The launch of the Fujian ship is reminiscent ...

We should work hard to do our own thing, so that we have the opportunity to become stronger and better.

Yesterday (June 17), the third aircraft carrier naming ceremony was held in Jiangnan Shipyard, China Shipbuilding Group Co., Ltd. That night, the naval spokesman Liu Wensheng released related news on issues such as Fujian ship naming, deployment, performance characteristics and test arrangements.

my country's third aircraft carrier's launching ceremony was held on the morning of June 17 at the Jiangnan Shipyard of China Ship Group Co., Ltd. Jiangnan Shipyard: Xinhua News Agency

From the perspective of Uncle Hai, the launch of the Fujian ship is just a node for the Chinese Navy towards the blue water journey. As Liu Wensheng said, the Fujian ship with the port number "18" is the first ejection aircraft carrier that is completely designed and built in my country. It uses a flat -pass long flight deck, equipped with electromagnetic ejection and blocking device, with a full -load displacement of more than 80,000 tons. After the Fujian ship is laid off, it will conduct a tie -tie test and navigation test, and the next step will be arranged to be transferred to the list according to the progress of various tasks. We will consider the maintenance of national sovereignty, security, development of interests, and the characteristics of the use of aircraft carriers and port security conditions, and scientifically select the location of the Fujian ship.

Of course, the launch of the Fujian ship is also impossible to look back at the journey of the Chinese Navy in the past ten, fifty years, or even longer ...

Ten years of time -September 21, 2012, the 001 aircraft carrier was officially delivered to the People's Navy, named the Liaoning ship.

This ship is not easy. From the unporing aircraft carrier "Warkeg" after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, to the crossing of the Bosptruz Strait to China, and then converting into a Liaoning ship. The aircraft carrier era came to the era of aircraft carrier.

Liaoning ship is the first aircraft carrier in China

Looking back at the 1980s, after China entered the years of reform and opening up, it was actually controversial whether it was necessary to develop an aircraft carrier. But I have to say that as far as the people's navy is concerned, it is still looking forward to the aircraft carrier.

During the visit to the United States in 1980, Liu Huaqing, then the deputy chief of staff of the PLA, when he visited the U.S. "assault" and "Little Eagle" aircraft carrier, the photos left by them are difficult to this day. forget.

Liu Huaqing visits U.S. aircraft carrier facilities

Liaoning ships are the best consolation of Liu Huaqing's soldiers. On November 23, 2012, when the carrier-based aircraft test pilot Dai Mingmeng drove the J-15 aircraft successfully blocking the ship, it represented that the Chinese also became the aircraft carrier club in the Three-generation aircraft era. In July 2015, the Liaoning ship organized a real shot for the first time and achieved all good results. Since 2016, the aircraft carrier formation with the Liaoning ship has been conducting practical training in the South China Sea and the West Pacific Ocean, promoting overall training of full elements and full processes, and continuously deepening practical deployment drills.

Including the subsequent Shandong ship, and the Fujian ship that has just laid off today, it shows that Chinese aircraft carriers are developing step by step.

If the node is fifty years -in 1970 earlier than fifty years, Liu Huaqing, who was 54 years old, associated with the aircraft carrier. In 2017, Xinhuanet's article entitled "'Father of Chinese Aircraft Carrier': If China does not build an aircraft carrier, I will die," in 1970, Liu Huaqing went to the "Ship Office" to work, and according to the instructions of the superior, he organized the topic of the aircraft carrier to organize the topic of the aircraft carrier ship. Research and reported the project's plan. After that, even if there was a change, Liu Huaqing's aircraft carrier dream temporarily stranded, but his attention to the aircraft carrier did not decrease.

In 1975, Liu Huaqing had "needed to develop an attack -type and escort -type aircraft carrier to Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping and other central leaders.

Since then, after the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, when he visited the United States, he inspected the US aircraft carrier.

In the 1980s, China purchased the "Melbourne" aircraft carrier and disassembled it. The picture shows the "Melbourne" when serving in service

In the 1980s, China purchased the Australian Navy's retired "Melbourne" aircraft carrier. The ship was originally the "majestic" of the British Kings Navy Giant Light Carrier, which started in 1943. He joined the Australian Navy in 1956 and has been upgraded and modified in Britain and the United States many times. But in the early 1980s, Australia decided to let it withdraw from the historical stage. Immediately afterwards, the Australian side demolished the weapons and equipment on the "Melbourne", and then sold to a shipproof company in China. Although the British "Jane's Defense Weekly" did not say sourly, the "Melbourne" allowed the Chinese People's Liberation Army to contact aircraft carriers up close, understand aircraft carriers, and help future research and development aircraft carriers. But in fact, the "Melbourne" was finally dismantled.

Soviet "Kyiv" aircraft carrier formation

China really obtains practical aircraft carriers, in the eyes of Uncle Hai's view of the 1990s. With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, its "Kyiv" and "Minsk" in the second -generation aircraft carrier of the Soviets in the mid -1970s were sold to China.

Among them, the "Kyiv" was auctioned by Russia after disassembling weapons and equipment. It was bid by a US company first. However, because the company's financial crisis, the company could not pay. Finally, a shipping company in Tianjin, China, bought it. It became the theme amusement park and later changed to an aircraft carrier hotel.

The "Minsk" currently parked on the side of the Sutong Bridge

Similar to the "Kyiv", after retiring in 1992, its same -class ship "Minsk" was bought by South Korean Daewoo Group after removing weapons and equipment, and then received by Chinese companies. Uncle Hai has come into contact with the "Minsk" once -early 2003, in Shenzhen. The "Minsk" was converted into an aircraft carrier park. Even so, the close -up feeling is still -40,000 tons of aircraft carriers, which is still a giant ship of the tiger. Later, the theme park was closed, and the "Minsk" was dragged to the side of the Sutong Bridge. Several times I drove across the Sutong Bridge. When I glanced, I saw the "Minsk".

You know, the current Indian aircraft carrier "Vikra Matia" is modified by the Kyiv aircraft carrier "Baku".

The Indian Navy "Vikhamatia"

In other words, the three brothers of the Kyiv -class aircraft carrier of the Soviet era-

At present, the two ships are in China, but they are basically in a "amusement park" or even semi -deductible state;

One in India, the Indian Navy is also used by a baby.

Uncle Hai can't help but say that if there is no construction and efforts of national defense science workers, if the development of Chinese aircraft carrier is only satisfied with buying old goods in other countries for modification, at most, it can reach a Liaoning ship, and the level of all aspects may reach the level of all aspects. Without the level of its sister ship and the "General of the Russian Nunv Navy" of the Russian army.

It is the introduction, digestion and absorption that Chinese aircraft carriers have achieved today. Of course, we are still moving halfway now. Do not forget that the "Little Eagle" that the United States is currently dismantling is the conventional power carrier developed before the era of nuclear power carrier in the U.S. military. Once, it was known as the strongest conventional power carrier on the surface. Today, in 2022, the "Little Eagle" was dismantling and the Fujian ship was new.

Faced with 11 aircraft carriers sitting at 11,000 tons or even above, and even in the United States, which is still making new aircraft carriers in batches. Of course, we develop aircraft carriers. We should work hard to do our own business. In this way, we have the opportunity to become stronger, better, and not to defeat ...
