China’s Junk Aircraft Carrier Fears to Sail? A Big Joke Due to Copycat Failure

  • After a lengthy wait of over 500 days, China's highly publicized naval behemoth, the Fujian (003) aircraft carrier, still hasn't set out on its sea trials. Key dates that were once predicted as significant milestones, including Army Day and National Day, have come and gone without the carrier's debut. Furthermore, details about the launch date of China's subsequent endeavor, the "004" aircraft carrier, remain shrouded in uncertainty.
    The electromagnetic catapult technology used by the Fujian carrier is entirely different from its American counterpart, making any form of imitation impossible. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has limited capacity for technological innovation. Turning concepts into reality on its own is akin to gambling. The 004 aircraft carriers need to match electromagnetic ejection technology with nuclear power plants, which is also an uncharted territory the CCP lacks experience in.

    One thing the video didn't mention was that maintaining an aircraft carrier is super expensive. With China being nickeled and dimed by all its poor economic choices, beyond the investment cost, the price of upkeep and the many repairs has to be like a black hole in Chinese finances. China chose to run carriers because of the prestige associated with them, but I think that was a poor choice. Now they are stuck with these expensive floating rubbish bins that they can't dismantle without losing face, and can't refit because of the cost, leaving them in this limbo of having nonfunctional carriers. This is probably the worst position they could have fallen into.

    Military doctrine and training manuals are written in blood. The U.S. is the leading carrier navy in the world, but that didn't just happen because we built a couple aircraft carriers. Every battle, every carrier lost refined our tactics and enabled us to become more and more effective and efficient. The sailors that died on the Lexington, Wasp, Yorktown, Hornet and others led to the victories later in the war. The tens of thousands of strike missions in Korea, Vietnam, and the Gulf, the hundreds of thousands of takeoffs and landings, the decades of experience have led to institutional knowledge that allow the U.S. Navy to be the leading world power. That doesn't mean we're invulnerable. Close in to shore, under and umbrella of hundreds of ASMs, hypersonic missiles, and land based airpower, there is a survivability problem, but on the open ocean, the Chinese Navy wouldn't last past the first exchange and nothing they do can change that quickly.

      Enemies in war are actually a lesser threat than operational mishaps for a carrier with air wing and screening elements. The older steam catapults have their hazards but at least they're well known. Electric cats still have considerable potential unknowns for the US and they're the only navy with any operational experience so China with their attitude toward safety will injure or kill many and probably destroy a lot of equipment before they have good operating doctrine.

      sadly there is a lot of misunderstanding about how nuclear reactors function. most of the time they function very differently than how a nuclear bomb does, and its impossible for them to detonate. sometimes this isn't the case, such as Chernobyl, but there isn't any reason to use a potentially explosive version on any military vessel. the absolute worst that could happen is that the cooling system entirely fails and the radioactive material gradually melts its way out of the ship before sinking into the ocean. this would be a minor to moderate ecological disaster for the local area, though thankfully one that could probably be fairly easily cleaned up because it is a solid material not a liquid like oil, so you'd just need to retrieve the material afterwards.
      i won't say that it's completely impossible for a situation to arise where a nuclear powered vessel has a nuclear reaction, but it would be an extremely rare occurrence. it would also be most likely to happen with a nations 'first time' nuclear powered vessel due t them not having extensive safety procedures and designs due to lack of experience, as opposed to highly skilled and experienced designs and operators like the US Navy

Not to mention that the steel needed to build the flight deck is incredibly hard to produce and if you mess it up the whole ship is compromise. .

      Carrier needs many other ships to support it. Carrier alone is simply a juicy target so as a crude example it needs: a submarine, couple anti-submarine ships, anti-air destroyers, frigate, supply ship (at least one)... Number and mix of ships vary but the point is /a carrier group/ is so much more then just one carrier! Overall it needs thousands of men, insane amount of fuel per day, constant maintenance, etc.
      On that last point, after nation becomes "dependent" on a carrier group to project power outwards, taking the group home for lengthy months long maintenance will leave a void that their enemy can exploit. Therefore relying only on one carrier is not good but if there is no money for two, it becomes a major weakpoint that enemy will absolutely exploit.
      Also, having just one carrier could make the one carrier too expensive to risk on crucial missions as one carrier at home is more valuable then one sunken carrier at the bottom of the sea.
      In the end, it's all fun and games to own a carrier but it has way too many downsides if not done properly. At worst, it an endless money pit, offers no new technological advancement, makes the country look like a fool and will never actually be put into service.

The problem is, they literally have ZERO experience in operating a carrier, let alone having actual doctrine for it.

    China has no deep-water NAVY combat experience. Threatening the South China Sea with boats built on kickbacks doesn't count. Meanwhile, the U.S. and its allies retain nearly 100 years of carrier-based naval combat experience, developing the super-carrier and its fleet, which it has used in live war. China has another 100 years to catch up, which it cannot do without innovation.

      If the war does not involve the control of deep-water seas, then doctrines based on deep-water experience will be of less use.
      Perhaps China does not plan to carry hostilities short of outright war into deep-water, for example. You know, they might be planning on brown water operations where deep-water units like submarines are at a disadvantage and where land-based aviation will supplement carrier operations (can you say Battle of Midway).

