New satellite imagery has shown that China may have started construction on a new aircraft carrier. This would be their second one, in addition to refurbished Soviet-era flattop they finished sea trials with last year. When the construction is finished, it’ll be China’s first carrier made in their country. But images leaked from The National Interest shows that it doesn’t look very much like a carrier at all, which is to be expected, considering that China doesn’t have the experience or skill to make anything like modern U.S. carriers. Perhaps this is why they’re so interested in hacking American intelligence.

Hayward air craft carriers are part of the reasons that decommissioned battleships. The are not out dated, they are essential for our air support in a moments notice. It’s true they are susceptible to anything if your playing world of warships but in real life they are heavily guarded by destroyers, and subs.
Just an expensive barge. The US is the only nation that has the technology and expertise to build large aircraft carriers. Even if the Chinese could build one, they will never have the knowledge and systems to actually operate them.
larger than a WWII$#%&!@*carrier and just a little smaller than a modern marine assault carrier. The Chinese are looking at local ocean control not globe these small cheap carriers are perfect for operations in the close confines of the south China sea and operations around pacific islands were our super carriers have a hard time operating. They are designed for a different mission than super carriers like the Ford class they are design for the same type of missions our marine assault carriers are and don’t need nuclear reactors for that. And they can build a dozen of these small carriers for the cost of one super carrier.
Yeah, the ski jump ships were cool!
Don’t worry Obama will give them our technology
Do you live under a rock?
Carriers are our Navy’s backbone…
Looks like a carrier. Cold war era.
They bought a 50s vintage carrier from Russia. When they get a navy, we are in trouble.
It looks like a fishing boat
