CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread

[asif iqbal]

quite unbelievable that China has managed to use catapults

no easy task there

indeed 003 will be a historical moment in Chinas Carrier journey

cant wait to see it buzzing with mixed wing AWACS, 5th generation fighters and drones

How reliable is your info? and where you got it from? I read somewhere it is in July sometime. Hope you are right!!

from someone live in ChangXing island. said that the launching ceremony will begin at 6.16 or 6.17 surely.

where
is
the
fucking
smokestack？
Im going to demand an apology soon.

And once we see the smokestack?

Will this impatience and flawed logic be reconsidered and recognized that at this late stage of the carrier's cumulative combination of rumours, photos of construction, and common sense, that nuclear power should not be entertained?


===

You know, seeing as we're this late into the game -- should we make a thread, where everyone at this point in time who still thinks this carrier will be nuclear powered can put forward their name publicly so we can stop mucking around, and so that we can all learn something from this particular occasion?

@li450274625, any comments? Do we not deserve an apology?

Radar is already installed ??!!

 

[KingOfNorth]

Oh no! It's tilted. (Just Kidding~)

 

[Blitzo]

Radar is already installed ??!!

No.

When a ship is launched, they do not have radars installed. They are just metal panels covering the radar array opening.

Radars are only installed during fitting out, after launch.

How 003 could look like during tomorrow's launching ceremony:
