CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread
- Thread starter Jeff Head
- Start date
Since the aerial photo from december 4, it seems that not much has changed there. They still haven´t united the previous modules from months ago. in fact, probably no module has really been welded with others, notice the small gaps betwen all of them.
What i find interesting is that piece of the hull at the far left of the shipyard. Seems to be the bottom part of the stern (the gaps for the ship axles and the fin of the stern). But it appears that there is still a lot of hull modules to be installed there before getting to the stern part. However, there is stuff in the storage area that has been there for months (including what appears to be the bottom of the bow segment). I dunno if thats a normal thing in building a carrier.
So it is confirmed that China is building CV-18 and CV-19 very much together ... amazing
I only see one carrier being built.
be more careful , in that picture only one seen being built.So it is confirmed that China is building CV-18 and CV-19 very much together ... amazing

Could all of these new modules be the same size as the mock up we saw see ages and ages ago?
The one with the EMALS trench?

The module has only half as many decks as the later aircraft carrier. No, it's much smaller.
Can you link the site?Screen captures of a list of carrier equipment purchases and tenders from the Chinese military procurement website. Disclaimer: I have not been able to locate the list myself (too many pages of items and the search function is horrendous), but the Weibo user who posted this has been very reliable. I don't have the time to translate the entire list, so I'll give a brief summary. Many of the items are for firefighting. Others are for flight deck snow-clearing, electrical generation, hangar lighting, airplane tugs, fueling, flight deck sprinklers, and even a retractable flagpole.

would like to see some of the moduels being transported by barge within the next few weeks
and hopefully start to see this carrier come together in 2020
80,000+ tons with EMALS
also we need to see batch 3 of J15 and FC-35 V3 this year too along with maiden flight of the KJ-600
many naval developments are needed not just launching ship after ship
