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.

A made in China aircraft carrier? Should be looking for these for sale at Walmart soon? When they break, do you just throw them away and get another one?
Alot of good points on here.
But nothing says the U.S. is in town like a carrier battle group.
Anthony Louis Passanisi they have there own 3 level protection system same as all ships
Something looks off in the photo. Perspective maybe? The front end looks bent….
Where do you get your numbers? We only have 272 ships in the battle fleet total (US Navy numbers — http://www.navy.mil/navydata/nav_legacy.asp?id=146). We have 10 Carrier Battle Groups with the latest CVN retirement, 85 cruisers and destroyers, 26 small surface combatants (frigates, minesweepers, and LCS), 31 Amphibious warfare ships of all types, 55 attack subs (Los Angeles, Seawold, and Virginia classes), 14 ballistic missile submarines, four of the OMFG guided missile subs, and 57 logistics/support ships.This is below minimum (and I mean absolute minimum) force requirements of 306 ships. We are having to keep 30-40% at sea deployed at anytime, which eats into training and maintenance. In contrast, in 1987 (peak of the Reagan buildup), we had 14 carriers, 3 Iowa-class battleships, 105 cruisers and destroyers, 143 small surface combatants, 102 attack subs and SSBNs, 62 amphibious warfare and command ships, plus 127 auxilaries, for 227 surface warfare ships and 594 total platforms.
Is it made from legos ?
