The 054A/B series using diesel doesn't seem to be immune to the problem, and a radical solution might be to blacken the top masts.

CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread

They just don't clean it up and let it collect for awhile. Look at old pics from US' conventional supercarriers.Still tho, if the entire upper part of the island gets a coat of bunker oil soot every time she sails it is probably incredibly annoying to her sailers who have to clean her up. I wonder if switching to marine diesel like USN did would alleviate this. The 956 and 956EMs already switched to burning diesel iirc.
So US ships need to be painted in rust color ?The 054A/B series using diesel doesn't seem to be immune to the problem, and a radical solution might be to blacken the top masts.
I think rust is much worse, something that we don't see a lot on Chinese fleet. People are searching problems where there's none.
