From "Varyag" was transformed into a medium-sized aircraft carrier, still face of the overall strength of the U.S. and Europe Zhu Qiang
Reporter / Weidong Xu / Li Jing
If the wind sailing against the background of the "Age of Discovery," the rise and fall of great powers, dreadnoughts of World War I defined the strength of the dominant sea power, then the aircraft carrier from the date of birth to be seen as a powerful symbol of industrialization and modernization of equipment. Currently, the only United States, France, Britain and Russia to design and manufacture of medium-sized aircraft carrier with the capacity, but this long dominated by the West, "aircraft carrier club" may be about to usher in a new member from the East.
Recently, the country was published in several official website of Dalian Shipyard is being rebuilt, "Varyag" aircraft carrier photo. Shown above, "Varyag" was the conversion is nearing completion, the painting of the Chinese naval vessels into the standard light gray blue. Accordingly the Western media speculated that China's first aircraft carrier will soon put into use, and stressed the carrier service will be "comprehensively push forward China's armed forces a major turning point in the process of military modernization." A military expert on the "World News" reporter pointed out that even if China is to deploy "Varyag" No, it does not mean a threat to China with his country's combat capability, "Varyag" was just a Chinese aircraft carrier to the Western powers to learn The pay of the "first tuition fee."
Exotic built aircraft carrier mystery
"Varyag" was in China, recalled how the process is quite tortuous. 1962 "Cuban missile crisis", the former Soviet leader and the aircraft carrier Admiral increasingly important role to reach a consensus. Then in the 80s of last century began to develop a real sense of the medium-sized aircraft carrier - "Project 1143.5 ship", specifically by in Nikolayev shipyard in Ukraine responsible for the construction. Until the Soviet Union, Nikolayev shipyard completed only the first ship "Admiral Kuznetsov" aircraft carrier of the construction work, then attributed to the Russian Navy under the command of the ship.The Ship II "Varyag" was completed only about 68% of the construction project, failed to install weapons and command and control systems, aircraft can only be regarded as an empty shell.

Foreign media disclosure of the conclusion by calculating the Chinese navy, air support in the implementation of its mandate, an aircraft carrying 40 combat aircraft produced the equivalent of 200-800 effect of land-based fighters. By then, the Chinese Navy aircraft carrier fleet in support of attack submarines will be able to effectively defend from the Aleutian Islands to Papua New Guinea "second island chain" within the scope of legal rights. The picture shows the spread of the Internet "Varyag" aircraft carrier new photos (data plan)
Ukraine does not need its own navy aircraft carrier, the Russian navy was unable to pay the continued construction costs, "Varyag" number can only be so alone in the berth despite the wind and rain. Conspiracy in the West under the brutal dismantling of the brothers with different doors, "Varyag" was the final time soon due to get a new life in China. Government of Ukraine in 1999 reached an agreement with a Macau company, to $ 20,000,000 sale price of the aircraft carrier. After twists and turns, the carrier finally arrived in China in 2002, the port city of Dalian.
"Varyag" was settled in Dalian, the Western military and intelligence speculation and interpretation on it never stopped. However, the aircraft carrier's hull, flight deck and the ship has already completed the main structure of the island, etc., even if the transformation of internal and external have no way to detect. Thus, the Western countries only in the peripheral inquire about the news.
In 2009, a place Jing Xian, Wuhan and the carrier form a similar architecture.Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao," Canada "Chinese Defense Review" and other foreign media have speculated that this is for the transformation of "Varyag" land-based aircraft carrier built models, designed to find out as soon as possible within the compartment and pipeline carrier layout, and simulation of carrier-based aircraft in the hangar deck and the location and so on. In addition, with the carrier supporting carrier fighter, trainer and early warning helicopters also inquire into the Western opportunistic aircraft carrier combat capability of China's future "reference of the equipment", the relevant reports also often have remark.
However, until early 2011, all the suspect finally have the answer. The Associated Press quoted "Han and Defense Review," the report said, "China's first aircraft carrier near the end of the repair work has been." Western media and photos posted on the Chinese Internet show, "Varyag" ship island has lined radar, antenna and other electronic equipment, ship is also equipped with mysterious equipment. Obviously everything has been answered. As Chinese Defense Minister Liang in March 2009 with the Defense Minister of Japan Yasukazu Hamada told when the meeting as "power is not the only aircraft carrier in China, China can not always be no aircraft carriers."
"Varyag" and the gap between the West
With the "Varyag" was gradually clear future direction, and its operational capability has also become the focus of the outside world. To the same level of "Kuznetsov" aircraft carrier as a reference, "Varyag" was about 302 meters, 70.5 meters wide and nearly full load displacement of about 6.7 million tons, ship-borne fighter, anti-submarine helicopters and early warning helicopters The total number should not exceed 50.

