Now compare this to the Japanese heli carriers.



It's no coincidence that China killed all their smartest and most creative people back in the Mao days.

ADNOC just took ownership of some Chinese built Jack-up rigs. Pretty much every single thing on them was messed up. The drawworks on one (heart of the rig) had a massive crack down the middle of it. Nothing the Chinese build should worry anyone.

China has millions more men than women due to the one child policy.

They have to do something with them to get them back in ratio...

The Submarine Force sees this floating chunk of crap, as merely target practice. I can promise you all, our Sub Force is desperately waiting for someone to get stupid. I’ll take the US Sub Force, and throw in Australia’s (crazy bastards running old US Diesel Subs), against any Navy.

Can't wait for Ritter and MeGregor to tell me this is technologically advanced and will decimate the US Navy.

I've said this 1000 times, we'd sink that entire POS navy in a day before it left port.

Can’t ANY aircraft carrier be a helicopter carrier? Just a matter of deck size and how many pads can fit and and take off sequence so you aren’t flying into each others rotor wind.

Its because other countries cannot figure out how to launch a plane. Its why they all have ramps. So they cant build them yet.

How does one defend that without long range air support?

I always assumed it was strictly economic. The cost to build a real carrier are astronomical. Add in the costs to operate it,

Add in the costs to defend it,

no, this one is "supposed" to be developed all by them, they are supposedly building a nuclear carrier also, but I think that is probably a big waste of resources for them, especially if they are just going across the Taiwan strait, helicopter carriers are way less expensive and more versatile just launch the jets from air fields in China

That deck looks like shite.


Almost looks like exposed steel deck with a thin, shitty paint job. Where’s the Non-Skid?

I'm pretty sure it just launched and is still going through sea trials and what not. I'm sure they'll paint the deck and it will look better by the time it enters service.
