Recently, the Fujian ship went out of the port for sea trials, which made the dream of military fans come true after years of waiting. But the sea trials of the Fujian are only the beginning, because on Changxing Island, where the Jianna shipyard is located, there are many more large-tonnage giant ships under construction, and many of them are "flat plates" with straight decks. In the process of the Fujian ship leaving the port, there was a scene of 160,000 tons of three "flat plates" in the same frame. And this kind of scene, in the past 10 years, can only be seen in Chinese shipyards around the world.
According to the network pictures, the Fujian aircraft carrier appeared in a rare scene when it left the dock, when the aircraft carrier was pulled through the channel by a tugboat, in the process of passing through the Changxing Island shipyard, it was in the same frame as a number of "flat plates". Among them, the middle is naturally the 003 aircraft carrier Fujian, and there is a Type 075 amphibious assault ship in front, and there is also a 075 in the rear, and you can see that there are still some scaffolding on its ship island, which should be the Type 075 No. 4 ship that is still under construction. From this point of view, the aircraft carrier coming to Changxing Island is a little overwhelmed.
And just such a casual 3 "flat plate" in the same frame, its total tonnage has reached 160,000 tons, of which the Fujian ship is more than 80,000 tons, and the 2 075 ships are about 40,000 tons. So what is the concept of 160,000 tons? The tonnage of the British Navy's capital ships is about 360,000 tons, and the tonnage of our three flat planes is already equivalent to half of the tonnage of the Navy's capital ships? This is based on the fact that Britain has two Elizabeth aircraft carriers, but recently there has been news that the British Navy is preparing to reduce aircraft carriers.
Of course, there are also military fans who say that 3 flatbeds are not enough, and they cannot fully demonstrate the level of aircraft carriers on Changxing Island. If this picture can be farther away, you can still see that in the dry dock of Hudong Shipyard not far away, there is also a "flat plate" under construction, which should be the Type 076 amphibious assault ship. Of course, although it is said to be an amphibious ship, in fact, there is a big gap with 075, according to recent pictures, 076's floating deck has been formed, judging from this trend, 076 is likely to be a large "flat plate" with an outward inclined deck. As for how this ship is classified, it must still be called an amphibious assault ship in China, after all, it should be low-key.
But it is not yet known what such a 5-60,000 ton ship with an electromagnetic catapult and a sloping deck will be called in the world. This should be the first type of ship in the world, after all, after all, after eating through the electromagnetic catapult technology, we can assemble and fuse on various hulls of different tonnages at will.
At present, in the area of Changxing Island alone, there are 4 "flat plates" at the same time, 2 075, 1 076, and 1 standard heavy aircraft carrier, which has reached 22 tons and tons, not to mention that the next 004 aircraft carrier may have started construction or is in preparation. If you want to say "dumplings", then 052D and 054A can only be regarded as small wontons, and this large number of large-tonnage "flat plates" can be regarded as "big dumplings". If this large number of "flat plates" are formed into an amphibious strike group and an aircraft carrier battle group, you can think about it for yourself, and it is no wonder that the West cannot sit still now, because the sea power has already turned against the sky.
Overall, after more than 10 years of dumplings, the number of surface ships of the 052D and 055 drive and the 054 series has been able to meet the demand, and the subsequent construction focus has begun to shift to large carrier-based aircraft platforms and submarines, of which this batch of 075 and 076, as well as the electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier Fujian is one of its achievements. In the future, in order to ensure that there are sufficient carrier-based aircraft platforms in port, maintenance, and ready to be dispatched at any time, the number of amphibious assault ships and aircraft carriers will be further increased. I believe that after the Fujian ship sea trial becomes Mrs. Niu, everyone's next Xiao Tiantian should be the 076 sea trial, let us look forward to the arrival of this day.
