60,000-ton sliding platform, why didn't the third ship be produced?

If it is said that in 10 years, it will have three regular aviation ships of more than 60,000 tons, which is already the fastest equipment speed after the Cold War, but this is only a global horizontal comparison. After the end of the Cold War, the major powers have reduced the speed of upgrading their main battle equipment; There are even large quantities of old equipment that need to be phased out. Not to mention the rapid collapse of the former Soviet system, it is the US military itself. After the end of the Cold War, the total size of the army and navy has actually shrunk by at least a quarter. The R&D and production of front-line main battle equipment is also much worse than it was 40 years ago. For example, after 1955, the superpower navy also set a world record of five large aviation main battle platforms of more than 70,000 tons in service within five years; It has not been broken to this day. So in comparison, the speed of obtaining 3 ships in the last 10 years is not the fastest in the world. And there's clearly a bug in it. That is, 3 ships will be delivered in 10 years, which are actually produced separately by two shipyards in the north and south. The first two were the responsibility of the Northern Shipyard.

In September 12, the first ship was officially delivered and put into service; Roughly 5 years later, on April 6, 17, a second ship of the same type was launched, completely self-built. Since then, more than seven years have passed. So why didn't the Northern Shipyard produce the third 60,000-ton sliding platform? It stands to reason that it is more than enough to complete the rebuilding of a mature model in 7 years, even if it adds time for sea trials. If this is the case, then there are at least 3 60,000-ton sliding platforms with roughly the same performance, plus a new platform of more than 80,000 tons, a total of 4 ships, and the strategic deterrence will inevitably be better! The reason why there was no "warping" of the third ship was not that the production capacity of the northern shipyard could not be arranged, and in principle, there was no problem of insufficient budget. To a large extent, in fact, most people, from the bottom of their hearts, do not look down on the standard design of the 1970s, and by the 21st century, it has become "completely backward" mode of operation!

After all, compared with the 11 unconventional power super platforms that have been in service for a long time in the superpower navy, the existing 2 warped ones belong to the more "unbearable" existence the more you look at it! And in the basic technology, in fact, there is a huge generation gap. After all, the 2 glide platforms are not equipped with even the most basic fixed-wing AWACS aircraft; There is also a serious shortage of the total number of carriers, especially the huge shortcomings of low recovery efficiency in actual combat. Even from a purely theoretical point of view, there may be a big problem that two warheads combined cannot defeat one fully equipped Nimitz-class. Therefore, even if the two warheads "sailed" beyond the first island chain, they never got rid of the potential "wings" of land-based ultra-long-range ASBM systems and land-based bomber groups. That is to say, direct users never expected 2 ships to be in the depths of the ocean, completely relying on their own strength to PK with the Nimitz-class of the superpowers. Under this comprehensive mentality, it is reasonable to simply reproduce a 1143.5-class aircraft-carrying cruiser to "practice hands", and it is reasonable to find a feeling.

If the third self-production of this old platform with poor comprehensive performance is forcibly carried out, it will be obvious that it will not be able to say. Moreover, even this one used for training is the result of early disapproval. Since 2017, electromagnetic ejection and recovery technology has made earth-shattering progress on land, and has even led to a huge upgrade of vapor to electricity. In this case, it is even more unlikely to give an order for the 3rd sliding platform. In short, sharpening knives does not mistake woodcutters. In the future, the north and the south will work together to find back the time and scale effect synchronously, and then continue to carry it forward!
