China is believed to be building two 50,000-60,000-ton aircraft carriers at Changxingdao Shipyard

It must be true when they say the military is fighting the next war with obsolete weapons. Aircraft carriers is one big fat target for cheap missiles.

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.

The country is expected to get a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier by 2020.

Instead of a car and people.....

.....we get to see a "Chinese Fire Drill" with an aircraft carrier and planes.

This shows that China "is determined to become a maritime power," the report said

They had their change in the 15th century with Chengo-Ho; and they pissed it away. They wont get it back.

Chinese naval tech vs Spanish naval tech at the time.
