  • This is their third carrier and their first design.

    The first carrier is the sister ship to the Russian Admiral Kutzenov, not built by China but Ukraine - China finished the fitout since it wasn’t fitted out before USSR fell. They also removed the 12x gigantic VLS cells for Granit.

    The second was built from the plans of the first, but is entirely built in China. It has a bigger internal hanger since no bulkheads for the VLS cells were added.

    This is their third and a fully homegrown design.

    It’s a pretty normal progression- Study and existing object/plans for the first gen, Build those plans mostly as-is for the second gen, design your own for the third.
