It is reported that during the final assembly of the 003 aircraft carrier, an exciting news came. According to a report by the Hong Kong South China Morning Post on January 5, two independent military sources were quoted as saying that the fourth aircraft carrier will be launched in 2021. The keel was laid at the beginning of the year! This time the shipyard has not yet been determined, but China’s new shipyard may support the construction of this large aircraft carrier! At the same time, the disclosure of another information matches that of last year, so it is not ruled out that the 004 aircraft carrier is very likely to be the first aerodynamic aircraft carrier!
According to reports, the 004 aircraft carrier should have come faster, but due to well-known reasons, coupled with economic shocks, the construction of the 004 aircraft carrier has slowed down a bit, but China has purchased the 004 aircraft as early as 2020. Some components and special steel necessary for aircraft carriers have even begun to be built. According to reports, it is the second phase of the Changxing shipbuilding base started by China State Shipbuilding Corporation in January to support the Type 004 aircraft carrier, which is located on Changxing Island, Shanghai.
Among them, the information that "special steel necessary for the 004 aircraft carrier has been procured in 2020" reminds me that as early as June 20, the "Secret Information Network" published by the "Army Arms and Equipment Procurement Information Network" Among the 9 new procurement requirements and 53 procurement announcements, a "single-source announcement of the development project of the ship nuclear power system analysis model" suddenly became a storm in the military forum. In the full text of the latest development strategy outline published on its official website as early as 2018 on the China Shipbuilding Corporation in the report of
, when describing marine development, the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was clearly proposed for the first time, plus this material. The procurement list has made everyone speculate for a while that one of the 003 or 004 aircraft carriers may be China’s first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
At present, although the true and false are still uncertain, the information quoted by the independent military this time is compatible with the previously leaked information "9 new procurement requirements and 53 procurement announcements on the secret-related network", so we do not rule out the two. Or there may be a certain connection. In any case, it is better to investigate. If someone has leaked the secret, I hope to find out as soon as possible.
In addition, some people may mention that military experts such as Zhang Zhaozhong have previously stated that due to technological influence, it is impossible for China's 003 and 004 aircraft carriers to adopt nuclear power, but if the bureau seat , many of them are the opposite. The possibility of launching the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the Type 004 is a surprise, but it is not a big deal.
Moreover, since the "single source announcement of the development project of the nuclear power system analysis model of the ship" has been revealed, it can be known that my country has begun to build the nuclear power model ship to do pre-research work for the next type of nuclear power aircraft carrier. Even if 004 is not a real nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, it should be clear that our nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is already on the way.
Now, based on the information disclosed in the previous domestic and foreign news media, the displacement of the 004 aircraft carrier is very likely to be around 100,000 tons, which is unlikely to be smaller than the Liaoning and Shandong ships, at least the same as the 003 aircraft carrier. Based on the analysis of the editor, the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to leap directly from a conventional 60,000-ton aircraft carrier (not counting the 003-type aircraft carrier) to a 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is also a bit worrying.
Although they all hope that the Chinese Navy can have the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier as soon as possible, the premise must be stable nuclear power technology. After all, no one wants nuclear leakage. After all, one bite a fat man depends on the situation. It’s better to move forward.
Finally, regardless of the number of aircraft carriers, China’s nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are indispensable, and there will be more nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in my country in the future. We also look forward to the formation of a powerful strike team from the first aero-powered aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy. , To frighten the unruly countries in the deep blue ocean.
