Fujian: China Launches Third, Most Advanced Aircraft Carrier

China Has Launched Its Third And Most Advanced Aircraft Carrier From Shanghai’s Jiangnan Shipyard, With New Combat Systems That Experts Say Are Fast Catching Up With The United States.

Named “Fujian,” The Ship Is China’s First Domestically Designed And Built Catapult Aircraft Carrier.

Its Electromagnetic Catapult-Assisted Launch System Is A Major Upgrade From The Less Advanced Ski Jump-Style System Used On Its Two Predecessors.

The New System, Similar To The Ones Used By Us Aircraft Carriers, Will Allow China To Launch A Wider Variety Of Aircraft From The Fujian Faster And With More Ammunition.
