CV-17 Shandong (002 carrier) Thread I ...News, Views and operations

It is the shape of the hull. Same hull shape as Laoning. The bulb is not large enough to draw the bow wave down and break it up.

Sorry for accusing you for trolling dude

So why didn’t China address this bow bulb issue ? More importantly why not improved on CV-17?

A recon aircraft can pick this off miles away

In WWII Mid way was result of a Japanese vessel trailing behind the carrier formation first spotted by trail, then the destroyer which lead them to the 4 carriers

I think today radar from recon aircraft will pick up an aircraft carrier from dozens or possibly even hundreds of miles away regardless of a ships wake.

All ships, no matter the size, put out a wake. Particularly a ship the size of an aircraft carrier.

Note Gerald R Ford starboard side wake. She has a bulbous bow sonar dome ...

The whole point of a bow bulb, besides sonar, is to break up the bow wave, which causes the most resistance of all the hull waves. The bow bulb must be large and long enough to pull down the bow water and break up the wave, regardless of how the ship is loaded.

I didn't want to go off topic but CV-17 Shandong's bow wave has to be explained. It is a great vessel and with each new carrier, especially Chinese designed hulls, we can expect vast improvement in the hull shape.

The hull of Type 002 was redesigned. The new ship line is the one that stood out from other 29 designs and passed the ship model testing.
