China is building a massive nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that could rival the US Navy’s largest, says report
NBC News, new satellite imagery from China’s Dalian shipbuilding facility suggests that the country is developing a massive nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that could rival the United States’ largest vessels.
Analysts, after reviewing images provided by Maxar Technologies, noted that this new ship will feature a design unlike any currently in China’s fleet, potentially signalling a major shift in the balance of naval power.
A leap in carrier technology
According to the report, the China currently operates three aircraft carriers, with the latest addition being the Fujian, a Type 003 supercarrier. The Fujian has three electromagnetic catapults designed to launch jets, but analysts believe that the new images from Dalian indicate that China is taking its carrier capabilities to the next level.
Michael Duitsman, a researcher at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, told NBC News that the satellite images suggest that China is preparing for a fourth-generation carrier, likely the Type 004, with four catapults instead of the usual three.
