Huge News! China’s New Electromagnetic Catapult Flat Top Carrier!

James Kaufman, World News Report today. China's new electromagnetic catapult flat-top carrier. This is only the second electromagnetic flat-top carrier in the world. The USS Gerald Ford is the only other one in existence. And that's our latest and greatest, the one we made and commissioned last, our nuclear carrier. China has now formally commissioned its first catapult-equipped aircraft carrier, the Fujian, into service. The commissioning ceremony put particular emphasis on the ship's electromagnetically-powered catapults, with President Xi Jinping shown pressing the launch button inside the control bubble built into the flight deck. This all notably comes after U.S. President Donald Trump pledged last week to sign an executive order that will compel the U.S. Navy to go back to using steam-powered catapults on future carriers. Why? I don't know. Notice in the background is one of China's other carriers, the Shandong, which has no catapult system but uses a ski-jump bow instead of a catapult. There's been signs earlier this week that the Fujian Which has received the hull number 18 as officially entered operational service. As has been made clear, the Fujian is only the second flat top carrier in the world. And only the second carrier to be equipped with electromagnetic catapults. Also referred to as electromagnetic aircraft launch systems or EMALs. This is obviously an especially significant feature of the carrier's design. This allows much larger planes to be launched. There are actually two EMALs aboard this flat-top carrier. As mentioned before, there is currently only one other flat-top carrier in service globally with EMALs. The U.S. Navy's USS Gerald R. Ford, our nuclear carrier. Which is the U.S.'s newest carrier. God bless you and yours, folks. Please share, subscribe, and always remember, anything's possible in Bizarro World.
