China’s newest aircraft carrier, Fujian, completed its maiden sea trial after six years of construction. Launched in 2022 as a Type 003 carrier, it boasts a displacement of nearly 80,000 metric tons, surpassing Shandong and Liaoning in size. Unlike its predecessors, Fujian features a Catapult Assisted Take-Off Barrier Arrested Recovery (CATOBAR) system. It’s expected to carry advanced aircraft like Shenyang J-15 fighters and JL-10 trainer jets, despite being conventionally powered.
