CV-16, CV-17 STOBAR carrier thread (001/Liaoning, 002/Shandong)

[snake65]

Interesting thread on J15 sortie rates. Seems CV16 can do 37 per day and CV17 47 per day sustained for about a week.

That's based on 24 fighter wing?

I would take those numbers with a huge chunk of salt though.

That 110 number would include helicopters though?

First we'd have to decide how max sortie rate should be measured. Highest day to day operation or highest in theory?

Hi,
how many more years Liaoning can keep on going with the new inductions,
and during these 12 years it’s already been upgraded or there is certain number
of years before they upgrade and refit all of it again
thank you

It already completed MLU near the start of this year.

Importantly another mockup also started to appear on carrier Liaoning

. The first PLAN aircraft carrier, commissioned in 2012, was then just completing her midlife refit (MLU) and has since completed a first post-MLU sea trial.

Those are all quite good sortie numbers, per 24 planes. USN would struggle to do better over a similar time period. Sure, there were USN exercises in the past where 2 per day were hit, one instance where 4 per day was hit, but that was a specific outlier. USN averages are very much in this shown bracket.
