- Start date
EMALS on CV18 dead and set. It's officially confirmed.
More than 80k tons.
More than 80k tons.
My ancestral hometown. A subtle message to Taiwan? I think so.
Considering Taiwan should be legally administered as part of Fujian province, yes.
I must say, it was a little bit of reflected pride to see the thread name change.
Much prouder than the time my grandmother said it was shameful that I did not speak my native Fukien-hua, lol
More information disclosed than when Shandong was launched.
Pennant #: 18
Name: Fujian
Type: First catapult, flat deck
Full displacement: 80,000+ tons
Launch system: EMALS
Recovery system: Is it EM too (it appears that it can be interpreted that way from the language used)
Naming 003 as Fujian has some significance if you really want to push it: it's the closest province and across the Strait to Taiwan.
Same here.
