July 27, Defense Ministry spokesman's remarks sparked a burst of waves, beat the dock where the "Kuznetsov" was. Day, the spokesman announced that China is now using an aircraft carrier platform used to transform, for research testing and training. This aircraft carrier is the "Kuznetsov" was.
Complete removal of the scaffolding Kuznetsov
Although the Defense Ministry spokesman has repeatedly stressed the "Kuznetsov" was out to sea trial a specific time yet, "according to the progress of the project to determine," but outside speculation for this point in time has never stopped. Sea trial date from July 1, the initial guess of the August 1 Army Day, the latest argument is to give 62 as a National Day gift.
In recent days, the aircraft carrier deck are continuously reduced, and wore dark blue uniforms, wearing a white hat who continued to increase, in uniform lined up on the deck or distributed queue situation continued to increase, these people should be served on the future aircraft carrier The sailors who, in the transformation of the carrier at the same time training for sea trials as early as possible. July 31 17 am, there are two hundred people lined up in uniform on the deck, about half an hour after the dissolution. A source close to the military authorities told reporters that he heard the news of sea trials in August, but not necessarily the day on August 1, may also be in late.
In addition to the mysterious sea trial date, China's first aircraft carrier captain is a mystery candidate. July 27 afternoon, in the face of the first Chinese carrier to determine whether the candidates questioning the captain, the Defense Ministry spokesman, said Geng Yansheng responded, "As for the future aircraft carrier captain's choice, I think, when we know."
The authorities also said that the appointment system is not a secret in the Navy, in March this year a lot of people already know, "Li Yan did the first aircraft carrier captain's first choice, this is no doubt." "Li Yan and Another six or seven in 2008, when an internal study into the Guangzhou Naval Academy, arrived in Dalian in December 2010, is now responsible for carrier related work has already begun. "The authorities introduced China's first aircraft carrier is currently vested in the direct jurisdiction of the Navy Command, action should be reported to the Central Military Commission approval levels are now at the division level, Li Xiaoyan, now rank is colonel. "Aircraft carrier battle groups which are not yet in service to the fleet, the future of the East China Sea, North Sea or the South China Sea Fleet of the three possibilities exist." The source said.
August 1987, the Central Military Commission in Guangzhou opened the first session of the Naval Academy is the only term "pilot captain course." The class started a total of 10 participants, from the North Sea, the East China Sea, South China Sea Fleet Air Force and three Navy Flight School, a fighter pilot, a bomber pilot, but also transport pilot, flight time per person varies. One of them students learn more difficult, and later had to return to the original units, and finally graduated from the nine people, including Li Xiaoyan and Bo Yaoping.
Li Xiaoyan and Bo Yaoping from the "pilot captain course" of development experience after graduation is very similar, the two served as captain of frigate, destroyer captain and other positions, has also been to Russia Kuznetsov Naval Command College.
Public information, July 1961, Li Yan was born in Changchun, in July 1979 by the Air Force cadet to enter the second air test prep school. In August 1987 in Guangzhou Naval Academy, "the pilot captain course" before, Li Yan has served as the flight squadron leader. After graduation, Li Xiaoyan, the South China Sea Fleet destroyers assigned to the second detachment, he has been "Nanning" destroyer captain, deputy trainee, "Nanchang" Vice-captain of the destroyer; during which former "Jiangmen" frigate captain, and served as "Shenzhen" destroyer ship long.
Ready to go Kuznetsov aircraft carrier
In 2000, when he was "Shenzhen" trainee ship captain Li Xiaoyan and his comrades realized the Chinese naval fleet for the first time and through the three oceans (Pacific, Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean), for the first time crossing the Indian Ocean, the first visit to the African continent, the first break Cape of Good Hope off the record.
According to "China's Navy," reported in May 2007, the ninth when Ren Nanhai Fleet destroyer detachment of Li Xiaoyan, deputy chief of detachment went to Singapore to attend the second session of the Western Pacific Naval Symposium and the Fourth of multilateral maritime exercises and tactical training center online training. There were 12 countries participated in the exercise, as the Chinese Li Yan participating ship commanders.