    Thank you, thank you! Some months ago, I caught some flack for criticizing a well known retired F14 aviators claims that the US had much to be concerned about when China launches their newest "super" carrier. Among my criticism was the fact that the US and UK have been building/testing/improving carriers for 100 years as compared to China's few years. Also, by the time the airwing joins up with the carrier, we were training, testing, improving for weeks into months. China does not have the training infrastructure and senior experience to train to any level of competence. The methods and procedures for loading supplies and ammunition ie 1000 + pound bombs etc have been developed since WW2. mishandling food stores makes people sick while mishandling weapons kills people and sinks ships. I am just guessing, but I suspect China does not send all ships company personnel to fire fighting training.
    Several knowledgeable former/retired navy engineers have evaluated China's ability to build an electromagnetic launch system and conclude the power plant does not have the capacity to both power the propulsion system and launch planes simultaneously. Possibly, they could build up enough forward speed and then shift the output to charge the aircraft launch system. At best, all electric power requirements (lighting, air conditioning, radar(?)) would be cut while charging the launch system. Sounds like a real cluster foxtrot. Their launch/recovery rate (sorties) would be laughable. There is a reason Ford has the reactor output that was designed in from the get-go.

      @@mazatlan79P The Russians originally installed those on that carrier line because the Russians don't have a robust support fleet for their carriers. Their carrier has to pull its weight across multiple roles for a single ship. One U.S. carrier strike group was bigger than the entire Soviet/Russian surface fleet. They knew that most of their ships that they claimed they had weren't seaworthy or never truly outfitted. Their carriers would have fewer combat ships supporting it so the carrier itself would have to perform some offensive duties outside of their attached aircraft. When your fleet consists of a few destroyers and a couple of cruisers versus an enemy of 3-4 cruisers, 4-5 destroyers along with multiple carriers, frigates and other support ships all equipped with vertical launch tubes of missiles, you can't afford to waste space and go in under gunned.

    The USN was fearful the Type 003 would essentially be a Chinese copy of the Kitty Hawk/Forestall Class conventionally powered, steam catapult super carrier. While smaller than Nimitz and Ford Class super carriers, they are just as capable and showed to be highly effective/economical. Which is why the USN used them until 2000's and would be ships Chinese shipyards could construct relatively easily, cheaper and quickly. With some estimates at 2 to 4 carrier ever 6 years, with goal of giving the China at least 6 carriers. The USN was convinced 4 to 6 Kitty Hawk/Forestall Class conventionally powered, steam catapult super carriers. Would give China effectively control over Western pacific. Instead the Chinese built the Fujian a conventionally powered sorta copy of Ford Class, down to electromagnetic catapults the USN is still perfecting. This told USN planner that the CCP was not serious about a carrier fleet. That the Fujian is just propaganda display and not meant to fight the USN. At most its existence is meant to intimate smaller weaker nations around China into submission. Unfortunately for them that backfired as instead, those nations ran to the US for help.

      That's an interesting thought, and there is precedent. After WWII, Japanese organisations would look at plans for British-built boats, but decide not to buy them, yet not long after they would suddenly pop up as being Japanese made. So in other words, the Japanese were copying the plans. After this had happened a few times, with the cooperation of the UK government, when another request occurred they were fed doctored plans, where the centre of gravity was above the centre of buoyancy. They decided not to buy the boat after all, but soon after it started construction in Japan. However, as soonn as it launched it turned upside down. They didn't steal any more boat plans.

The airgroup ALSO needs to mesh with the capabilities of the escorts for even mere self-defense, not to mention the SSN that will be trailing this thing everywhere.
    The pace of US operations require almost a 2 working up to 1 deployed rotation, which merely 3 units, with obvious different capabilities in the mix, will be an issue.

    We need highly motivated individuals who are willing to do more than just complain online. It's why I started my own local chapter of ADV.
    Every freedom loving country needs people willing to form Grassroots Organizations/Movements.
    1) To ensure that our politicians aren't putting the interests of the CCP above our own countries.
    2) To support human rights, and preserve freedom & democracy around the world; from the CCP-PLA's undue influences and harm.
    3) To elect politicians who will be on the right side of history.
    4) To develop tough on China legislation.
    5) To expose and weed out CCP corruption abroad.
    6) To foster the fraternity of NATO Nations.
    7) To stop China stealing land & resources. And take them back.
    8) Require the CCP to pay reparations for the pandemic
    9) ....anything else necessary
    This is a conversation we should all be having with each other, friends, and neighbors.

      It's an offshoot of the ADV podcast community. We are a bunch of hardcore fans who decided to stop complaining online, and actually do something about the CCP in our countries. I was at the recent APEC protests in SF, because I live in the Bay Area. But we have a massive one being organized for Earth Day.

    An aircraft carrier of this size and not nuclear powered is a serious disadvantage. I really can't understand why they didn't fit a reactor for this. It is now nothing more than a show piece for ego reasons, no real world application.

      Probably China doesn't intend to deploy out of region, so no long endurance steaming is required? How did the US operate using conventional carriers up until lately?

      my theory is because a nuclear powered AC doesn't need to return to homebase except every decode to a few decades for refueling, but a diesel one does need to. the captain of a nuclear chinese AC could very easily go rogue and try to take off in ti to establish themselves as some sort of warlord or pirate with an aircraft carrier at their disposal, while a diesel powered AC couldn't have the possibility of doing so.
      not that this would actually work, but china (or at least XI) is super paranoid about things like this

      Imagine how much diesel a carrier requires per hour to be functional.
      This will severely limit their time away from the marine basi5s
