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

[manqiangrexue]

They modified a Soviet-era engine, so "better" is a relative term. Suppose you ponder which is more efficient, the modified Soviet engines on the CS Liaoning, or new Chinese made engines on the CS Shandong? My guess is the latter.

And then, after his glaring misstep, Stony will try to "patch things up" with a completely irrelevant however reasonable and agreeable statement. China's new carrier will be more advanced than its old carrier, you say?! Marvelous! Brilliant observation! I concur! So do we all! Were we talking about that? No. You tried to say that China's carrier had inferior engines to the original Soviet Kuznetsov design, which could already range 12,000 nmiles, and thus, it would reduce its range to below that. But I guess saying something obviously agreeable afterwards will save your "reputation," right?

Stony: "Hey guys, 10 and 100 are the same value."
Rational people: "Uh, hell no. 100 is 10 times more than 10; what's wrong with you?"
Stony: "Now zero has no value and if you add zero to a number, what do you ponder it is? Still the same? Yeah, cool, thought so."

Steam propulsion plant is inherently not very efficient because of its low maximum process temperature but GT plant isn't either because of the inefficiency of the high compression ratio compressor unless it uses heat exchangers as in Type 45 ( but that has its own disadvantages ). That a GT plant with low compression ratio and efficient heat exchanger would be very efficient, as efficient as diesel engines, was recognized a century ago and half a century ago there were projects to develop such GT aircraft and even car engines.

No dount that the Chinese, since they had a blank pad to work with, used the plan for the Liaoning to make it better in every way possible, according to the time table they are working to in order to get a second carrier to sea.

My guess it oes have a better engine.

Ukraine builds good engines...but this was an old Soviet era design, and the Chinese today can build something better than what was built and installed almost 30 years ago.

No doubt the timeline will be a tight one.

Indeed and I'm not only impatient - as usual - but surprised that so few recent images are available ?

Official media just recently yabbering about information security again, so understandably those who have pics don't post them at this time to avoid unwanted attention.

Apr 23 is going to be a tight schedule to meet, IMHO, given the current condition of the ship.

But we shall see.

Once more, the MSM mindlessly pick what's circulate on the web and call it "news". It all began when the 'net speculate that the CV-17 launch will be the star event of this year's PLAN Navy Day, which is April 23 each year.
