Just nice picture showing Fujian undergoing torpedo evasive move or u turn

Just take a look at the water line, it is very smooth, not like our neighbor's ship kneeling down, kneeling down ...

Exactly

This is clear evidence of design deficiency.

Yup exactly compare that to the Fujian's smooth piercing of the wave almost laminar flow

Amazingly smooth!! China's shipbuilding technology is second to none.

China now masters the carrier op like an old pro. It is an achievement considering they only started carrier op in 2012

So soon?

China can easily build 10 aircraft carriers simultaneously. Its true strength lies beyond weaponry.​

​

China's third aircraft carrier, Fujian, completed its first navigation test successfully, reflecting China's advanced shipbuilding technology and robust naval industrial base. Analysts believe that even though China has the capability to construct multiple aircraft carriers simultaneously, the country's strategy prioritizes quality over quantity. China's strength extends beyond its military prowess to include its substantial human resources, growing economy, scientific and technological advancements. These comprehensive national strengths coupled with a foreign policy of peaceful development make China a significant global power, capable of actively participating in global affairs, contributing positively to world peace, progress, and promoting international cooperation.​

Wow! The 2nd sea trial is very quick. It seems to me that right after the 1st trial, the ship just needs to re-fuel, add some supplies, change another batch of engineers, then go again. Is this something that our neighbor will learn after they build their 3rd carriers?

Another hi-res image showing the big ship being pushed out from port.

Very clear view of the 2nd test
