Media in Taiwan have made many speculations about the new aircraft carrier being built in mainland China, of course, the target parameters are the Fujian. It is reported that the new aircraft carrier is 340 meters long and 86 meters wide, which is 8 meters wider than the Fujian. If the width increases, the deck area expands, which will bring two aspects of development.
First, if the deck area increases, there will be more space for the parking and use of carrier-based aircraft and deck operations. The comprehensive combat indicators it forms will be very powerful. Because in the most core and important part of naval weapons equipment is the number of carrier-based aircraft deployed and the number of deployment batches. The number of carrier-based aircraft a warship can carry is an important standard, as well as the "fist" of maritime and air attacks.
Second, the displacement will increase. According to what the media in Taiwan described, the new aircraft carrier is 340 meters long and 86 meters wide, which seems to be larger than the U.S. "Ford"-class. The current U.S. "Ford" is the strongest warship in the world. However, in terms of comprehensive combat indicators, displacement, and compared to the new aircraft carrier under construction, there is still a gap. If our country's aircraft carrier achieves the first in the world in terms of new ship structure and displacement, the comprehensive indicators will certainly be greatly improved. However, the most core and important thing is nuclear power.
The next step, if we replace conventional power with nuclear power, we will have no worries about electricity. Conventional power combined with electromagnetic catapult is an innovation and development of China. However, in some ways, the entire cycle of the aircraft carrier, including energy supply, seems to have certain problems. If we have a new nuclear reactor as the basic power, we can have worry-free electricity.
Therefore, the attention of the media in Taiwan on the mainland's aircraft carrier seems very excited, which also indicates that the "Taiwan independence" armed forces are now feeling that the development of the People's Liberation Army's comprehensive weapons and equipment has become increasingly weak. Especially their own equipment has small tonnage, slow speed, and limited average tonnage. Therefore, they are showing a high level of concern towards the development of the People's Liberation Army's weapons and equipment, especially the development of super-large weapons.
It doesn't matter whether the media in Taiwan pays attention or not. Because our navy weapons and equipment are moving towards long-range navigation. In the future, the aircraft carrier may be bigger, the cycle shorter, and the capabilities stronger. If there are more aircraft to perform missions, and more ships forming a strong fleet, the continuous combat capability and offensive combat capability formed at sea will be further improved. At the same time, the control level over surrounding seas, including different islands, will reach a new height. We hope for more aircraft carriers, and we will strive to make each one achieve significant progress.
From the Liaoning, Shandong to the Fujian, each construction is a step forward. I think the construction of the fourth aircraft carrier will aim to reach the highest level globally, surpass the highest level, and create the highest level globally. In short, the signal is very sensitive that the new aircraft carrier in China is 8 meters wider than the Fujian, and the combat function, including combat capability, will also reach a new height.
