Communist China announced the launch of massive assault ships, underscoring its relentless military expansion and growing ambitions on the international stage.

It will also be able to launch fighter jets and unmanned drones from an electromagnetic catapult and is equipped with“arrestor technology,” allowing fighter jets to land on its deck.

The communist nation has been working on a nuclear-power aircraft carrier that would allow PLAN to deploy vessels in faraway waters without needing a base to refuel.
The ship is roughly 864 feet long and 141 feet wide, significantly larger than China’s existing Type 075.
Currently, the United States Navy has 11 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers deployed in calculated locations globally, including in the Asia-Pacific. […]
