China launches indigenous 65000t aircraft carrier (Awesome feat)

[eatup]

Only 4 countries in the world capable of building +60000 tonne AC:

1. USA
2. UK
3. China
4. Japan (capable but not yet built one)

Btw, I never knew the world has so few carriers until now:

USA (+10)
UK (2 to go online soon)
China (2+at least 4 more planned)
France (1)
Italy (2)
India (1)
Thailand (2)
Japan (0)

Queen Elizabeth class AC (not ver knowledgeable about this but it looks like only one plane can be lauched at a time):

Chinese AC with ski jump has 2 planes ready for take off at any time:

Planes taking off/landing from China's 1st AC that looks similar to the 2nd one recently launched:

Oh I forgot to mention:

1. China 1st AC refurbished Ukrainean vessel = 60000-65000t full displacement
2. China 2nd AC indigenously built = 65000-75000t full displacement

#2 not only much larger but more comfortable facilities for crew (and more radar stealthy-looking island)

3. 3rd+4th AC expected to be 70000-80000t w steam catapults

4. 5th+6th AC will be nuclear w around 100000t displacement and EM catapults
