China's dream of an aircraft carrier was put forward by Chen Shaokuan, then director of the Kuomintang navy, as early as the end of 1928. Just 10 years before this proposal was put forward, Britain built the world's first "competitive god" aircraft carrier with full flight deck.
1929 Kuomintang's case of organizing military affairs pointed out that "the national sea defense line is long, the territory is large, and the naval power is weak ... In the future development, we should seek truth from facts and develop the navy ... The chairman of Xianning Naval Military Committee said:" For the sake of national rights, we should build a strong navy and make us a world-class naval country ... "1.
Building an aircraft carrier has always been the dream of several generations of naval soldiers and a symbol of the country's prosperity. 1930, the plan to build an aircraft carrier was formally put forward for the first time, but it was not completed due to the failure of naval battle and other reasons. After the founding of New China, Chairman Mao put forward the idea of building nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers, and these plans were put on the agenda. China began a century-old dream and began to build a powerful navy. 1958, the navy put forward a new ship construction plan to make good plans for forming a strong fighting capacity in the future. At that time, the slogan of strengthening the navy was put forward, "Nuclear submarines will be built in 10 thousand years." Mao Zedong shouted this resounding slogan.
During 1958~ 196 1 year, the navy conducted research on aircraft carriers and other technologies, but no substantial progress was made. Based on the naval development strategy and the overall strategic decision of the country, consider whether an aircraft carrier is needed. After determining the strategic needs of the navy, investment is the overall consideration of the strategy, and capability is the direct factor that determines whether the aircraft carrier plan can be started. Taking "two bombs and one satellite" as an example, the development of "two bombs and one satellite" with the strength of the whole country shows that if there is no condition, conditions must be created and the goal will be achieved. This is the final conclusion of the strategy.
The strategy of the aircraft carrier determines whether the actual start-up plan is mainly determined by the capability. It is safe to invest in love if you have certain ability. The ability to build an aircraft carrier is determined by the ability of the shipbuilding industry and the aviation industry, and we seek to find and explore the similarities between the two industries.
In shipbuilding technology, 1958 introduced the Soviet drawings "Leap Forward" and 1960 launched the "Dongfeng" independently developed. Facing tens of thousands of tons of large cargo ships, China shipbuilding industry has fallen behind. It is a bit lacking in confidence, and it has a huge impact on the navy, almost embarrassing.
After five years of planning adjustment, national defense construction has basically returned to normal, and nuclear submarines, ocean-going survey ships and guided missile destroyers are all in the national defense plan. The aircraft carrier plan has entered the early stage of the plan. The aircraft carrier plan is not as simple as building an aircraft carrier, but also needs supporting facilities such as carrier aircraft and escort formations. As a result, the naval aircraft carrier plan went bankrupt, mainly because the plan was too large and the national economy could not support the huge national defense construction. The aircraft carrier plan has continued, and the navy should develop steadily.
The standard Deng Xiaoping style appeared. The great disarmament in 1985 brought China back from the arms race to the road of economic construction.
The original aircraft carrier plan was prepared to rely on foreign advanced technology to develop, but the procurement was too expensive. The current situation of foreign cards made us understand a truth ~ everything depends on ourselves! Since then, the navy has unswervingly determined the purpose of the aircraft carrier itself.
The implementation of the 863 plan greatly encouraged the national defense construction, and then determined the long-term development plan of the navy. It is planned to achieve the goal in 2000, and an aircraft carrier will appear in the navy from 2000 to 20 10. When China bought the retired aircraft carrier. Since then, the navy has been able to understand the structure of the aircraft carrier in detail for the first time, and the preliminary research and preliminary design of the aircraft carrier also began at this time. The aircraft carrier "Varyag" parked in Russia, 1998, was bought by a Macao company in the name of establishing an amusement park and arrived at Dalian Shipyard after many twists and turns. Later, it was renovated by the China military. On July 27th, 20 1 1, the Ministry of National Defense of China confirmed that the abandoned aircraft carrier platform currently under renovation would be used for scientific research and training. The first sea trial was conducted on August 10. 2065 438+ was delivered to the navy on September 23, 2002, ready to enter the service.
2065438+At about 16 pm on September 23rd, 2002, the first aircraft carrier platform 16 was delivered to the navy in Dalian. On the morning of the 25th, the first aircraft carrier "Liaoning" was officially handed in. 2012165438+1On October 25th, China's J-15 carrier aircraft completed its take-off mission on the deck. It marks that the development of China's aircraft carrier has entered a new stage of development, but there are still many places to be improved. We hope to have an aircraft carrier, but the real purpose is to see a strong navy.
