"China has the capability to build aircraft carriers and should do so"

This must mean that they have managed to steal the designs for one of ours.

"China must build an aircraft carrier "soon" if it wants to be taken seriously as a global superpower"

In other news... The Obama Administration has announced massive cutbacks in military readiness, including decommissioning all our aircraft carriers.

Well, we certainly don't want someone to take us seriously as a global superpower, do we?

They either reverse engineered the Kiev enough to know how to duplicate it and announcing building one during the celebration next month, or they are putting the Varyag to sea for the celebration and calling it their own.

The last time an Asian power built a large Naval Air Craft Carrier fleet it didn’t work out so well.

SONOBUOY PING!

Click on pic for past Navair pings.

Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.

China feeling frisky and possibly ready to actually try to project some power somewhere. What’s the status on those diesel subs to Tawain, completely fallen apart?
