Japan’s navy spots newest Chinese aircraft carrier sailing for first time in East China SeaThe Fujian, China’s newest and most advanced aircraft carrier, was spotted this week by Japan sailing for the first time in the East China Sea on its way to conduct “scientific research tests and training missions in the South China Sea.” ----oooo00O00oooo---- |
FOR DECADES the mighty aircraft-carrier has ruled the
waves. In 1986 it burst into pop culture in the film “Top Gun”, a celebration
of cocksure naval aviators. Yet because of increasingly lethal anti-ship
missiles, many think its days are numbered. “The thing will be dead in the
water in 20 years, for sure,” declared Mark Milley, America’s chairman of the
joint chiefs of staff from 2019-23. “It’s a big piece of steel that—sorry—saw
its best day at Midway.”
