英国《每日快报》：南海局势愈发紧张之时，中国新航母揭开面纱 [英国媒体]

CHINA has unveiled its newest ultra-modern aircraft carrier, cementing the nation’s position as a military superpower and raising fears over escalating tensions between its neighbours in the disputed South China Sea.

中国最新的超现代化航空母舰揭开神秘面纱，巩固该国作为军事超级大国的地位，也给中国南海各主权声索国间愈发紧张的局势制造新的恐慌。

The 70,000-tonne Type 001A CV-17 vessel is a reverse-engineered ship, and much more powerful version of China’s other aircraft carrier, the Soviet-built Liaoning Type 001 CV-16.

排水量达7万吨的001A型航母CV-17（注：这并非中国海军的正式编号，而是美军航母惯用的舷号标识）是一艘逆向工程产品，同时也是中国另一艘航母——前苏联建造的001型CV-16辽宁号的威力加强版。

The ship is now expected to be taken to a designated testing zone in the Bohai Sea for further trials, an area designated as a “no go zone” until April 28.

目前人们正期待着新航母前往位于渤海的指定海试区域展开进一步测试，该海域已发布了直到4月28日的“禁航令”。

Military expert, Song Zhongping, commented on the upcoming tests, saying: “The first sea trials of China’s second aircraft carrier, built at the Dalian shipyard, are likely to take place in the Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea to test its power and design.
“After the sea trial, which normally takes about 6-12 months, it will be ready for delivery to the PLA Navy, so it’s very likely we will see the carrier enlisted by the end of 2018.”

军事专家宋忠平在评论即将开展的测试时说：“由大连造船厂建造的中国第二艘航空母舰的首次海试，很有可能在渤海、黄海海域进行，以测试它的动力系统和整体设计。通常需要进行6到12个月的海试后，它才能准备好交付给人民海军。所以我们很有可能会在2018年底看到这艘航母正式服役。“

He commented on the speed of the development, saying: “For sure the speed is impressive, as it has only taken 10 months after the (Type 001A’s) dry dock was flooded for the first time in April till the builder’s trial and acceptance trial at sea.”

宋忠平在评价（航母工程）项目进展速度时说：“的确令人印象深刻，（001A型）从去年四月份干船坞首次注水到船厂海试、验收试航，仅仅用了10个月时间。“




  
China bought their older aircraft carrier, Liaoning, from Ukraine in 1998

中国于1998年从乌克兰购买了他们的上一艘航母，辽宁号。

Hu Wenming, the project’s General Manager, also commented on the testing phase, saying: “The steam turbines of Type001A will all start to formally enter the mooring test phase, which will be ahead of our schedule in overall progress.
“Before we deliver the ship, we also need to do a variety of systematic tests at sea, including matching tests of carrier-based aircraft, weapon systems and others.”

胡问鸣，中国国产航母研制总指挥，也就测试阶段评价道：”001A型的蒸汽轮机将全部启动以正式进入系泊测试阶段，整体进度比我们的计划略有提前。在航母交付前，我们还要进行各种海上系统测试，包括测试舰载机的匹配性、武器系统等等。”

Liu Zheng, Chairman of the Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Company, said: “All the equipment and devices on the carrier are in the joint debugging stage, and the main engine has been powered.
“In 2018, we will present a surprise to the Chinese people.”
The hull of the ship was launched in the Dalian shipyard last April, and it has since been undergoing further tests and developments.

刘征，大连船舶重工集团有限公司董事长，介绍说：“航空母舰上的所有装置、设备正处于联合调试阶段，主发动机也已经动车，2018年我们将有惊喜呈现给国人。“
该航母的船体是在去年4月于大连造船厂下水的，在那之后对其进行了进一步测试及改进。

China now has two operational aircraft carriers after the nation surprised the world by unveiling its first vessel, Liaoning, in 2012.
This ship was bought from Ukraine in 1998 and was supposed to be converted into a casino, but instead emerged as a fully functional warship.

