Satellite images reveal China is building its third - and largest - aircraft carrier at a shipyard in Shanghai
卫星图像显示，正在上海的一个造船厂建造第三艘航母，也是最大的航母
Construction of China's third aircraft carrier is well under way, according to satellite images obtained and analysed by a U.S. think tank.
美国一家智库获取的卫星图像显示，第三艘航母的建造正在顺利进行。
Chinese state-run media including inhua and Global Times reported last year that the country was building a third aircraft carrier known as Type 002 and that it could be launched in 2021.
包括新华社和环球时报在内的媒体去年报道称，正在建造第三艘002型航母，并有望在2021年下水。
China's first two carriers are relatively small, with only up to 25 aircraft, less than half the number aboard U.S. carriers, and have jump ramps built into their bows. That configuration limits not just the types of aircraft that can fly off them, but how much weaponry and fuel they can carry.
前两艘航母相对较小，最多只能搭载25架舰载机，不到美国航母的一半，而且采取滑跃式起飞。限制了舰载机的类型，还限制了舰载机能携带的武器和燃料数量。
Its first carrier, the Liaoning, was a Soviet-era Ukrainian ship bought secondhand in 1998 and re-fitted in China. A second carrier based on that design was built by Chinese engineers and launched in 2017. It is coded Type 001A and yet to be named.
的第一艘航母辽宁号是于1998年购买的二手航母，并在进行了改装。基于该设计的第二艘航母由工程师建造，并于2017年下水，编号为001A型，但尚未命名。

As usual, their "first domestically built" of anything is a direct clone something produced by a different nation.
像往常一样，他们每国产化一个东西，第一个肯定是直接仿制其他国家的产品。

Wonderful news. China are investing in every corner of the world, providing locals with bridges, schools and hospitals in exchange for mining rights (as opposed to THAT other country which uses destruction and chaos as leverage) China need a naval fleet to protect their investments.
正在世界各地进行投资，为当地人架设桥梁，建学校和医院，以此换取采矿权。需要一支海军舰队来保护海外投资。

China is pretty much building fleets that is the same size as UK¿s entire combat fleet every 20 month. Just for 2018 alone, China has launched 6 destroyers that has far superior firepower than the Type 45

Looks nice, but draught tonnage wise, Yamato was bigger, and the US supercarriers dwarf it.
看起来不错，但美国超级航母让它相形见绌。
