Mmm, really big hulls. AOR maybe? Or fleet oilers?
CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread
- Thread starter Jeff Head
- Start date
This shipyard isn't contracted to build AOEs and AORs, These are done by a shipyard down to the south of China in Guangdong.
Jiangnan is contracted in building Yuan Wang space tracker ships. I am wondering if they are building another Yuan Wang, even if they finished one recently.

I still didnt get the joke is that photo from a warship in Japan? China did not build anything like that in 1940s

So it's saying if this was the 1940's the warship may have been completed into such a design given the philosophies at the time. The design also has 2 grids of 64 VLS each (as well as SAMs and CIWs), which are not 1940's stuff but the philosophy was to pack as much weaponry as possible. Light joke not meant to be nitpicked.

If PLAN has something like the US SLRC(strat long range cannon) in the works.... I wouldn't rule out the long shot possibility sometime in the future.Oh well.. so it is not an aircraft carrier, but a 320m long battle cruiser!
Oh well, if wishes were horses...