中国现已拥有两艘可用的航空母舰。2012年，该国公开了她的首艘航母——辽宁号。全世界为之震惊。中国于1998年从乌克兰购买了该舰，原本计划将它改造成一个赌场，最终却作为一艘功能齐全的战舰出现在世人面前。

The newer CV-17 vessel looks similar to the Liaoning, but it will be larger than its sister ship and will be able to carry eight more aircraft, a total of between 36 and 44.
The vessel will include between 24 and 32 J-15 fighter jets, four early-warning helicopters, six anti-submarine helicopters and two transport helicopters.

更新的CV-17舰看上去和她的姊妹舰辽宁号很像，但比后者更大，能够多搭载八架舰载机，从而使载机总数达到36～44架。
该航母舰载机群将包括24架到32架歼-15战机，4架预警直升机，6架反潜直升机，以及2架运输直升机。





The Liaoning will include between 24 and 32 J-15 fighter jets

辽宁舰能够搭载24架到32架歼-15喷气式战斗机

Li Jie, a Chinese naval expert, commented on the ship’s developments, saying: "I think we can say that China has made major breakthroughs in the implementation of nuclear power on large vessels.

李杰，一位中国海军专家，针对新航母的发展动态评论说：“我想我们可以说，中国已经在将核动力应用于大型舰船上取得了重大突破。每一艘新航母都能实现一些跨越提升……第二艘完全吸收并巩固了第一艘的建造技术。”

"Each carrier achieves some breakthroughs... The second absorbed and consolidated technologies from the first one."
The CV-17 is thought to be a similar size to HMS Queen Elizabeth, which is the largest warship ever launched by the Royal Navy in 2014.
It is however still much smaller than the 100,000-tonne USS Gerald Ford.
据信，CV-17舰的排水量和英国皇家海军（HMS=Her/ His Majesty's Ship）伊丽莎白女王号航空母舰相当——该舰是皇家海军有史以来最大的战舰，于2014年下水。但与十万吨级的美国海军（USS=United States Ship）航空母舰福特号相比，她仍然小了很多。

China invested a lot of money on A2/AD weapons which target carrier groups inside their expanding ring of bases, so they have to have a reason to build a class of larger carriers capable of sustained out of hemisphere operations. Their fleet is just as vulnerable from the same threats far from home, but they lack America's elaborate supply chain network. Strategically, these medium carriers seem more likely to challenge India and their close regional neighbors than the US fleet, which will continue to evolve as China catches up.

中国在反介入/区域拒止（A2/AD=Anti-Access/Area Denial）武器上投入大量资金，专门针对进入其部署基地打击范围的航母舰队目标。所以如果他们要建造一级能在另一个半球持续执行任务的更大的航母必须先要有充分的理由。一旦远离本土，他们的舰队面对同样的威胁也只会同样脆弱，而他们还缺乏美国精心建立起来的那种补给网络。战略上看，这种中型航母更像是为威慑印度等区域内邻国建造的，而并非针对美军舰队。中国在追赶，美军的舰队也在升级。

DoubleDoom    @DailyExpressed
They don't need to be that big.   Just look at what happened to the British at Suez.  It was the point the UK ceased to be a great power (or at least proved it was no longer one).   The US used its financial power over the UK to break the British and force defeat.   China is positioning itself financially to be able to assert financial pressures on many Western countries, including the US.  There will come a point it can crash the economy of the US without a bullet being fired.

他们不需要那么巨大的军费。看看英国在苏伊士的遭遇就明白了——英国的大国地位就终结在那里（或至少是证明它已经不再是了）。美国运用它的金融势力迫使英国接受失败。中国现在正在部署她自己的金融力量，以能够有效地对许多西方国家施压，包括美国。会有那么一天，中国不费一枪一弹就能压垮美国经济。

