The world's largest conventional aircraft carrier: the United States has gone withdrawal, and C

Foreign media's speculation on the third aircraft carrier in China will continue to launch in the near future. It is called "the world's largest conventional power carrier", which is enough to compare with the American "Little Eagle" conventional aircraft carrier.

Coincidentally, the website of the US Naval Society said on June 1 that the previously retired "Little Eagle" was dragged to a shipproof factory, waiting for its fate to completely disintegrate and sell.

According to the U.S. Navy Society website, the last conventional super carrier of the United States has been dragged to Brysville, Texas, and the "Eagle" will be completely demolished at the shipyard demolition factory on the Nanda Island on the US -Mexico border. untie. Previously, it was sold to International Shipping Co., Ltd. by the US Navy at a symbolic price of 1 cedar.

A spokesman for the company said that the demolition of the "Little Eagle" will officially begin in July and plans to complete all demolition processes within 18 months. It is expected that the completion date is December 2023.

It is reported that as the final retired conventional power carrier in the United States, the "Eagle" was served in 1961 and retired in 2009. Its full -load displacement is as high as 80,000 tons and can be equipped with more than 80 various carrier -based aircraft like other nuclear aircraft carriers. During the service, the super carrier participated in various conflicts from the US military from the Vietnam War to the 2003 Iraq war.

But the deep impression of the "Little Eagle" left to the Chinese is the only aircraft mother that the U.S. Navy's cutting -edge deployment in Japan for a long time. During the 10 -year deployment of Yokosuka Base in Japan, the "Little Eagle" has demonstrated to the PLA many times in China.

Of course, the PLA will not show weakness. In 2009, the U.S. Pacific Headquarters Commander Ki Ting will admit that the "Little Eagle" was humiliated by Chinese submarines ": In 2006, a Chinese navy submarine was approaching the American" Little Eagle "aircraft carrier battle group. "".

Time has changed, and now not only the "Eagle" has been dragged into the shipproof factory, it is about to become a bunch of scrap iron. The US Navy's activities around China have also greatly converged. The three -dimensional offensive.

The outside world is more concerned that China's domestic new types of aircraft carriers are likely to launch in the recent water. Hong Kong's "South China Morning Post" stated on June 1 that the Shanghai Maritime Safety Administration had issued a notice requesting to make a berth of No. 3 and No. 4 docks of the Jiangnan Shipyard, which is under construction, to operate. The outside world believes that this shows that Jiangnan Shipyard prepares the third aircraft carrier of China. The South China Morning Post also quoted Taiwan's military experts that the aircraft carrier's launch will marked the end of the construction of the dry dock, and then the aircraft carrier will conduct maritime tests and equipment installation.

India's "Eurasian Times" had previously speculated that China's third aircraft carrier was scheduled to fall into the water on April 23, but was postponed due to the Shanghai epidemic. "Now the shipyard is going to work."

According to foreign media reports, the drainage volume of this new Chinese aircraft carrier is equivalent to the "Little Eagle" class. It will exceed the British "Queen Elizabeth" class carrier and become the world's largest conventional aircraft carrier. "Little Eagle" level. It is said that, unlike the two Russian aircraft carriers in China and Shandong ships, new aircraft carriers who are about to launch are likely to use three electromagnetic ejaculation to replace the first two aircraft carriers' slip -take -off mode. This is "the world in the world. The most advanced aircraft ejection system ".

Foreign media also believes that although this new Chinese aircraft carrier still uses conventional power, it is expected that after the relevant technologies such as electromagnetic ejection are verified, China will start construction of a new generation of nuclear -powered aircraft carriers.
