countries have built their own. Impressive Chinese feats, not!
And how many F-35’s USS Gerald R. Ford CVN-78 can carry? How many simultaneous take off and landing (recover) USS Gerald R. Ford CVN-78 can handle at normal (not tilting in heavy seas)?
A quick google says 75+ airplanes.
Look they built a toy carrier. How cute!
Of course, if the navy ever came up with a true air superiority fighter like the F-22, maybe things would be different. F-35 was never intended to go against the likes of the J-15.
machines are machines and there examples of inferior machines defeating superior machines. pilots and training make the difference. i trust our pilots. wars will be fought elsewhere in the future.
We could recommission either the U.S.S. Lexington or U.S.S. Midway and they would both carry more fighter than this so called new (yet old designed) ReRussian Carrier, just stating facts.
Welcome to the self licking ice cream cone club fellas you are 50 years late why don’t build some battleships why you at it.

One. The Bush has four catapults but they only launch one plane at a time. One launch every few seconds. Likewise they land only one plane at a time. They don't conduct landings while they are launching and vice-versa.

Well if anyone knows how to fit a bunch of stuff on a boat, it’s the chinese.
I didn’t ask Nimitz class, I was asking the newest Ford class, hello?
