CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread

Admiral Gorshkov understood that: Submarines are excellent weapons - but you can't see them. Power politics with a naval power consisting primarily of submarines cannot succeed.

I understand bro BUT now as China is facing against an overwhelming Naval force, the combination of hypersonic missile and submarine are lethal. Those carriers will be operating at a distance that makes them a liability and mission incapable rather than an asset.

Is there a threat situation? Who is planning an attack on China?

The 052C class does not have a VLS in that position.

Looking at other shots of the 052C from the rear, it looks like that’s just a temporary structure they erected.

You're right, the vls is a bit more to the back. Instead the structure is where the VHF radar is.

On the Taiwan scenario, the premise of the post is about mass producing Carriers which is costly and from a tactical point of view with land base aircraft providing cover then submarine is more useful in taking the fight to the enemy.

Taiwan scenario? I hope nobody here wants war.

Judging by some recent posts, some fools think they do.

China may not want a war, but war may be imposed upon China, particularly on Taiwan.

I'm shocked some people here are so naïve as to believe that the likelihood of war around Taiwan has not increased substantially.

Who wants to impose a war on Taiwan?

Which planet are you on?

OK, if Taiwan is threatened, it's time to arm Taiwan.

I think intelligent rearmament needs to be invented, making every house and village self-sufficient, because Taiwan will become isolated.

But that's not a topic for an aircraft carrier thread.
