Chapter 1020 Millennium National Day Gift
September 30th.
Yangcheng Shipyard.
Colorful flags can be seen flying everywhere, and the bright five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind.
The weather is sunny today, the sky is blue, the sky is like clouds, and the water and sky are the same color.
On the pier, the officers and soldiers lined up. Captain Zhang Zhaozhong stood at the front of the line. The two deputy captains, political commissar, and chief of staff were one position behind Zhang Zhaozhong.
The aircraft carrier is already full of carrier-based aircraft and helicopters!
The tens of millions of parts and components of the "Liao Ship" are all made of domestic products, and are completely independently designed, constructed and supported.
The completion of the Liao Ship marks that China has the ability to independently develop modern medium-sized aircraft carriers. It also marks that China has reached a world-class level in aircraft carrier development, second only to the United States.
The hull number '17' is very clear, and the huge body of the aircraft carrier makes people clearly feel this steel behemoth.
On the ship, colorful flags fluttered in the wind, and the national flag, party flag, and military flag fluttered in the wind.
More than 3,000 crew members lined up there in order, in addition to front-line construction workers, technicians, and the leadership of the Yangcheng Shipyard.
On the temporary stage, the ‘Type 002 aircraft carrier commissioning ceremony’ was very conspicuous.
The military band played a cheerful welcome song.
In the cheerful welcome song, the leaders accompanied by Liu Tao came in a special car.
There was warm applause.
The whole scene looked grand, festive and solemn.
As the National Day is approaching, the Type 002 aircraft carrier is commissioned as a gift for the National Day.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the auspicious time has arrived and the handover ceremony begins.
Even though it was not the first time for Liu Tao to see the Type 002 aircraft carrier, when he saw it again, he still couldn't help but marvel. It was a real steel behemoth. It was so huge that it shocked people's hearts.
Don't look at the CCTV footage. It looks like the aircraft carrier is just like a fishing boat. The real aircraft carrier is a real steel behemoth, a behemoth.
Looking at today, many senior military generals and leaders came here to participate in the commissioning ceremony of the Type 002 aircraft carrier, not just the navy.
After all, the aircraft carrier is the most important piece of equipment in the naval equipment sequence and is the core force of naval operations.
As the largest warship in China at present, the Type 002 aircraft carrier is enough to attract any attention from the military, not just from the navy.
The army, navy and air force all attach great importance to the Type 002 aircraft carrier.
Even many strategies and tactics will be adjusted due to the entry into service of the Type 002 aircraft carrier.
First, the leader gave a speech. The leader spoke highly of the Type 002 aircraft carrier, believing that it is an important milestone in the history of the development of the Chinese navy and a milestone in the Chinese shipbuilding industry. The leader hopes that the fleet officers and soldiers will live up to the country's trust and the people's expectations and perform as soon as possible. The combat effectiveness of the Type 002 aircraft carrier will form an aircraft carrier formation combat effectiveness with the Type 002 aircraft carrier as the core as soon as possible.
The applause was extremely warm. The delivery of a new navy ship has never been so grand!
The leader continued: "This is a great historical moment. From the Type 001 light aircraft carrier to the Type 002 aircraft carrier, this is a huge leap. It reflects our country's aircraft carrier development capabilities and the enhancement of our country's aircraft carrier industry. It also represents that from this moment on, Our country has officially entered the "dual aircraft carrier era". The Type 002 aircraft carrier is not only the world's first-class aircraft carrier, but also It is said to be one of the most advanced conventionally powered aircraft carriers! From now on, our navy is about to enter a new stage of development. We will truly go to the open sea and protect our motherland's maritime borders and interests. Only when our navy is strong can others. Don’t dare to invade our territory!” When the leader said this, many old navy soldiers at the scene couldn’t help but burst into tears.
They have personally experienced and witnessed the difficulties in developing the navy.
A century-old navy, this is not just talk.
How difficult it is for the Chinese Navy to reach this point, they know better than anyone else!
Now, the Chinese Navy not only has various types of advanced warships, but also has a world-class aircraft carrier.
Prior to this, the Type 001 light aircraft carrier had already made the Navy feel like celebrating the New Year, and now that the Type 002 aircraft carrier is in service, the Navy can hold its head high.
Now, entering the "dual aircraft carrier era", the Chinese Navy is no longer the world's second-rate navy, but the world's first-rate navy.
Looking around the world, the Chinese Navy ranks third in the world after the U.S. Navy and the Polar Bear Navy!
The Chinese Navy is not as good as the Polar Bear Navy, and only underwater nuclear submarines are left.
However, as the Type 093 nuclear submarine and Type 094 nuclear submarine are about to enter service, China has reached the world's leading level in terms of nuclear submarine performance, and the only difference is in its inventory.
In terms of inventory, it is nothing more than a matter of time.
At the Yangcheng Shipyard, a Type 093 nuclear submarine and a Type 094 nuclear submarine are being built at the same time; at the Beibu Gulf Shipyard, a Type 093 nuclear submarine and a Type 094 nuclear submarine are also being built at the same time.
Similarly, at the Bohai Shipyard, there is also a Type 093 nuclear submarine and a Type 094 nuclear submarine under construction.
The total construction period of the first Type 093 nuclear submarine and Type 094 nuclear submarine will take a full nine years. That is because it is necessary to train workers and establish supporting factories, which is almost from scratch.
Starting from the second ship, the total construction period will only take five or six years to complete.
In a few years, China will surpass the Polar Bear Navy in terms of nuclear submarines, becoming the second most powerful navy in the world.
As for aircraft carriers, although the Type 002 aircraft carrier is a medium-sized aircraft carrier, not a large aircraft carrier, it is not weak if it is head-on with a large aircraft carrier, because the performance of the Type 002 aircraft carrier's J-11C carrier-based aircraft is more advanced than the US F/A18 'Hornet' carrier-based aircraft.
In the future, Americans will regret not upgrading the F14 'Panda' carrier-based aircraft.
The body of the F14 'Panda' carrier-based aircraft is old, and the avionics system has not kept up with the times!
At its doorstep, the Chinese Navy is not afraid of any navy!
Then Liu Tao gave a speech. As the chief designer of the Type 002 aircraft carrier and the chief designer of the Type 001 aircraft carrier, Liu Tao has the title of 'Father of Aircraft Carriers'. There are many titles like this, and Liu Tao can't count them with both hands.
Liu Tao said confidently that the performance of the Type 002 aircraft carrier is absolutely at the world's advanced level, and the Type 002 aircraft carrier is not the end of the Chinese aircraft carrier, but just the starting point!
Liu Tao revealed that China will develop large aircraft carriers in the next step, and it may even be a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. He also talked about electromagnetic catapults, saying that electromagnetic catapults are more advanced than steam catapults.
This is Liu Tao's smokescreen, further urging Britain and France to invest more money in aircraft carriers, and also helping the US military so that the US military can ask for more military spending.
It is obviously unrealistic to let the Americans develop well, and they will think about action when they are too quiet!
If we don't find something for the Americans to do, the Americans will always stare at the other side of the Pacific, which is not good.
Afghanistan is still waiting for the Americans to spend money, and Iraq or Libya is also waiting for the Americans to burn money. If we do it for another 20 years, and each place burns two trillion US dollars, it will be great.
It just so happens that the current situation is very good for George Walker. Oil, military industry, etc. are all behind George Walker to spend money.
