2016, the Chinese Navy will have three aircraft carriers

This title appears to be very touching, but not science fiction. China wants to rise and large development must include a strong naval force, including People's Liberation Army, the carrier is an important part of which is essential. Although China has no aircraft carriers experience, but only have to go to training experience, otherwise it can only "on paper" and "illusion."

Why does China have to have three aircraft carriers? Truth is not complicated, one of three major Chinese naval fleet, the North Sea, the East China Sea and South China Sea Fleet, each has a flagship aircraft carrier fleet is not accident, as we have to cross the first island chain, the second island chain, the aircraft carrier is worthy of heavy weapon; in preparation for military struggle very serious situation, we can not expect the North Sea Fleet to the South China Sea Fleet's aircraft carrier personnel training, after all, is new to the North Sea Fleet, therefore, each in his own aircraft carrier fleet self-taught may be more The reality, another can Biyi Bi, race a race to see who's fighting the formation of the fastest. Second, the situation is limited by the ocean carrier to increase the demand for urgent degree. South China Sea Fleet take control of the entire South China Sea, the East China Sea Fleet need to strengthen the control of the Japanese ambition, the North Sea Fleet to land and the need to guard Gyeonggi major responsibility on Japan and other countries of strategic deterrence, the military prepared to intervene if there will be no aircraft carriers " unsafe and beyond the reach of "thoughts and feelings. Third, the embarrassment of naval aviation aircraft carrier needs greater demand for carrier-based naval air force includes two major categories of air and land-based air force, which, carrier aviation is the main strategy for the implementation of the marine air strike force, but now China's ship-borne air force is also limited to helicopter, which compared with the fixed-wing aircraft of its combat capabilities and integrated combat is quite different; In addition, the lack of the necessary carrier-based air forces, naval air forces and air force makes air force function is difficult to sort out, although some division of labor, but also overlap with each other and prevarication, which combat effectiveness will be a very adverse impact; only aircraft equipped with the naval air force that will be the real menace get rid of the great dependence on the land, therefore, in terms of the three fleets, carriers of the arrival of their common voice and aspiration.

What China can also have three aircraft carriers it? What sources? It's not impossible fantasy. Obviously, the first one is being converted from sea trials of the "Kuznetsov" aircraft carrier, and its service is short-term thing, although it is "training aircraft" as an excuse the first, but what is the fighting aircraft carrier, how to train aircraft carrier, and no clear boundaries, only to quickly combat aircraft into combat that is, that the position and "Zheng He" training ship is different. The second source of three very obvious that the self-built aircraft carrier. Meanwhile the construction of two aircraft carrier with the level of Chinese military weapons and equipment consistent with the construction of customary and conventional, as "Chinese Aegis" and "Russian type Aegis", are both built and has launched two at the same time, including the purchase of Russian-made " Modern-class "destroyers, too, are 22 matching purchase and equipment, the benefits of doing so is able to rapidly develop combat, and combat the formation of an effective interface; from an economic and cost perspective, R & D aircraft carrier itself is not easy the same level as the construction of an only too little, the other two can also be built to reduce the construction of a single vessel construction and maintenance costs; from experimental point of view, two U.S. aircraft carriers can be compared simultaneously test found the problem, help the second generation of aircraft carriers to improve and optimize. From the consumer point of view, the construction of aircraft carriers naturally strong pull of employment, increased domestic demand, which itself is just a way to enhance GDP.

The third problem is how should these three carriers to deploy it? Recommended "Kuznetsov" deployed in the North Sea Fleet, the North Sea Fleet, after all, this area gives a relatively small number of the mission, after all, the threat of the former Soviet Union has ceased to exist; addition of two new aircraft carriers made in the East China Sea and South China Sea Fleet deployment, which is indisputable fact that, after all, so here sits in the carrier needs, the U.S. aircraft carrier cruising the Western Pacific and the Japanese standard of service boats aircraft carrier, to the increasing pressure on the East China Sea Fleet, South China Sea in the face of the siege pack of wolves, it is huge pressure, after all, South China Sea is the most backward past a fleet, and now by leaps and bounds to catch up with the natural need to move generous.

The reason for making a 2016, but also because the construction of China-made aircraft carrier or a cycle, but objectively speaking, that is, carrier 2016 may be a year of service, rather than fighting in formation, aircraft carriers, after all, is not proficient in day and night can cause, particularly never experienced a major Chinese naval modernization, after all, to "cross the river by feeling the stones", or even to pay a heavy price.
