CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread
- Thread starter Jeff Head
- Start date
If Indeed two would be built at same time at two different shipyards, that would be quite a departure from salami slicing tactics. And it may create enough furor in the US that neither of those two carrier gets completed and put in service in time to matter, with some sort of conflict already happening before then.
I was referring to the type 002, not the so called "project 002"
I don't think that salami slicing means how you used it in that sentence...
Could you please add a summary?
Did you understand what the point of my post was?
I can attempt a rough translation of fzgfzy's post:
"I used WeChat to reply once already, but I don't know why it didn't post. The right side of the module in the second picture looks like carrier core anti-torpedo/mine compartment. The image is blurry, I am uncertain if it is a demo-module. If the anti-torpedo/mine compartment is real, then the carrier module progression is truly impressive. (The powerplant module is most likely done.)"
That you think if China "surges" construction of carriers it might spook the US and make the US more willing to start a war earlier before China's new carriers emerge into a viable and mature capability?
But you wrote salami slicing as if it was referring to a steady build up of new capabilities ility over an extended period of time Vs "surging" new capabilities, yes? That is not how the phrase has been used i think... I.e. "salami slicing" hasn't been used to describe Chinese development of new capabilities...

Could this be similar to the test piece that was constructed prior to the CV-17 that had the trough for the catapult?
As in, a test configuration for what the new beam of the ship may be?
