Re: Ideal chinese carrier thread
The testing was done on a Midway class carrier back in the late 40's with a 120 plane complement; although tech has changed tremendously since then air traffic volume of that size would still be a significant problem to deal with.

Re: Ideal chinese carrier thread
I don't like those things, a bit of everything and nothing completely.
I also sometines think of mini CVs, but only with point defence capability and reliance on AAW escorts. Those mini carriers could then improve the situational awareness footprint of a SAG or perhaps even CSG. A few helos for improved ASW, or small, perhaps VTOL / tilt rotor UAVs with EO / RDR sensors to extant the picture beyond the visible horizon.
