Speculation that China is about to name its fourth aircraft carrier has attracted much attention. The Fujian, China's third aircraft carrier, has been equipped with an electromagnetic catapult and completed a "static load" launch test, signaling the imminent launch of its first sea trials. The Fujian ship is currently in the mooring test stage, once the mooring test is completed
It will enter the final stage of sea trials. The Chinese Navy currently has three aircraft carriers, namely the Liaoning and Shandong (gliding aircraft carriers), as well as the electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier, named Fujian. In the future, China plans to build new aircraft carriers, including nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and the naming rules for ships will continue to evolve.
Among the 23 provinces, 5 autonomous regions, 4 municipalities directly under the central government, and 2 special administrative regions, which administrative unit will give the fourth aircraft carrier a unique name, this is a naming mystery that has attracted much attention. The naming of China's aircraft carriers is associated with three major naval battles, namely the Battle of the Golden Brigade, the Battle of Weihaiwei and the Battle of Mawei.
The first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, was named after the Battle of the First Sino-Japanese Golden Brigade and was refitted at the Dalian Shipyard in Liaoning Province, which is also the birthplace of China's aircraft carriers, so it makes sense to use the name of the birthplace. The second aircraft carrier, Shandong, was built to commemorate the First Sino-Japanese Weihaiwei War. The third aircraft carrier "Fujian",
It is to commemorate the Battle of Mawei between China and France. Regarding the naming of the fourth aircraft carrier, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Taiwan, Hubei and Sichuan are among the most anticipated provinces. Guangdong and Jiangsu, as the most economically powerful provinces in China, are known as economic giants and are highly respected. The fourth aircraft carrier was named the Taiwan ship,
This is because Taiwan has been China's sacred territory since ancient times, and this name is the most appropriate considering the need to recover Taiwan. The Hubei and Sichuan ships are likely to be in preparation for the construction of amphibious assault ships, and the Type 075 amphibious assault ship No. 4 is about to be launched, and the name of the ship is highly anticipated.
People are eagerly awaiting the naming of the fourth aircraft carrier, and they are also eager to see more aircraft carriers join the Chinese Navy to show a strong posture and defend ***
