Not bad. I wish they would include more details about it; such as its length and displacement.
Thanks to “free trade”, our consumer dollars paid for this for the Chinese Navy, instead of funding ours.
“the Communist Party of China (CPC)”
Will they name it the CPC Clinton?
Ummm...bad enough that the source chose to both use a confusing pic and microprint, but embedding the confusing pic without the caption didn’t help at all...
A Great Power conflict today would make the aircraft carrier obsolete. These are like battleships in WW2; mostly used to shell shore emplacements. Aircraft carriers today are symbols of national pride and power, like gilded armor worn by nobles in the 1600s.
Another step towards China’s goal of having a blue ocean Navy and being able to project power on their side of the Pacific.
Is there any real advantage or benefit to having the ski ramp st the bow? U.S. carriers have used it as far as I know.
It’s steamed powered so if you sink it’s oiler it’s dead in the water....this thing would last about three days in actual combat....we are the only ones who operate carriers at night!!!The night always belongs to us!!!
