Carrier 003, PLANS 18 Fujian, will likely be the best aircraft carrier outside of the U.S. What will 004 and follow-on carriers look like?

How many aircraft carriers will China build, how big will they be, will they be nuclear?

组建战斗部队需要多长时间

一般从服役到IOC要三四年，IOC到FOC还要几年
003今年下水，舾装海试大概还得两三年，估计2024 2025左右交付部队服役，2028 2029左右IOC，2030+FOC

I can feel the pride just by reading all these members coming out declaring to be Fujianese, ancestral Fujianese, semi-Fujianese and, who knows, pseudo-Fujianese.

Today, we are ALL Fujianese!

Yamato is 72,809 ton full displacement, Shinano is 69,151 ton full displacement, making Fujian the largest warship to be constructed in all of Asia, ever.

Soviet nuclear carrier Ulyanovsk would have been 75,000 tons full displacement if completed.

Generally, it takes three or four years from service to IOC, and several years from IOC to FOC
003 will be launched this year, and outfitting sea trials will take about two or three years. It is estimated that it will be delivered to the troops around 2024-2025, IOC around 2028-2029, and 2030+FOC

Such an unmanly response fully validates the decision to not name anything warlike after Guangdong.

Largest warship ever constructed outside the US, ever.

Alright!

Now that all the excitement and hoopla has died down, when do they start building two more just like it?

You know nothing, Jon Snow!
