How are you STILL worked up about this??The captions say: "Carrier Fujian is the world's largest conventionally powered (常规动力) aircraft carrier."
Would you care to explain why you still think Fujian is nuclear powered?

Is this the first evidence that Fujian is larger than Kitty Hawk?The captions say: "Carrier Fujian is the world's largest conventionally powered (常规动力) aircraft carrier."
Would you care to explain why you still think Fujian is nuclear powered?
Well, I think sometimes it is indeed justified and even necessary to remember some fan-boys you of the rubbish they spread with a puffed-out chest and in a highly emotional confidence - often with "Brother, I know it", "I swear" - in order to "bring them into their right mind" a little.
And the fan in question regularly claimed until the very end - when the chimney was already clearly visible - that the Fujian would be nuclear and would officially be put into service by September 2023.
Interestingly, we haven't heard anything from him since the launch and especially since the first trial ...
And in a similar way, I'm already looking forward to the reminder of this when there are no J-31s in service with the Pakistani Air Force by 2026.

The guy was last online in February 2023, so it's probably no longer worth banging on about it to him.

To my knowledge zero though I presumed they have tested similar loads on the land based one.
It would be a significant milestone for sure when they do shoot and trap off her.
Hopefully by year end!
Adding on: Fujian is highly likely to be conducting horizontal replenishment tests with the 901 AOE across the pier. Such tests have been done with Liaoning and Shandong before. Information and the photo below provided by on Twitter.

Self-explanatory.
Btw, what are the vertical pipes beneath the fantail and extending into the water? I see those on other carriers too. Are they parts of some cooling system?
Nope..If like USN carriers those are just bumpers so tugs can safely maneuver the ship when entering and leaving port.
