CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread

I really do not understany, why some still believe anything from her.
IMO her reports are so bad - actually l would like to add a level above the superlative for "worst" - and at best are useful as an amusement.

Sometimes I seriously wonder if her "insider source" might be Pinkov. Seriously, it would explain so much.

IMO this post should easily be honoured as "POST OF THE MONTH"!

Folks I think we've given poor Minnie enough of a ribbing already. Let's get back on topic.

Lucas on weibo is continuing to insist that JN's 003 will be nuclear powered it seems... I wonder why he is still at it.

Maybe because former Admiral ZZZ said 003 won't be nuclear, so in Law of ZZZ that meant 003 will be nuclear.

The Chinese aircraft carriers need to be wider and the island smaller

I agree that the island could be smaller. I often wonder why the island is so large. Perhaps functions that are done on the 03 level on a Nimitz class are done in the island aboard CV-16 & 17. Such as ready rooms and CIC, Flag and CO berthing.

But a wider flight deck? Why? It's already 72m or 237 Ft wide. A Nimitz class is 76m or 252ft wide. What advantage do you think the ship would have if it was wider? Thank you for any response.

Do you think the funnel took half of the island space?

Not half but a good portion. Perhaps 30%..maybe a little less.
