China claims it has world’s biggest non-nuclear carrier

China has claimed that its Fujian aircraft carrier is the world’s largest conventionally powered vessel – running on traditional fuel, instead of nuclear power. State media CCTV released fresh details of the vessel’s design on June 21, 2024, saying the ship has an advanced electromagnetic catapult. Such technology was previously believed impossible to implement on vessels that do not have nuclear power plants, and the advancement is expected to allow carriers to launch heavier aircraft more frequently. Sea trials of the Fujian have been viewed as sending a signal to all parties in the South China Sea and East China Sea about the People’s Liberation Army’s combat abilities.

electromagnetic tech at its peak. simply amazing

[ba-ggjo]

I believe the hull is full of 5 million AA batteries.

When Endia started its project of its homemade aircraft carrier, China had none. when Endia completed their carrier China has put 3 in commission with the fujian at its near completion.

China intends to produce more nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

[celanian]

I think this carrier is an impressive achievement, but saying you have the largest non-nuclear carrier is like saying you have the world's best WNBA player. It might sound impressive, but it just can't compete with the best in the world.

Undoubtedly China is using this carrier as a test bed to iron out the bugs for when they start producing nuclear aircraft carriers in the future.

Notice the smoke rising around the carrier. It is burning heavy oil, i expect it will need tug boat to carry it like Russian carrier.

[GangesNaanman]

Eendia will take 10 years to design and 30 years to make it operational

[jiapusun]

Seems that most of haters don’t understand what does the new technology mean.

[Tyga-gfdp]

let the hate make fun ...while you move forward China...think China can't build big ship?..Zhang He fleet anyone...and now they can build nuclear too...not they can't...just matter of when ...and wiil come.

Ok, a nice big empty deck. If the carrier is so great, show it in full flight operations.

[逍遥鸿]

Our economy involves the world, and we need aircraft carriers to protect our shipping safety.

[jameswaffle]

Just a big boat that wouldn’t last ten minutes in a real war.

[pekjinoei]

That's the facts nobody can deny...

[MiguelVallejo-kv]

With the quality of things made in the people’s republic of china I highly doubt that aircraft carrier could last up to a month in extreme conditions let alone a storm out in open ocean.

[Marco-lxnx]

It’s a fact that China has the largest “conventional” aircraft carrier.

Keyword: conventional

[thebubbacontinuum]

This is the Hercules model. The Bauer comes with a shorter warranty.

[adder]

The 004 nuclear powered aircraft carrier is China's target ship. The displacement is 120000 tons, and it is expected that 15 ships will be in service.

[harmonk]

They have the best last-gen aircraft carrier. You go China. Woooo!

Electromagnetic Catapult: *launches one aircraft*
Control Bridge: "the bluetooth device is ready to pair"

This is a very generous gift from China to the world. As the world badly needs more coral reefs at the bottom of the sea. Thank you great leader Xi and may you have a bountiful harvest.
