*At this pace of building China will build another carrier with in 3 years.*

it left its dockside moorings yesterday and this morning May First set sail under its own power in earnest

[captives]

And China is building 2 aircraft carriers at the same time now, might be nuclear-powered.

Fantastic addition to the channel.

This is a monumental achievement for China, and one I hope the world can appreciate. Not even the Soviet Union contended with the United States in the construction of aircraft carriers. The last time we had an opponent in this regard was Imperial Japan.

today is the birthday of Matsu, which is the most appropriate date for Fujian to sail lol

Waiting for 4th China aircraft carrier.

A very nice looking vessel, and a credit to the Chinese designers and engineers. Lets hope the sea trials are a resounding success, and provide the information the PLAN needs for the next carrier. If the need arose I suspect the commissioning might be shortened somewhat, maybe considerably.

Now Fujian is the largest warship （80000+ tons）in Asia and heavier than Yamato （72812 tons） which is built 80 years ago.
Probably the second large warship in the world. China use metric tons instead of short tons，so Fujian is more than 88000+ short tons）may larger than all Nimitz class and only smaller than Ford class.

It's stil quite close to the PLAN anniversary. Actually, it is more significant symbolically to sail 1 day before May 1 which is worldwide Labor Day, which is also usually the golden week for China. This holiday is one of the most significant for the PRC which is still a socialist country. The celebration of the International Worker with the launch of his/her most staunchest defender, a new modern carrier should not be lost to people.

004 under construction by Jiangnan Shipyard is called Taiwan?😉

[majesticflyingbrick]

they finally added all the windows. looked kinda weird before

[lawrencecheong]

Viva! Viva! Viva! Fujian! The world awaits you.

The Fujian aircraft carrier features an integrated mast make it look beautiful, like the type 055

[nostradamus]

The 1st J-15 catapault launch will go viral. It could happen sooner than we think. Perhaps in the 2nd sea trial.

[Aceks]

China will have the largest navy 5 to 10 years from now.

Pride for all Chinese everywhere on this earth. Sun Yat Sen is smiling up there to see the advances made by Chinese.

BON VOYAGE FUJIAN.
Wish China plenty of success😊
