An artistic illustrative poster of CV-18 Fujian, posted by the official social media account of the Ministry of State Security of the PRC.

For those who are wondering about the Lebanese national flag on the left of the UN flag: China does have peacekeeping forces stationed in Lebanon under the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).

A "resurrected" Soviet Navy multi-carrier CBG?

Technically speaking, Fujian is basically an enlarged Shandong with ski jumps removed and EMCATs laid in place. Hence Fujian still has visible lineages from the STOBAR carriers of Soviet (or largely Soviet) origin.

Technically speaking, Cybertruck is basically an enlarged golf cart with Bimini removed and a metal top laid in place. Hence Cybertruck still has visible lineages from the golf carts of American (or largely American) origin.

I'm an avid advocate for any PLAN destroyers which precede the 052Cs to be MLU-ed to become essentially large frigates or frigate leaders. This includes the 051Cs.

If the 051C DDGs (i.e. #115 and #116) can be MLU-ed with Chinese systems in the coming years, then hopefully one major aspect of the MLU would be swapping out those 8-cell S-300 rotary launchers and replacing them with the H/AKJ-16 VLS cells for the HHQ-16s.

The two rotary launchers in front of the bridge can be replaced with two 8-cell VLS modules, while the four rotary launchers in front of the helicopter landing pad can be replaced with four 8-cell VLS modules = 46 VLS cells in total.

Besides, those eight YJ-83 launchers can be replaced with eight YJ-62 launchers.

Big Bun CG on Weibo did just that, along with the additional retrofit of swapping the original radar and sensor systems with that of the 054B FFGs.

Of course, only if the PLAN doesn't plan to retire them in the near future and having their hull numbers taken up by the 2nd batch 055 DDGs.

Just a render of how the H-20 *can* look, by 地产画匠 on Wb. Not real.

1. Should've been posted in the PS/CG thread instead.
2. Looks too goofy to not be AI-generated.
3. With intakes that are even smaller than those on the B-21 - Unless powered by rocket engines or magic, this thing ain't flying.
