In China: We are not going to abandon plans to bring the number of aircraft carriers to 6 by 2030

63

There was a report on Chinese television stating that China was not abandoning plans to bring the carrier fleet up to six aircraft carriers. At the moment, the PLA Navy includes two aircraft-carrying combat ships. This is the Liaoning acquired after the collapse of the USSR (initially Riga, then Varyag), and also built in China and recently transferred to the Shandong Type001A country’s Navy. At the same time, two more aircraft carriers (Type002 and Type 003) are being built at Chinese shipyards.

The report that the number of aircraft carriers in the naval forces of the PRC will reach six by 2030, is especially noteworthy, came amid statements from the United States about proposals to reduce the carrier fleet. On the eve of the "Military Review" published news material that Pentagon analysts are proposing to reduce the number of aircraft carriers from 11 to 9, and to “save money” get the latest frigates and robotic corvettes “to deter China and level the missile threat from it.” The analysts' report, it was announced, will soon be submitted to Congress.



It is believed that after a report from Chinese TV that China is not going to abandon plans to increase the number of aircraft carriers, congressmen will not accept any arguments about the "optimization" of the aircraft carrier fleet of the US Navy. Unless, of course, you take into account the likelihood of extraordinary circumstances.

Additionally, in China, it is reported that for the country's naval forces a total of 24 new Type 055 destroyers are planned to be built. The lead ship of the series (Nanchang) went to sea in the summer of 2018. These are the 4th generation missile destroyers, which in China are positioned as competitors to the American Zamvoltam. In the PLA Navy, for these destroyers, which have a displacement not far from the cruisers, a whole range of tasks is set up to strengthening aircraft carrier strike groups and performing anti-submarine operations.

      It’s not clear why this is necessary for China. How is it going to protect its aircraft carriers from 3 Sea Wolves and nearly two dozen Virginia project submarines? Moreover, hypersonic weapons are being developed. The same Americans will gradually abandon aircraft carriers. Their time has come to an end. The Chinese are preparing for the wars of the past, not the future, if they are placed on aircraft carriers.

        The Chinese have their own interests not only in coastal zones, in addition, the demonstration of the power of the fleet is a demonstration of economic power.

          Well, perhaps only as a demonstration of the power of the fleet, but we must take into account that the latest means of destruction make previously flawless aircraft carriers vulnerable.
          Tell me, will you be rude to a person of 190 cm in height and weighing 130 kg?

          Using a simple device like the same baseball bat. Here, for example, look at how Iran started and what it achieved. How will American aircraft carriers feel in the Persian Gulf now?


          The commander of the naval forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri, reported that sea-based missiles with a radius of action of 700 kilometers were put into service at the IRGC. The weapons system was fully developed in Iran.

          "But there were times when the range of our naval missiles did not exceed 45 kilometers, and Iran succeeded only with the help of American military instructors. Now the military engineering elite gives us a completely different weapon," he said.

        The Americans are not going to give up aircraft carriers, this is primarily a platform for aviation, UAVs in the future may be some kind of high-tech drones, etc. another thing is that it is a very expensive pleasure and not every country can allow it, and it’s problematic to build it, we need technology, etc. but as a class of ships it will exist, no one is going to abandon aviation. And if we had the money, technology and capacity .... we would have built at least the same 23000 Storm, but alas, desires do not always correspond to the possibilities.

          It’s not funny. How many times did the allies of the Americans go through their anti-submarine defenses in the exercises? The same Skorpen and Gotland. But what about the NPL, they (the Americans) can’t detect our MAPL. especially since the Chinese MAPLs say frankly not particularly impressive. Aircraft carriers are good for expeditionary wars with a weak enemy like Syria, and in a battle with an enemy like the United States these are promising mass graves.
          how can rockets control the ocean?

          Missiles cannot control the ocean in any way, but in the event of war they will not allow the enemy aircraft carriers to control the ocean, drowning them and thereby less than leveling the chances of success.
          controversial statement ... try to justify!

          They are too vulnerable for hypersonic weapons, anti-ship anti-ship missiles, and torpedoes, including for such as Poseidon. And where it is thinly torn.
          justify, please.

          The vulnerability of aircraft carriers in the current environment is obvious and you should not rely on them in the future.

          China is heavily dependent on maritime trade. About 80% of China's shipping is carried out in the Indo-Pacific region. In the event of a conflict, the United States can easily stop China's maritime trade. The aircraft carrier navy allows China to establish a strong presence in the oceans, secure its trade routes and minimize the threat of a blockade by the United States.

          I agree completely. There are two development options, in the conditions of robotization:
          - The capitalist path is a reduction in the population, because so many people have nowhere to build on, which means it threatens riots and it is necessary to reduce the population. What actually happens.
          -Socialist - where, under the same conditions, the opportunity is created to create and create, to set global goals, like space exploration, etc.

    Since China does not have allies, they will be replaced by aircraft carrier groups to protect artificial islands and trade routes, overlapping of which could weaken China.
