China's New Aircraft Carrier On Drawing Board

China's New Aircraft Carrier On Drawing Board


 

The  following comment from an American Observer who viewed the illustrations above;

 

This  is a quantum leap above anything we have on the  drawing board. They have thought "outside the  box" on this one. Better speed, larger capacity,  much more stable, etc. Definitely a "blue-water"  long reach vessel. Plus they can service their  nuke sub fleet in-between the twin hulls ( sight  unseen ) or even launch amphibious opps from  same. It will be launched in half the time it  takes the USA at just one-third the cost. Add  the new Chinese stealth fighter bomber (naval  version already flight-testing) in the mix and  you have the makings of a formidable weapons  system indeed. Also look at that extra ''parking  and readiness'' station between both hull  structures. And of course the launching and  landing capabilities from the utilization of  twin flight decks at once.

 

Six of these  vessels (two pacific, two Atlantic, one Indian  ocean and one on the Mediterranean sea ) would  be a pretty good diplomatic "big stick." Note :  the Chinese are already drilling for oil off  Cuba , Brazil and Venezuela .. Can they build a  fleet of these things?

 

A few facts: the  Chinese have completed the world's biggest dam  (three gorges), the world's longest over-water  bridge (65 times as much steel as in the Eiffel  tower), constructed a 15,000 ft. High railroad  into Tibet (all considered major engineering  feats).

 

China is the only nation other  than Russia that can launch men into outer space   . They have also shot  down a surveillance satellite (one of their own)  from the ground. Plus, they "own our ass" in the  international debt game.


 

China 's new  carrier could be twice as fast as anything we  have, plus the stability of a catamaran type  hull will greatly reduce the pitching, yawing  and swaying common to our present  designs.
