On the 13th, the CCTV military released the latest footage of China’s first catapult-type aircraft carrier “Fujian Ship”, which was completely independently designed and built. Although the video is only 8 seconds long, one of the screens showing the hull highlighted the latest Fujian ship development. Experts believe that the auxiliary strength test of the Fujian ship has been carried out, the mooring test is proceeding smoothly, and the day of the sea trial is just around the corner.

The Global Times reported that the Fujian ship with hull number 18 is China’s third aircraft carrier. It has a straight-through-long flight deck, equipped with electromagnetic ejection and arresting devices, and has a full load displacement of more than 80,000 tons. It was launched in June 2022.
This CCTV military short video is only 8 seconds long, but it conveys an important message. The picture shows the hull of the Fujian ship from one side. The electromagnetic ejection construction unit on the deck still covers the construction workshop, which has not changed from before, but there is a groove on the red paint near the waterline that is burning, And it’s black all around.
According to the report, military expert Song Zhongping saw the video and thought it might be the exhaust port of a diesel generator.
Song Zhongping pointed out that the Fujian ship is currently conducting mooring trials as planned. The most important part of the mooring trial period is the dynamic testing of the aircraft carrier. Dynamic testing refers to the testing of the aircraft carrier’s hydraulic systems, air systems, and electrical systems. , which involves the distribution of power to the entire ship through the auxiliary power system, and each system needs to be turned on for the test.
This black mark is very likely that the auxiliary power diesel engine has been ignited. They believe that when the entire hydraulic system, air system and electrical system have been fully tested, all systems and modules can work normally. , you can go to sea for sea trials. Based on the official information released, the mooring trials went very smoothly, and it is ready for sea trials in the near future.
