The third aircraft carrier naming ceremony in China was held on the morning of the 17th at Jiangnan Shipyard Ship Factory, China Shipbuilding Group Co., Ltd. Xu Qiliang, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, attended the ceremony.

At 11 o'clock, the launching ceremony began, and the audience sang the national anthem of the People's Republic of China, and the five -star red flag rose. Xu Qiliang awarded the naming certificate to the leader of the pickup forces, and jointly cut ribbon for the third aircraft carrier in my country. Then there was a bottle throwing ceremony. The champagne bottle touched the crack of the ship, the ship rang the whistle, the dock door opened, the aircraft carrier slowly moved out of the dock and stopped at the pier. The launching ceremony ended in the singing of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

With the approval of the Central Military Commission, the third aircraft carrier in my country is named "Fujian Ship of the People's Liberation Army Navy" and the port number is "18". The Fujian ship is the first ejection aircraft carrier that is completely designed and built in my country. It uses a flat and long flight deck, equipped with electromagnetic ejection and blocking device. It is full of more than 80,000 tons. After the ship is laid off, it will conduct a tiered test and navigation test as planned.

What exactly is the naval naming naming?

Domestic aircraft carrier Fujian ship is officially listed! Why is it called a Fujian ship? What level of ships will be named after the province and municipality?

In the sequence of the people's navy, combat vessels are usually referred to as ships. Generally, the displacement is more than 500 tons called "ship" and less than 500 tons called "boat"; submarines are called "boats" regardless of displacement. Each ship has its own number and ship name since its birth. Generally, the "1" head is a destroyer, and the "5" head is the frigate. Ship names enjoy the "lifelong system". In addition to the number, the "Names of Naval Names" clearly stipulates that cruisers and amphibious attack ships and above -level ships are named after the administrative province and municipality.
