Dude, let's move on, we can stop beating a dead horse and stop derailing the thread.

The 9-3 parade was held in September 3rd, not October.

Yes, I'm aware of this.

Why Chinese people love doing such silly thing! They just want to be American so badly....

It is not silly it is fun. Top Gun is the best aviation movie and that intro is GOLD. I bet half of the people here love that movie.

Using an American product to shaft the Americans is brilliant.

6200 Yankee: 我们进行的这个弹射次数，无论是路上的还是舰上的，总次数是与美国人的福特号的差距在飞速的缩小，【由于肯尼迪的服役时间】，我预计反超不会太远了 / The total number of catapult launches we’ve carried out—both ashore and at sea—is rapidly narrowing the gap with the U.S. Ford. Given the Kennedy’s commissioning timeline, I expect it won’t be long before we overtake them. (in EMALS launches)

but CVN-78 has done over 30,000 launches and recoveries, the total count is impossible to catch up, i'd assume he meant the gap in sortie rates is rapidly narrowing

次数 = Frequency, not total count. So, yes, it should be sortie rates.

"The total frequency rate (of EMAL launches) vs CVN-78 Gerald Ford is closing fast."
