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.

Really depends on support, guided missile cruisers, surface to air capabilities, and did they rob our phalanx technology?, well see eventually….
Our great republic has by far, the most powerful navy in the world, end of story…
Just on technical issues. They had to create a launch pad for the planes in front of the carrier. Why? They don’t have the technology to catapult our fighters in 2-3 seconds. So, they created this primitive ramp to get their fighters flying. Also, their military technologies most likely came from Russia. Unfortunately, we have a beta male for President that can’t stand up to bullies. He bows to them. This explains why Russia and China and ISIS have all become emboldened. The flyby near our carriers by Russia is a flagrant violation of military rule that required at least some warning shots.
It looks like a smaller version of the British jump-deck carriers used for the Harrier VTOL’s & other STOL designs.
50 miles away? That would be an ICBM. No tactical missile made us that powerful, not even nukes.
It will literally take decades for China to aquire the institutional knowledge to effectively utilize and deploy their carriers to any real degree.
You fail to take into account the screening force and that any nuclear attack would trigger an attack in kind.
The ships of the screening force would pace themselves in the path of a missile most likely before allowing their carrier to be hit.

This is a copy of a British aircraft carrier; not new technology
China is the one to watch. We should strive to have the strongest military force in the world. That has prevented WW3. The Osama administration has depleted our military to dangerous levels. It now compares to our strength in the early fifties.
