China's new aircraft carrier! Wow!.....:clap:

These aircraft carriers look formidable and of ultra modern design. There
are reports the 1st Chinese aircraft carrier is under construction and could
enter service around 2015 or earlier. It won't be long before we see the
real thing. Defense analysts are waiting; watching anxiously.

THIS IS 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 UTILISATION OF TWIN FLIGHT DECKS AT ONCE
P.S. SOME THOUGHT SHOULD BE GIVEN TO ADVISING YOUR GRANDCHILDREN TO LEARN TOSPEAK MANDARIN ( FORGET SPANISH ) MY " VERY, VERY BRIGHT " 15-YEAR OLD 3rd COUSIN HAS ALREADY BEEN ADVISED TO DO SO BY PEOPLE WHO KNOW ABOUT SUCH THINGS.

P.P.S SIX OF THESE VESSELS ( TWO PACIFIC, TWO ATLANTIC, ONE INDIAN OCEAN
AND ONE MED 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 ' HIGH RAILROAD INTO TIBET (ALL CONSIDERED MAJOR ENGINEERING FEATS).

THEY ARE THE ONLY NATION OTHER THAN RUSSIA THAT CAN LAUNCH MEN INTO OUTER SPACE ( OUR CAPABILITY ENDS WITH THE LAST SPACE SHUTTLE LAUNCH THIS MONTH )
. 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 A/C 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.

The most impressive thing to me about this is that China will build this ship with cash money. They won't have to go to another country with hat in hand asking for the money to build it. Hmmm.

I know it isn't much in the big picture but why are we giving China 27 Million in Foreign Aid? Then we have to borrow from the ****ers.
I hate foreign aid to some of these countries, to me it is like paying ransom. :leaving:

BTW-LANDING on a carrier is still uniquely a USN thing. No other country lands on a flat carrier other than the US. They'll lose 100 pilots and aircraft befor they figure it out.

Yes... if it's made with Chinese steel it will crack like an egg in the mildest seas and go straight to the bottom.

I just saw a report the other day about china buying old soviet carriers and refurbishing them. I would be surprised if this this is actually real.

As for steel, I do know there are two 747s that fly in and out of Nashville each week that puck up loads of steel and fly it back to China. They have been running these planes for about 8 years now.

They're pretty much the masters of copying others. We figured it out--so will they.

And are you sure about that? What about the Charles de Gaulle?

Here we go:

BBC News - China aircraft carrier confirmed by general (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-13692558)

Not the same as in the pics.

http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/53307000/gif/_53307657_varyagcredit.gif

The PLA - the largest army in the world - is hugely secretive about its defence programme.

The carrier was constructed in the 1980s for the Soviet navy but was never completed. When the Soviet Union collapsed, the rusting hull of the Varyag sat in dockyards in Ukraine.

A Chinese company with links to the PLA bought the Varyag claiming it wanted to turn it into a floating casino in Macau.

The carrier is thought to be nearly finished, and is expected to begin sea trials later this year.

But the BBC's Michael Bristow in Beijing says that does not mean it will then be ready to undertake operational duties.

Yea, no shit.

Still don't understand why republicans consider China our enemy. China is our second larget trading partner. We do more business with China than Japan, Germany and the UK COMBINED. They have zero reason to want to attack us.

Besides, we need another super power to keep our foreign policy in check. If Russia had been stronger, we never would have gotten into that Iraq clusterf*ck.
