Re: Ideal chinese carrier thread
Exactly! I remember when Canada built the city class frigate in the late 80's She completely lost her warship building capability after long hiatus of 25 years There is not a single shipyard that built warship But She still has St John Shipyard that continue building civilian freighter And She still the world leader in process industry Worst ,There is not single company that built military sensor like radar and
fcs but she has thriving industry in supplying Radar to civilian airport.
In no time at all She build brand new shipyard to built naval warship St John hire many british naval designer and skill trade men by boatload.Form a new company to design Naval sensor in cooperation with leading university.The strength of Canadian industry save the day
I think this is the crux of the argument. I don't believe this analogy holds up when you increase the scale to thousands of people over several decades. A large military project is a combination of very many skills, and most of these skills have a civilian counterpart. For the ones that don't you 1) hire from other countries, 2) develop the skills with intensive R&D effort, or 3) live with the fact that this particular area (not the whole ship) will be inferior. Even option three isn't the end of the world - nobody said the ship had to be perfect.
