Why do carriers even have islands at all?

Read somewhere that its because admirals are old fashioned and demand it?

Forgot to mention that China seems to be developing an interim F-18G growler version of their SU-33/J-15.

Pretty much just slapping on some EW equipment on a J-15

You're an idiot.

Non nuclear carriers have to have somewhere to release engine exhaust products. The few carriers that didn't have islands such as HMS Furious and the jap one whose name I can't remember ended up having reduced aircraft complements.

Nuclear carriers still need command and flight control facilities and due to their larger size, the loss of deck area to the island is not significant.

Not to mention that one fuck up by a plane/crew member could cripple the deck operations for a week

Identical to the Soviet aircraft carrier Ulyanovsk project from the 1980s.

>China cannot into clean-sheet design.

I think it's more a case of whoever made that picture in the OP just used a drawing of the Ulyanovsk.

It's identical. Unless China got the plans for the Ulyanovsk, then that's not likely to be real. Even if they did get the plans, I don't think they'd leave them exactly the same, there's decades of advancement in naval technology they've got to take into account now.

>>33001905
Why don't they let the aircraft use the full length of the carrier for takeoffs?

>>33001905
Oh thats just hilariously pathetic

Welcome to the 20th century.

Ulyanovsk was nuclear you fucking morons.

Looks appropriate to their mission profile (bullying ASEAN) - though I'd have expected them to go bigger honestly.

>>33002084
I expected smaller carriers with nuclear reactors and catapults desu.

They don't need full sized carriers. That's a US/France/UK requirement because overseas provinces. China needs numerous smaller carriers to fulfill their requirements.

I was expecting a bunch of small carriers using submarine reactors instead so they could just use them as portable island and influence tools.

hosho

>>33002065

So they turn it diesel

Even more pathetic

>>33001255
Control tower for airdales.
Ship control needs better visibility than front edge of ship.

>>33002405
Hosho had one. Sometimes.
You did notice the pic was Ryujo, right?

>I don't understand carrier ops, the post

>>33001928
It is easer to launch a plane that it is to land it

>1. Expanded deck size, looks more like the CDG.

Even the first carrier had more deckspace than CdG.

>>33002567
You are one dumb fuck.

>>33001905
The article writer used the picture from google senpai

The real life pictures of the Type-001A look slightly different than the one SCMP uses.

It's not a military journal lmao

>>33005125
I'm saying that it looks more like the CDG now than the old Soviet/Modern Poo carriers.

This is based upon actual pictures. Not the OP picture I used as a reference and triggered a bunch of anti-Chinese autists who can't figure out that a fucking news diagram isn't necessarily representative of reality.

Fake news. Sad!

All nuclear powered carriers have catapults, and yes, that includes the De Gaulle.
