where
is
the
fucking
smokestack？
Im going to demand an apology soon.

ok i will stop commenting nuclear power stuff as it is not welcomed.

Is that graphite on the main mast? Graphite is only found in the reactor core as a neutron flux moderator, right? And look at all that smoke, all that radiation. Only 3.6 roentgen per hour, I'm told. Not great, but not terrible.

P.S. By the way, where is your apology?

Today marks the two year anniversary of the launching of carrier Fujian. Some nice older images to celebrate the occasion.

I'm paraphrasing here, the captions say something along the lines of "Carrier Fujian has shattered the myth that electromagnetic catapults can only be installed on nuclear carriers"

Can electromagnetic catapults be installed on non-aircraft carriers?

With the right engineering electromagnetic catapaults are suitable for a much bigger range of applications compared to steam catapaults.

Range of applications? What other applications for a catapult than launching a plane?

I don't know what wrote this but I must state a question. How many catapult launches with aircraft has Fujian made? I know they tested the catapults.
