lol wtf. So the module we all thought is a carrier demo module is really just the basis for an office building??

Or is the office building simply taking after their demo module. Either way, it's strange.

Chinese Hypermodern architecture continues to surprise.

I believe once their training regiment and capability to train at the land-based Naval Aviation Training Facilities and then graduate to an existing carrier is fully in place, and once they have a 2nd and 3rd carrier in place, that the Liaoning will be used as an operational STOBAR carrier.

I believe their second carrier will at first be STOBAR too, and look similar to the Liaoning, but perhaps have provisions for waste cats once they are ready for them, making the 2nd carrier at that point a hybrid STOBAR/CATOBAR carrier.

I believe with their third carrier they will go full CATOBAR.

Those are logical steps but a concern - are the J15s already designed to be capable of CATOBAR operations? Or is the thought process of the J15 having a niche STOBAR role only as a Liaoning and Liaoning+ airwing?

I seriously doubt it.. besides why would they build on office building on a shipyard? doesn't even make any sense!!

Structure for buildings are far different than a ship, especially carriers. Anyway, it's a butt ugly building IMO.

Why couldn't this be disinformation campaign, not to convince foreign progessional intelligence services that carrier related construction is really something else, but to simply saturate public domain with confusion, doubt and uncertainty?

Chinese had a history of such elaborate but not too convincing disinformation, remember the casino that would be Liaoning?

We don't know. I would think they would have designed the strength into the J-15 landing gear and undercarriage to withstand a cat launch...but we just do not know at this stage.

 据港媒报道,中国国防部新闻发言人杨宇军8月29日说,辽宁舰是中国第一艘航母,“但绝对不是唯一的一艘”。

  据香港《南华早报》网站8月31日报道,杨宇军在记者会上说,今后中国会根据国防和军队建设的需要,综合各方面因素,统筹考虑航母的发展建设问题。

  香港《信报》8月31日称,大连造船厂正建造新航母,结构类似辽宁舰,属于中型滑跃起飞常规动力航母,型号为001A。有军迷近日拍摄辽宁舰时,发现辽宁舰旁边的大型厂房内,有一个酷似辽宁舰舰首的黑影。



according to HK newspaper hin Pao,calim that Dalian is building a carrier,the CV will like liaoning,conventional power,STOBAR carrier designated no. 001A,it will refine version of Liaoning.
