[BITList] China's Aircraft carrier

[franka]

just speculation but they do look as if they have a bit of oz design 
ideas in them, don't see any lifts though which would make maintenance 
pretty awkward , should they decide to build could be an interesting excise
frank



    These aircraft carriers look formidable and of ultra modern design.
    There are reports the 1st Chinese aircraft carrier is under
    construction and could enter service around 2015 or earlier.

    THIS IS QUANTUM LEAP ABOVE ANYTHING WE HAVE ON THE DRAWING BOARD.
    THEY HAVETHOUGHT " OUTSIDE THE BOX " ON THIS ONE. BETTER SPEED,
    LARGER CAPACITY, MUCH MORE STABLE, ETC. DEFINITELY A " BLUE-WATER "
    LONG REACH VESSEL.
    PLUS THEY CAN SERVICE THEIR NUKE SUB FLEET IN-BETWEEN THE TWIN HULLS
    ( SIGHT UNSEEN ) OR EVEN LAUNCH AMPHIBIOUS OPPS FROM SAME. IT WILL
    BE LAUNCHED IN HALF THE TIME IT TAKES THE USA AT JUST ONE-THIRD THE
    COST. ADD THE NEW CHINESE STEALTH FIGHTER BOMBER ( NAVAL VERSION
    ALREADY FLIGHT TESTING ) IN THE MIX AND YOU HAVE THE MAKINGS OF A
    FORMIDABLE WEAPONS SYSTEM INDEED..
    ALSO LOOK AT THAT EXTRA ''PARKING AND READINESS'' STATION BETWEEN
    BOTH HULLSTRUCTURES.. AND OF COURSE THE LAUNCHING AND LANDING
    CAPABILITIES FROM THE UTILISATION OF TWIN FLIGHT DECKS AT ONCE


          *SOME THOUGHT SHOULD BE GIVEN TO ADVISING YOUR GRANDCHILDREN
          TO LEARN TO SPEAK MANDARIN ( FORGET SPANISH ). *


          *SIX OF THESE VESSELS ( TWO PACIFIC, TWO ATLANTIC, ONE INDIAN
          OCEAN AND ONE MED SEA ) WOULD BE A PRETTY GOOD DIPLOMATIC "
          BIG STICK ". *


          *NOTE : THE CHINESE ARE ALREADY DRILLING FOR OIL OFF CUBA .
          BRAZIL AND VENEZUELA .
          CAN THEY BUILD A FLEET OF THESE THINGS ???

          A FEW FACTS: THE CHINESE HAVE COMPLETED THE WORLD'S BIGGEST
          DAM ( THREE GORGES ),
          THE WORLD'S LONGEST OVER-WATER BRIDGE ( 65 TIMES AS MUCH STEEL
          AS IN THE EIFFEL TOWER ).
          CONSTRUCTED A 15,000' HIGH RAILROAD INTO TIBET (ALL CONSIDERED
          MAJOR ENGINEERING FEATS).

          THEY ARE THE ONLY NATION OTHER THAN RUSSIA THAT CAN LAUNCH MEN
          INTO OUTER SPACE ( OUR CAPABILITY ENDS THIS MONTH )*


          *
          THEY HAVE ALSO SHOT DOWN A SURVEILLANCE SATELLITE ( ONE OF
          THEIR OWN ) FROM THE GROUND. PLUS THEY " OWN OUR ASS " IN THE
          INTERNATIONAL DEBT GAME.

          CHINA'S NEW A/C CARRIER COULD BE TWICE AS FAST AS ANYTHING WE
          HAVE, PLUS THE STABILITY OF A CATAMARAN TYPE HULL WILL GREATLY
          REDUCE THE PITCHING, YAWING AND SWAYING COMMON TO OUR PRESENT
          DESIGNS.*
