From what can be seen in satellite imagery The War Zone has obtained from Planet Labs, the new large deck ship is around 656 feet (200 meters) long and some 131 feet (40 meters) at its widest. It looks to have a larger main island on the right side of the center of the deck, as well as a smaller one further toward the bow.

In speaking with The War Zone, Shugart said there are also what might be exhaust stacks on the right side of the deck toward the stern. He further highlighted what looks to be an angular mast structure on top of the main island of a kind often seen in warships as a mount for radars and other sensors.

Overall, the ship’s size and what can be seen of its configuration are in line, at least in broad strokes, with many existing light aircraft carriers and big deck amphibious assault ships, such as Japan’s Hyuga class and China’s own Type 075.

Nothing new from the tiongs. Ideas all copy from US.

US Navy has the LHA mini carrier, mostly for carry helicopters and the F-35.

They already figured out to send spaceship to mars, build one carrier should be small case.

Yeah that one ish more interesting.
Probably copy of thish.



From wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Savannah_(LCS-28)

"Even-numbered US Navy littoral combat ships are built using the Independence-class trimaran design, while odd-numbered ships are based on a competing design, the conventional monohull Freedom-class littoral combat ship."

R&D take up more than 50% of the budget

imagine can just copy, $ more well spend

4th carrier almost finishing ya. 1mth ago still in drydock, so fast on water le.

China can build 1 new carrier a year, will have sufficient to effectively blockade TW by 2030.

In a way tiongs still have to acknowledge US design is still more superior.

I see them trying to copy the B-2, or even the angled deck of their aircraft carrier.

Not the 飞机场 I expected but well, nice to know.
