China's Type 004 Nuclear Powered | Most Dangerous Aircraft Carrier

According to many sources, China expects to address this issue with its type 004 carrier by launching it with a nuclear propulsion system. This will surely help the Chinese naval forces carry out diverse maritime operations, such as strike missions, air defense, surveillance, and amphibious warfare, on a global scale.

American Think Tanks love this analyst. Telling them what they want to hear!

There are questions regarding the available power for the catapult given the limited engine power output, also the boat can’t maintain the speed required for aircraft takeoff…. At the moment……

So colored is the "analysis", believe this "expert" at your own peril.

Fujian aircraft carrier has more advanced features than US ford carrier. Fujian EML is more advanced than US. Don’t bullshit your comment on US ones.

If Type 004 still has 2 aircraft elevators and 3 catapults like Type 003 it will still have a slower sortie rate than either a Ford or a Nimitz class supercarrier. On the other hand J-15 is the largest naval aircraft. So by footprint for every 2 J-15, 3 - 4 F-18E/F can be carried instead; or for every 3 J-15s, an equivalent of 5 - 6 F-18C/D or F-35C can be carried. Ergo the total number of aircraft carried are NOT the same.

10 Nimitz carriers, 1 Ford class vs 1 real Chinese carrier
with a bunch of Tonka toy aircraft. America is shaking in its boots.