Another familiar and Li Xiaoyan, military sources told the newspaper that in his recollection, Lee is very smart, capable, clear-headed of doing things, "the naval officer I know, there's no more appropriate than he, and the other a very suitable Baiyao Ping is currently the vice president of the Dalian Naval, is responsible for training new seedling for the future aircraft carrier fleet reserve personnel. "
Carrier is only the beginning, after which a ship can withstand wind and rain to build a powerful navy task it? Or maybe we will throw in too much hope on the ship, but after all, to go beyond it?
Bolt from the blue: Kuznetsov aircraft carrier deployment of the South China Sea overbearing!
Kuznetsov from the 27 Department of Defense broke the news to be true after the body has always been of the world's attention, Japan protested to China, and asked the Chinese military transparency, Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, the role of the purpose of their deployment needs to be reported, users questioned said Japan asked the Chinese what to do this and that?
The United States has invited so many Japanese aircraft carrier might not be what the United States? Philippines and Vietnam are also discussing joint ASEAN South China Sea naval commander, expressed dissatisfaction with the South China Sea against China at a glance, and want to snatch the sovereignty of the South China Sea, Kuznetsov current super awe, but one known why eighty-one sea trial, the end is not released? Could it not be once again under threat and trials? China before the fear of the wolf tiger scared it is no wonder, after all, many countries are now N provocation to China, the Chinese eleven deal possible, but other countries hold together weisha able to cope with China's hard to say come, after all, the power of solidarity is great.
"Kuznetsov" Alterations, in the original hull, main deck and internal structure, based on the new design, so, after the success of reconstruction in tile ship, aircraft developed by China itself only on three issues left suspense - hull design, special steel and catapults. Hull design is estimated to have solved the problem of domestic United States, Spain and other software vendors ship design software; legend Angang, Baosteel's special steel production capacity of all; not get the catapult. In this way, China can at least in the design, build aircraft carriers Ski Jump.
According to Defense Ministry spokesman said 27 statement, the Chinese aircraft carrier "Kuznetsov" will be water trials, foreign media commented constantly, Japan exaggerated this incident is very sensitive, and has repeatedly demanded that China use and attachment of a transparent carrier, recently more Japanese official Executive press statement, worried that China's aircraft carrier Kuznetsov aircraft carrier and said China should make the information more "transparent." Yukio Ueno branch has also said: "China should be included to maintain the carrier's specific purpose and future construction plans, including all sorts of information be made public, expects China to further enhance its military transparency." Japan actually lies out of this absurd language, can be described as is a deliberate, sinister. China's strong stimulus can be described as the largest in Japan, which are all afraid of our naval power, but some fear that the Chinese carrier to deploy the Diaoyu Islands only.
Ready to go Kuznetsov aircraft carrier
Suspect aircraft equipment
Recently, foreign media coverage of the carrier in Dalian, "Kuznetsov", French for late reporters has combed the reports found, although it stopped in Dalian, but still dressed - layer of mystery, a lot of details not known.
To this end, according to the United States and British aircraft carrier case, our guess our carrier-based aircraft carrier battle groups and the preparation. After our first service in the main fighter-type aircraft carrier, is likely to be a domestic aircraft, although the Chinese military has not officially announced the names of the fighters, but said that the civil aircraft as "F-15."
Although the carrier can throw a lot of air power, but the mother ship itself, weak defense, so the need for other ships, including surface and underwater vessels to provide protection. So with a battle group will have a guided missile destroyers, frigates, submarines and supply ships, etc.
Aircraft carrier named
"Tianjin", or as my carrier name
"Kuznetsov," the new name of the suspect enough into the top ten this year, "Mao Zedong", "Deng Xiaoping", "Sun", "Shi Lang" "Beijing" have become the most sought-name online.
But in the end who gets so far is a mystery. According to the newspaper of the "naval vessels named Bill," the analysis, and naval experts in public some of the position, the newspaper speculation that more than one name can be ruled out, and "Tianjin" foreign ship may become a ship's name.
Experts speculate that municipalities' children face big "
Li Jie are a few military experts speculated that: "According to the tradition of the past, the Navy, ships named after the mountains more, but the larger well-known people have been called off, and I could not estimate Mountain Assembly; another one is rivers named, 'the Yangtze River Road' seems to lack courage. front also said called 'Mao Zedong', 'Sun Yat-sen Road', this is not entirely impossible, but the possibility is not too large. "
In addition to these types, Li Jie, also revealed a possibility: "It might be named with the name of municipalities, this is a choice, but have not set."
