Chinese Carrier 003 working up on Sea Trials
We've continually underestimated the speed of the Chinese Navy Buildup
The pacing indicator on China's readiness to move on Taiwan is having three available carriers. One to be at the top end of Taiwan, one at the bottom end to enable blockade, with one in reserve. Carrier 003, th “Fujian” very possibly FOC (Fully Operational Capable) this year if the PLAN hurries.
Jiangan Shipyard is working on Carrier 004 now. 004 is nuclear powered. Jiangnan is right next door to ZPMC in Shanghai - the leading maker of container cranes in the world.