And the United States "Nimitz" class aircraft carrier and the French "de Gaulle" aircraft carrier of large flat deck designs, "Varyag" was still retains a certain elevation of the slide with more deck. According to the U.S. "strategy of the page" website and other media had speculated that the future of China-developed carrier-based trainer and carrier-based aircraft and the F-11BH cards purchased from the Russian early warning helicopters -31 may have equipment "Varyag" number. Although such information has not been confirmed, but at least from the side show that China has with its carrier supporting the use of multi-type carrier-based aircraft.
Although the equipment "Varyag" was greatly enhance the combat capability of the Navy, but European and American nuclear-powered aircraft carrier naval equipment compared to conventionally powered aircraft carrier medium is still not a small gap.Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Center for Arms Control and Nonproliferation Hongyuan in the Secretary-General to accept the "World News" interview, pointed out that "Varyag" was the initial design and advanced degree, and there is still a carrier of Western art large gap, the future is likely to act as a training ship aircraft carrier.
Air Force who had served in the Chinese military experts on the "News of the World," a reporter said, "nuclear aircraft carrier can be for many years without refueling, combat at sea a long time, and conventionally powered aircraft carrier medium is often necessary to add oil, life time than short. "attendance in the frequency and carrier-based aircraft carrier-based aircraft payload, the use of the more slippery the deck of the" Varyag "was also weaker than the United States and Europe equipped with a large aircraft carrier catapult. Thus, even if the transformation of naval equipment in China a new "Varyag" No, it would only solve the problem of whether the aircraft carrier, a short time can not achieve the "carrier power" level.
Naval forces have begun to take ocean-going operations
"You're playing you, I hit my", the strategy of Mao Zedong Thought is a scientific summary of our military strategy and tactics. China's aircraft carrier strategy also coincide this road, not rivalry competition with other countries, but not for whom the threat, but based on their own strategic needs and the development of military modernization steps. With the U.S. Navy "Nimitz" class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and the French Navy, "Charles de Gaulle" aircraft carrier compared to the comprehensive combat capability of medium-sized aircraft carrier is still a gap, but in the military strategy of active defense, under the guidance equipment "Varyag "aircraft carrier still has major strategic significance.
At present, the Chinese navy has been equipped with more-made air force bombers and fighters, and have developed its own air refueling and AWACS, maritime operational range is gradually expanding. However, compared with shore-based aircraft, the carrier's advantage is more apparent.
The Air Force has been serving the Chinese military experts on the "News of the World," told reporters: "land-based fighters, bombers and attack range of the combat radius is fixed, the match is very clear, and the aircraft carrier is a mobile platform, an area large enough offense and defense more. "In addition, the Chinese Navy has equipped with the" Chinese Aegis "reputation of the new destroyers, stealth frigates and new large landing ship, if the carrier in time to join, under the cover of the carrier aircraft, the future combat capability of the Chinese Navy will ocean will be significantly enhanced.Hongyuan also stressed that "the aircraft carrier is the basic platform for offshore operations." Thus, in the Chinese navy to "Deep Blue" in the background, really need to accompany the aircraft carrier.More importantly, China's current international status and the overall development strategy also requires carriers such equipment to match. Hongyuan that "China has a vast maritime interests, GDP has captured second in the world, if China has no aircraft carriers, or are not ready to develop future aircraft carriers, it is China's economic strength and international status disproportionate. "Even the Chinese Academy of Military Science researcher Jiang also cited the" News of the World, "told reporters that" China's strategic development in terms of structure or building from the military point of view of development, China needs (carrier of such equipment), to enhance its international status, a peaceful rise , also has this need.

From the transformation to the domestic carrier
Strictly speaking, China's development "Varyag" aircraft carrier, to transform rather than construction, but also independent research and development for the Chinese-made aircraft carrier to accumulate experience. Hongyuan that improve and use the "Varyag" was to help the Chinese aircraft carrier to find out the basic features and use regulations. If the "Varyag" was finally able to put into the deployment, will China's military modernization, and even a significant impact on the military industry. Hongyuan that the carrier is the product of a large industrial, aircraft carrier battle group is very large, "industrial complex" to develop a complete set of related technologies and industries, and its significance far beyond the scope of offshore operations.
Now, "Kuznetsov" aircraft carrier has been coated with the Chinese navy's "standard-color", may soon face that represents the glory and honor of the flag will be flying in its towering mast, sail with the waves. Carrier is not only the development of China's military modernization synonymous with leaps and bounds, is also upgrading China's defense industrial strength milestone. "Varyag" was probably just the beginning, the future there will be more miracles waiting for our witness.
