Our decimal units are ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, millions, billions, trillions, etc. This is why digits are grouped in threes: 1,000,000,000,000 In Chinese, there is an additional 10000 unit. It isn't called ten-thousand. Well, it could be, but it has its own name. Just as in Indian languages, there is a 100000 unit with its own name (lakh) and a 100 lakh unit (crore).

Is this ship comparable to the two assault carriers that France delivered to Egypt (after Russia wasn't able to take delivery)?

[@xinyiquan666]

HOW is that even comparable? the french one is very small ship around 20000 tons and very old system and only can carry helicopters, and it is not a carrier, it is a old LHD, 076 is close to 50000 ton carrier with EMC catapult, with all sorts of jets and big drones and landing boats, it is even larger than french only carrier Charles de Gaulle

[@mingouczjcz3800]

Far beyond the two frenches. 076 has a electric-magnetic catapult, latest technology for launching both drones and fixed-wing aircrafts. Furthermore, even British HMS doesn't have this kind of catapults, so it has much shorter operation range the 076.

[@benibky6281]

wow,, luar biasa tiongkok akhirnyha type 076 diresmikan, sukses selalu tiongkok Zhungguo, jiaayooooo👍👍👏💪

[@dannyhong3195]

1130 now has AESA :)

[@sinocare]

Very objective and factual presentation of 076, particularly like your comments about UK’s half dead aircraft carriers. We should credit to UK that invented many of the technologies and techniques vital to the carrier and its operation today. Happy new year.

[@harrypothead4575]

Why no angled deck design though?

[@lynnpierce2024]

See the shed above? It's an electromagnetic ejection trajectory, so it's a straight deck

[@yumingzhao5577]

It was a dark day for the folks in Sichuan, they say over there, because this 076 is not a full nuclear powered aircraft carrier, according to recent posts in some Chinese social media.

[@MrBdoleagle]

It is also noteworthy that Sichuan received a lot of greetings especially from neighbor provinces. Their chances to have nuclear AC remain 😂🎉

[@bixudiwon6363]

they don't know why? Sichuan was supporting Boxilai and president Xi remembered it.

[@Hey_MikeZeroEcho22P]

No It WILL N O T have ...... Manned-aircraft, but instead rotary and UnManned aircraft!! Here's why I think so..... Look at video at time ( 9:40 ), Right Behind and little left corner of rear island is a hole in the deck with railing around it.... I'll get to that in a moment. (And I Bet there is a similar shaped hole on the port side...... [ ~ 11:53 ......RIGHT Behind the blue topped shed!!! ]) If You look closely on the deck where there look like two (2) people on the flight deck...one close to the edge and another Right In The MIDDLE of the FD (flight deck), there are NO Arrestor Wires!! So you will Not be landing J-15Ts on that ship, but instead drone aircraft. Why??? Again, look at that Hole I mention...It LOOKS like the shape of a "Barrier System" that USN uses on Their A/C (aircraft carrier) FD! It is used in case of some sort of emergency of the plane, where it will "Crash into the Barrier"...a series of vertical straps held UP by the craning of the barrier. This would make More sense, because you Don't want to keep "Crashing" an a-c (aircraft) into a barrier all the time. But for a drone, it COULD be fixed ~rapidly~ (??). As for the USN barrier system, sure it would damage the a-c, but the pilot would survive with assistance of FD crews. So I am thinking the catapult will be for ....... DRONES!!! Not manned a-c. USN Veteran 20+ years experience.

You are right

[@pohmoh3590]

Likely operate smaller J35 than heavy J15T

[@jisui4048]

根据对升降机还有宣传图的分析，搭载的很有可能不是固定翼而是某型无人机，我更倾向于全长电弹是为了给航母做备份，以达到能运作固定翼的目的，起降战斗机应该不是常态，毕竟这是两栖舰，坞舱主要还是要用来放装甲车和人员弹药这些，但是说真的两攻上全长电弹，这个真的太夸张了，没下水之前我都在猜会不会缩短一点方便无人机同时起降

When are they going to Taiwan?

[@danwelterweight4137]

Next decade by the late 2030s. China will be so strong then, nobody even the US will dare to oppose it.

[@larsnystrom6698]

When the Taiwanese allows the US to provoke them into that! But there's one step before that: a blocade of Taiwan. It's of course impossible for China to accept an American base on Taiwan. So, the US can always force China into doing something. Or China could reciprocate with a Cuba-crises 🙂

Soon the blue Navy will be ranked based on how many operational electric-magnetic catapults they have

[@AhmadHermi]

I am not a China fanboy. My country is one of the country that have overlapping claim in S.C.S. But I have to admit I am agreeing with Type 076 design as an amphibious/drone carrier. I guarantee you US will also develop their own LHD/ Drone carrier after this.

[@sitoudien9816]

Everyday is Christmas day in China. 2 stealth jets 1LHD. Tomorrow?

[@enshk79]

This may be my favorite carrier design ever. Yes, it’s not the biggest, but I just love the look. Love the straight rectangular shape. 🇨🇳 LOOK AT THAT 01:44. Beautiful!!!

Launch usually means it's in water. However, I guess for the China fans out there, this is close enough.

[@neilcrombie4100]

Talk about your bias lmao, someone is salty. The Queen Elizabeth class isn’t failed it’s just not in your concepts for a carrier. It’s a stovl Carrier, designed for F35 bravo to fit in budget. To say the uk doesn’t know any thing about carriers is ridiculous, the Royal Navy operated them from the 1920s-2010 successful in the Falkland’s I’ll add. China has a capable navy but get off your high horse lmao.