In the Li Jie's proposal, this reporter found that four municipalities, Tianjin and is closely related to modern Chinese navy. Qing Dynasty established the Northern Navy of China established in the late Qing Dynasty, the first naval fleet modernization, and Tianjin, a northern naval base into a major military when their main ship, "given away", "Chen-yuan," "Jackie far" are sea in the Taku received.
Naming is also subject to "provision"
Public information, our Navy in November 18, 1978 release, "Navy named Bill," provided in the regulations of the various organs of the ship's name, naming rules and regulations.
July 10, 1986, China's Navy, "Naval ships named Bill" has to be supplemented modified to require ships and foreign ships and ship their own name and to distinguish both of rational, easy to remember, clear pronunciation, names, loud with dignity and many other requirements.
Specific provisions in the show named: destroyers, frigates are named after large and medium-sized cities, destroyer may be more familiar, such as the Gulf of Aden to escort the two perform the task of "Wuhan" ship and "Zhoushan" ship and so on.
To avoid duplicate phenomenon ship name, ship name naming China Sea region is divided; the North Sea, South China Sea, the East China Sea Fleet ships three names to place names within their respective areas.
Chinese navy ships do not always name names, but there are exceptions to two ships that belong to the Dalian Naval Academy, and Zheng number Shichang training ship. Which number 81 Zheng, Ocean sailing training ship, to commemorate the great Chinese navigator Zheng He is named, numbered 82 of Sai comprehensive training ship, Ocean, it is to commemorate the Sino-Japanese naval battle in the heroic sacrifice Deng Shichang named a national hero.
Previously, when a reporter at the press conference that the Taiwan Affairs Office of Taiwan correspondent of the "Kuznetsov" was named to the concerns, "Shi Lang" immediately erased from the named possibilities.
"Shi Lang" is a famous Qing Dynasty, 1681 to recover Taiwan. Therefore, the Taiwan side to make this read too much, and I believe will take this into account relevant aspects.
The 1980s, "Kuznetsov" was Nicholas in Ukraine by the Soviet military Aliyev Black Sea shipyard. December 25, 1991, announced the dissolution of the Soviet Union, has completed construction of 68%, Ukraine unable to build, decided to auction. In 1998, a company in Macau for $ 20 million bought the "Kuznetsov" was. In July 1999, the tug of traction, "Kuznetsov" was leaving the Black Sea Shipyard, slowly embarked on a long voyage to China.
In the meantime, many times by the then Turkish government to block, allow, "Kuznetsov" through the Bosporus Strait, the Chinese government's efforts to negotiate more than a year after, was able to pass. After reaching the Aegean Sea, are also affected by the unprecedented turmoil in international waters. After the escape, through the Strait of Gibraltar, the Atlantic Ocean, around Africa's Cape of Good Hope, through the Straits of Malacca. After four years of twists and turns, and finally on March 3, 2002 arrived in Dalian, China, Hong Kong.
At this point the "Kuznetsov" was just a rusting steel shell: all weapons, electronic systems have been dismantled or destroyed. Full of people's minds, "Kuznetsov" resurrection of the expectations, but watched it on the pier wind and rain. The other is 3 years. April 26, 2005 morning, "Kuznetsov" in a large number of tugs escorted by being slowly dragged into the Dalian shipyard not far from the first workshop in 2003 completed the 30-ton dock, started exciting large conversion process.
Since 1988, the water now, "Kuznetsov" has gone through 22 years of ups and downs, its twists and turns through the decades China has become a true portrayal of the carrier seeking.
The data can be seen from the Soviet Union, "Kuznetsov" was a large conventional-powered aircraft carrier. Shape majestic, a typical Soviet-style ships. It to 4 with 4 sets of steam turbine-powered steam boiler, 4 double rudder propeller shaft 4 advance. Use Ski Jump off the bow deck, with four ships landed in central block emergency stop cord and a block. Island-style building located on the bridge deck on the right flight, before and after each one deck / hangar lift.
