First ever post.
I'm shocked by the speed.
How can you paint such a large ship so quickly? How many layers of paint do military ships typicall have (I suppose there should be multiple layers)? How could the paint get dry so quickly? Anybody knows how painting on ships work?

Welcome to SDF

There could be a gap in the photos

No matter there's a gap or not, the speed of building really suggests this could be lunched before Oct 1st and I think that exceeds a lot of people's expectation (including me).

i'm stunned by the speed of this build. the staging of these photo releases. my gosh how long have they been waiting to post haha

I think we are witnessing probably the most rapid navy building and modernization program in decades. Today's Chinese navy is almost build from nothing in 20 years, that's incredibly short for navy build up. 20 years ago none of the modern Chinese ships existed, no 052C, 052D, 054, 054A, 055, 056, 071, 075, CV16, CV17, CV18, etc etc.

And out of these, most appeared in the last 10 years alone.

This process has only been getting faster, and bigger. Imagine the next 10 years, 20 years, what a sight that would be.

I don’t think even the expansion of the Soviet Navy under Gorshkov happened as quickly. The only comparable build up I can think of in modern times is the creation of the German High Seas Fleet after 1898.

I would say 10-15 years not 20

Nothing really happened from 1999-2004

It’s after that time China upped the tempo

And last 5 years have been unbelievable

I followed it all

And following the few images showing the bow of the Type 075 LHD including its just recently installed Type 382 radar, here is a view from behind showing that there is also another - at least to me - unknown radar installed.
