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

Wow. I didn't realize we need a label to indicate the pennant number. They might as well label the ropes, tugs and the pier itself.

Just like we didn't realize that you need a label to tell you that a ship is berthing on a pier. Maybe we should put a label that says a car is parking on the side of a street.

There was an image showing satellite photos of CV-17 at different stage of construction with timestamp. Anyone got a link to it?

This one?

I'd provide some but I'm pretty sure I'd get tackled by security walking out of the building.

that looks like a processed photo, the superstructure has some funky perspective distortions.

A nice magazine scan from the latest issue of Modern Ships.

Recent documentary on the history of China's naval ship designs including Typer 51, Type 52, Type 54 and CV-002. Some interesting facts include time between start of construction to commission was 6 years. The ski ramp angle was less than that of Liaoning to decrease the impact the plane have on the ship, this was was debated previously in this thread. Best use before date for nuclear weapon was 30 years, and 25 years for missles.

Wonder if you could elaborate at little bit more on the part that i have highlighted. Thank you in advance.

It would have less air resistance, esp. when steaming against the wind, & may effect other things too.

We have no evicence, that the ski ramp angles of Kuznetsov, Liaoning and Shandong are not the same. Just constant repetitions due to an assertion. We know the details of different ship lengths, which are definitely wrong.
