I think that it is a plausible and possible idea. The only thing that I would change is the possibility for maybe 10 – 20 VTOL or Jump Jets, 1-2 Helicopters, and 2-4 UAV AWACS. Other than that I can see it in the next 5-15 years.

well it’s certainly feasible, but there are huge obstacles to overcome for it to come off the drawing board and become reality; let alone be fully operational and combat ready or combat hardened…

But; I do disagree with Clifford Hawkes since the Chinese generally poo poo innovation and creativity especially in science and technology; dismissing it as unreliable and perversely ‘Western’. It’s simply in their general culture..

I think China will be playing catch-up in this field for another 30 to 40 years at least; especially in military technology, they simply do not have the level of genius or expertise, let alone the fat salaries or freedom and latitude of though for it’s scientists and technicians….there is a massive brain drain….

As for jack:-

I’m of chinese descent myself we talk about our dreams all the time…

nice, interesting and innovative concept though….

lol, looks like there trying to take japans idea from WW2. and probally will end with the same result. they should trybuild real aircraft carriers before getting into subs with planes. by the looks of it, the only advatage over a nimitz is going under water. othewr then that,it’s out numbered, and out gunned

The Chinese clearly have absorbed the lessons of the British and the Americans: Seapower ruled the world in the 1800s, Airpower in the 1900s. Combine the two to rule the 2000s. The era of Europe is over. Down on your knees before the Dragon of the East, Gwylo Dogs!

Dreams can come true. Chinese don’t talk about dreams.

“Aerospace Projects Review” ran an article a year ago about Boeing and General Dynamics designs for submarine aircraft carriers… the latter of which was also designed to carry 40 fighters. VTOL fighters at that.