On the current situation, "Kuznetsov" has with the best qualifications. In fact, China bought from Ukraine, "Kuznetsov" aircraft carrier, it is a heavy armor with a large hull, neither engine nor electrical facilities or propulsion. Ultimately, the Chinese have suffered badly from the Black Sea coast of this large-scale hull drag the Dalian Port, the fully renovated conversion. Although highly controversial from the beginning of the purchase, but behind this so-called transformation of time and effort is reflected in the development of China's aircraft carrier in the Navy sought to "good and steady" way of thinking. Through the modification, we still can not afford to build a large surface ships in the case, you can gain experience, test, training, can also promote industrial capacity, technology. Therefore, many countries in the development of aircraft carriers have gone through such a path starting from the modification, which is based on the decision of China's national conditions.
China's "Kuznetsov"
Use of waste as a carrier platform for transformation of scientific research and training of aircraft carrier, "Kuznetsov" was equipped on the advanced technology, attract a lot of attention.
National Defense University professor Zhang Zhaozhong introduction, an aircraft carrier looks like a ship, but in fact need to tens of thousands of scientific research, technical cooperation department and plant, which China is a huge challenge. China's use of Ukrainian scrap the aircraft carrier converted aircraft carrier, one of the aims is modified, to find out the carrier's technical approach, to see whether and realize some of the aircraft carrier design and construction techniques, and then apply these techniques to the design of possible future aircraft carrier and construction.
Experts said that the self-built aircraft carrier, the platform is not difficult, but the carrier of steel and other materials are very demanding. Such as the shell plate, in the water under great pressure, and if the steel deck shall be made of large pieces of high strength steel welding, but also can withstand temperatures up to thousands of degrees Celsius, such as jets of flame, requiring even higher . At present, China can not produce their own cable on the deck of the block (to help slow landing aircraft) used by the steel block to ask for strength to withstand hundreds of tons, need to have a certain degree of flexibility and rigidity, strength, hardness, this steel is currently only imported.
In addition, the modern aircraft carrier is a high-tech in a sea of "giant", requires a lot of new knowledge, new technologies, new materials, which depends on the country to support. Transformation of China's first aircraft carrier as to the construction of the "Kuznetsov" was, it needs a variety of technical capacity is very high. Among them, the aircraft carrier technology and adaptation of technology, vessels and planes are crucial. Mechanization in China is still in the process of transition to information technology, a lot of work need to start from scratch, but through hard work, many issues have been cracked, a number of mature advanced technologies applied. To build an aircraft carrier to adapt to modern times, we have a long way to go.
National Defense University military expert, at present, "Kuznetsov" was that with conventional systems such as radar systems, air defense systems, such systems have been set out basic equipment, as carrier-based aircraft, it should be is -15 F and Su-33. "Kuznetsov" was as an experimental, transitional aircraft carrier by conventional propulsion, no catapult take-off device, so the fighting will not be transformed too. In addition, the "Kuznetsov" was hull over 20 years, as a training ship will still use a non-combatant ships, will not be used in combat.
Military commentators believe that the battle group configuration depends on their specific mission, to determine the frigates, destroyers of the number, and whether equipped with landing craft and so on. From the current situation, China's aircraft carrier research and development, in order to increase national security and the ability to maintain peace, based on improving defense capabilities. According to existing statistics, China by the "Kuznetsov" was the transformation of the aircraft carrier, the maximum speed of not less than 26 (about 48 km / h), the number of carrier-based aircraft carrying about 20, about 10 or so helicopters should include two cards -31 early warning helicopters.

National Defense University military expert, at present, "Kuznetsov" was that with conventional systems such as radar systems, air defense systems, such systems have been set out basic equipment, as carrier-based aircraft, it should be is -15 F and Su-33. "Kuznetsov" was as an experimental, transitional aircraft carrier by conventional propulsion, no catapult take-off device, so the fighting will not be transformed too. In addition, the "Kuznetsov" was hull over 20 years, as a training ship will still use a non-combatant ships, will not be used in combat.
Military commentators believe that the battle group configuration depends on their specific mission, to determine the frigates, destroyers of the number, and whether equipped with landing craft and so on. From the current situation, China's aircraft carrier research and development, in order to increase national security and the ability to maintain peace, based on improving defense capabilities. According to existing statistics, China by the "Kuznetsov" was the transformation of the aircraft carrier, the maximum speed of not less than 26 (about 48 km / h), the number of carrier-based aircraft carrying about 20, about 10 or so helicopters should include two cards -31 early warning helicopters.
