I imagine weight to power ratio, lead time to max output, specific power, reliability standards, and corrosion resistance are all important factors for naval gas turbines.

Well did you read it has 36% efficiency which is very good What power ratio are you talking about ?
Reliability is no problem in naval application because you have distributed power and built in redundancy by having spare GT unlike in jet fighter.
What corrosion ingestion ? You can pretreated the air by passing to a chevron so the water droplet fell off Any any material that can withstand 2700 deg F will most likely made of Ni_Mo which is very corrosion resistant
It's not going to be used in any naval ships. It's going to be used to generate electricity for civilian purposes.
Is that due to size or is it not what a naval turbine would look like?

how many modules in total ?

The hangar has the same forward end as in Liaoning? That is not, what we expect?
There goes our thought of a larger hangar.
May it be used as maintenaince store then?
May it be used as maintenaince store then?
It might be just me, but that module appears to leave more hangar space in the actual photo than the CAD drawing makes it appear.

I can't say for others, but it is what I expected.
A month ago, I said:
People need to understand that an important purpose of 001A is to give China experience in building a carrier, not in designing one.
