Byron Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Last night during the Zoom meeting there was talk about the PLAN super carrier and that they were going to use the same cats that we're using. Maybe not....to this old shipfitters eyes it looks like a standard Kuznetov design with a ski ramp and no angle...which means they can't launch and recover at the same time....oops....

CV32 Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 China’s Massive New Aircraft Carrier Is As Big As It Can Be (Naval News, 27 Oct 2021) No ski jump. Three catapults. The angled deck is evident, but whether a Chinese version of EMALS will ultimately be fitted seems uncertain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted November 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Much better picture and it clearly shows the 3 cats. Thanks Brad for clearing this up. One downside is they only have 2 elevators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