（注：上面提到的是1956年的第二次中东战争，又称苏伊士运河危机。56年7月，埃及总统纳赛尔宣布把英国和法国掌握的苏伊士运河公司收回。英、法为重新霸占苏伊士运河，伙同以色列于同年十月底发动对埃及的侵略战争。埃及人民奋起抵抗，到11月6日即迫使英、法、以同意停火，随后相继撤军。在这一过程中，美国表面上是因正在激烈反对苏联入侵匈牙利，而不好反手又支持英法的军事侵略，艾森豪威尔甚至强烈谴责其为“殖民主义的死灰复燃”——实际上，当时美国在中东几乎还没有任何着力点，这次冲突可谓排挤英国势力以取而代之的天赐良机。）

Rather better organised than the UK that increasingly looks overseas to purchase technology.  Though pioneers in computing there is no big UK computing company apart from ARM (now owned by Japanese), the UK now is unable to build even a train, again supplied by the Japanese, Italians etc.  China does have big indigenous IT companies and they're able to build trains.

Why the hell wouldn't you reverse engineer an existing tried and tested design?  It's a floating airfield, not an iPhone.  You don't honestly think the new British carriers were designed from scratch do you?  They will have been based on an existing design, probably the American carriers.

State of the art?  The F35 first flew in October 2000.  It had to be tested for the millennium bug.  By the time it enters service it will be over 20 years old.
And the version we are buying for the UK carriers doesn't work properly and never will... the lift fan is where the weapons bay is supposed to be, so bombs have to go on the outside, rendering the stealth features useless and limiting the top speed.
Britains old aircraft carriers and the upgraded harriers were better than the stuff we are replacing them with, which were only ordered to make work for a shipyard near Gordon Browns constituency.

最先进？F35首飞是在2000年10月。它不得不测试的各种缺陷简直就像“千年虫”一样。到它能够服役的时候，这款飞机都已经出来20年了。
而且我们英国购买的型号至今不能正常工作，恐怕永远都不能……它的垂发风扇位于本该放（内置）武器舱的地方，于是炸弹只能挂在外面，导致其隐身外形毫无用处，而且还限制了最大航速。
英国的老航母以及升级版的“鹞”式舰载机都比我们现在用来替代它们的东西好得多——（建造这些新装备）就只是在给戈登·布朗（Gordon Brown，英国前首相）选区的船厂牟利而已。

A US Defense Department 2016 report on Chinese military strength examined the size of the Chinese air forces, which now approach 3,000 aircraft. This number puts China ahead of any country in the world, other than the United States and Russia. China's combat aircraft industry has come a long way from not being able to manufacture a single jet aircraft in the early 1950s, to becoming a modern combat aviation superpower capable of designing and producing a complete suite of stealth fighter jets, carrier fighter jets, strategic bombers and heavy transport planes today. Chinese combat aircraft production capability is surpassing Western European countries and is narrowing the gap between the USA and Russia. Earlier the laughs were on countries using obsolete Chinese fighters but that time has passed a long time ago. The fact is, many nations may eventually be equipped with the latest Chinese jets. Britain's total current RAF aircraft strength I believe is about 832.

美国国防部2016年发表的中国军力报告，剖析了中国的空军实力：其军机数量已接近3000架。这一数量使得中国对于除美俄外的任何国家都遥遥领先。1950年代早期中国还无法生产喷气式飞机；而自那时起，中国的战机产业已取得了长足的进步，发展成为今天能够完全自主设计、生产从隐身战斗机、舰载战斗机、战略轰炸机到重型运输机在内的一整套现代化军用航空设备的超级大国。中国的军用飞机生产能力早已经超越西欧国家，正在不断弥合与美国、俄罗斯的差距。如今早就不再是哪国装备了中国的过时战机，该国就会被嘲笑的时代了。事实上，许多国家最后恐怕都会装备最新式的中国战机。至于英国，我确定皇家空军（RAF=Royal Air Force）当前的军机数是832。

Aircraft carriers are only good for picking on countries that can't defend themselves , something the US, UK & French governments like to do. But with the emergence of hypervelocity missiles, these ships are sitting ducks and in any conflict with a super power, they will soon be sitting at the bottom of the ocean.
