Gerald R Ford vs Fujian Type 003 - which is better?
China added another carrier to its fleet in June 2022, the most technologically advanced one yet: the Type 003 Fujian. It's a real showstopper, but how does this Chinese carrier stack up against the US's top dog, the USS Gerald R. Ford? The Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier, named after the 38th US President is the current crown jewel of the US Navy. Launched in 2017 after a decade of construction, it's also the most expensive warship ever built, clocking in at an inflation-adjusted cost around $15 billion. This behemoth stretches 1,106 feet long, with a flight deck width of 256 feet, providing ample space for launching and recovering aircraft. It displaces a staggering 100,000 tons when fully loaded….In 2022, China launched the Fujian aircraft carrier. This is China's first carrier equipped with electromagnetic catapults for aircraft launch. This fancy new tech lets them launch a wider variety of planes carrying heavier payloads. The name "Fujian" follows a cool tradition of honoring Chinese provinces. While the exact price tag is under wraps. It stretches 1,033 feet in length and displaces 85,000 tons when fully loaded. The Ford-class carrier is powered by two massive A1B nuclear reactors. These things are like the heart of the ship, pumping out enough energy to push the warship it over 30 knots, which is pretty darn fast for something its size - we're talking flying across the ocean at 35 miles per hour! This extended range is likely due to a combination of a massive fuel capacity and potentially a fuel-efficient electric propulsion system. The Ford-class boasts a capacity of up to 90 aircraft. A typical carrier air wing might include F-35 Lightening II, FA-18 Super Hornets, E-2D Advanced Hawkeyes, EA-18G Growlers, helicopters, and even UAVs and combat drones. Prioritizing crew comfort, this supercarrier features upgraded living quarters, enhanced fitness facilities, and ergonomically designed workspaces. With a crew of approximately 2,600 sailors, it hosts about 700 fewer personnel than its predecessor. To effectively operate this complex warship, a crew of roughly 2,700 personnel will be on board. These missiles can take down supersonic speed maneuvering anti-ship missiles with a range of 27 nautical miles. If something sneaks past the big guns, the carrier's got these 2 cool launchers armed with Rolling airframe missiles. These small infrared guided missiles can shoot their targets within 5 nmi. The Fujian is a force to be reckoned with, though a bit smaller than the US giant. Still, it packs a killer punch. It can carry 50-60 aircraft including J-15 fighters, potentially stealth J-35, and early warning aircraft.

There is no doubt that almost most Chinese military fans will objectively admit the huge gap between Chinese aircraft carriers and American aircraft carriers. Both Chinese military fans and various experts of the Chinese Navy are seriously learning from the US Navy. The US Navy is currently the undisputed absolute king in the world, and it is not shameful to emulate the best. But there is a part of controversy. ① China's Fujian aircraft carrier will not have the global deployment of long-distance combat needs like the United States. It will operate within the second island chain at most, so it is not an absolute major problem that it is not a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier for the time being. ② Even if it is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, does it not need to replenish fuel, ammunition and personnel supplies for carrier-based aircraft after a long period of operation? Do other warships in the same formation also need to replenish ship fuel, ammunition and personnel supplies? It just has more space to load more fuel and supplies, not really "unlimited". However, the Fujian ship will be the second strongest conventional-powered aircraft carrier in the world except the US Navy. Three electromagnetic catapults, J-35 stealth carrier-based aircraft, J15T, KJ-600 early warning aircraft... Just 12 years ago, China did not have an aircraft carrier. Some people have been laughing, and some people have been making progress.

Wonderful points. Thx for your insight for the viewers.
Nice presentation. My bet is on Ford....
Keep on going!👍💯
Our worst aircraft carrier is still better than China’s best.

Oh yeah, sure, feeling extremely salty and sour, eh? Do you realize that even your best ford class carrier is still a garbage class ship that required far more than expected maintenances and its catapults are also under performing and full of errors?

True. Fujian is NOT even a supercarrier. Sure it’s large but it only has 3 catapults compared to 4 on either Ford or Nimitz. And NO portside elevator, meaning aircraft will have to cross the deck to get to the portside catapult which is not only time consuming but would also impede the landing of other aircraft. Total of only 2 elevators unlike 4 on Nimitz meaning aircraft and munitions will have to line up longer to travel to and from the flight deck and hanger. So YES Fujian is slower in terms of sortie rate. It even has less power than the older non-nuclear powered Kitty Hawk class. On shaft horsepower alone Kitty Hawk has almost twice. So it’s more comparable to a QE class carrier as both are similarly matched in the number of aircrafts they can carry. Though QE has a more efficient propulsion. So in terms of capabilities Fujian like QE sits in between a small “lightning” carrier and a Ford or Nimitz class supercarrier.

Almost everything I see says made in China.
What about who has the best pilots 🤔
Are you serious? Will you compare a kitty with a lion?

In my opinion, the Chinese propulsion system has yet to prove itself for reliability.
Nuclear reactor in the ship more Dangerous
Don't care for the hype .... I have heard that a ocean going tug has to follow the China carrier around for in case of an emergency
since no one really knows if the Fujian’s electro magnetic system works,….for now, you should compare Fujian with Kitty Hawk class aircraft carriers. 😂
Gerard Ford Aircraft Carrier continues being the Best after all
Sure 100 percent USS GERARD FORD THE BEST.
Fujian is NOT a supercarrier like Nimitz or Ford.
China has tje most number of nuclear reactors on earth, you really think they won't put one in this carrier 😂😂😂
LOL, I think it's not fair, china's carrier should be compare with fishing boat, not with the Ford class😂
