According to the order of construction, the US military has four aircraft carriers in service so far:

The earliest was the 'Essex-class' produced during World War II, which was the result of large-scale construction by the US imperialists during the war, which fully demonstrated the industrial strength of the US imperialists, and the construction period was extremely short, and one ship was launched in a year and a half.

After the war, most of the aircraft carriers of this class were modernized and refitted, and most of them continued to serve until the seventies, when one "Lexington" was left to be used as a training ship.

The second stage is the 'Forrestal class', which belongs to the first type of supercarrier, with a full load displacement of 80,000 tons, and a total of four ships of this class have been built. The average cost is $200 million, but it's $200 million in the fifties!

The third-stage supercarrier is an upgraded and enhanced version of the Forrestal class, which is the famous Kitty Hawk class conventionally powered aircraft carrier, which has been transformed and upgraded from the shortcomings of the previous generation of aircraft carriers, and the performance has been greatly improved.

Its first ship was the Kitty Hawk, which has been featured in Chinese newspapers and news all year round, and its home port is Yokosuka, Japan. It is no wonder that the Chinese people are very familiar with it, and when Frog Island Ah Bian was in power, this warship often came to deter China.

After the Kitty Hawk was decommissioned, the USS Ronald Reagan was stationed in Japan, and in the 2011 Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, the American soldiers aboard the Ronald Reagan cruising off the coast of Japan tasted the "metallic" smell of nuclear radiation.

The fourth stage is, of course, the most advanced Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and its degree of advancement is undoubted, dominating the Blue Star, swaggering everywhere, and no one can beat it.

Of course, in the face of the Chinese 'Dongfeng 21D', you still have to run, if you are beaten in two by one shot, then the world's strongest painting skin of the US military will be torn off. Now that US imperialism is relying entirely on the deterrent power of the US military to maintain the status of the US dollar as the world currency, if this last face is lost, the invincible US military will really have to retreat to North America.

The US imperialists practice world hegemony, station a large number of troops around the world, control all major shipping lanes in the world, and spend more than $600 billion a year on military expenditures, which is a heavy burden. The black hole of US imperialism is now snowballing bigger and bigger, and I wonder what will happen to those US troops deployed around the world when Wall Street capital flees and US imperialism goes bankrupt? Whether he will follow Wall Street to Europe or return to North America is unknown......

Just now, the US negotiating team discussed outside the conference room for a long time, and the result was obvious that the Mitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier would definitely not be given, and even the most advanced Kitty Hawk-class conventional-powered aircraft carrier would definitely not be able to pass.

In the end, only four Forrestal-class conventionally powered aircraft carriers in service were left for China to choose, as well as the mothballed Essex-class produced during World War II.

Of course, even the elder Bush knew in his heart that if he dared to use the Essex class to fill the number, the young man named Chen Xu on the other side might flip the conference table on the spot. However, any one of the supercarriers series is highly aggressive, and after handing over to China, the United States will face a series of political, military, and diplomatic problems.

In particular, the reaction of the Soviet Union is likely to be very strong, and they will see it as a large-scale American aid to the Chinese army, which in turn threatens Soviet interests in the Far East.

However, giving China an aircraft carrier is not without benefits, the Soviet Union will increase the military pressure on the Asian side, and the European side can relieve it a lot. Moreover, the deployment of huge military forces on the two fronts in Asia and Europe was a nightmare for the Soviet army, and the US imperialists were of course happy to see it happen.

Whether to give Chinese aircraft carriers or not is nothing more than a matter of interests. If one aircraft carrier can obtain intelligence on all the nuclear submarines of the Soviet Navy, giving the United States the strategic initiative in a nuclear strike, then this deal is obviously a good deal.

As a matter of fact, if the Chinese side is more assertive and refuses to budge an inch, the elder Bush is estimated to return to China for a trip to discuss the feasibility of handing over a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with the military leadership.

After careful consideration, the elder Bush's eyes were uncertain, and he said in a rather tactful tone: "Our navy must maintain a sufficient number of aircraft carriers to maintain a threat to the Soviet navy. In particular, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers have only been in service for a few years in China, and only two have been built, and their combat effectiveness has not yet been formed. And the aircraft carrier battle group composed of the Kitty Hawk class is the core of our navy's operations, and it cannot move at all! ”

"The implication is that the United States wants to perfunctory China with the old Forrestal-class aircraft carriers, am I right?" Chen Xu clasped his arms in his hands and made a gesture to get up, a little unwilling to continue the negotiation.

At this time, Director Turner, who was sitting next to him, couldn't stand it anymore, patted the table and said: "Forrestal-class aircraft carriers are the most advanced warships of our Navy, and they are the main warships in any country, so why do you say that it is old!" ”

"It's been in service for more than twenty years, and you're embarrassed to say it's a new ship? Even if it costs more than 200 million US dollars, it will be worth the price of scrap iron in 20 years, and you are embarrassed to exchange a broken ship for the most advanced Alpha-class nuclear submarine? Of course, he knows that the Forrestal-class aircraft carrier is very advanced, even after the 21st century, China will not be able to build this kind of aircraft carrier, and it is already burning incense to get one, and he is just doing this to stimulate the Americans to get more benefits.

But now Chen Xu has the courage to say this, now that Sino-US relations are becoming friendly and most of the weapons restrictions have been lifted, if China orders a new conventional aircraft carrier from Britain or France, it is theoretically feasible, and shopping around for the Forrestal-class aircraft carrier is becoming more and more worthless.

Bush Sr. rubbed the soft flesh of his eyebrows and came up with another idea: "Do you know how much the annual maintenance fee for an aircraft carrier is?" If there is no supporting aircraft carrier formation of frigates, destroyers, supply ships and attack submarines. It is not meaningful for China to ask for only one aircraft carrier, it is better to ask for a few more missile cruisers, and if the Chinese side agrees, China is willing to deliver the newly developed 'Ticonderoga' class missile cruisers to China. As compensation for the loss of aircraft carriers, we can negotiate on the number of cruisers. ”

Hearing this, Chen Xu couldn't help but show a contemptuous expression, not to look down on the Aegis-class of the US imperialists, but to pour the Aegis ship of the Chinese family into the sea like dumplings in the future generations, and the number of buildings was so large that it could no longer arouse the interest of military fans, and it was not as eye-catching as the launch of the fishery administration ship.

What's more, China's most advanced Type 055 10,000-ton large missile destroyers are about to be launched, and they are undoubtedly the strongest warships in the world. And the U.S. imperialists are weak in the development of destroyers, and they have bent the technology tree to develop what frequency sea combat ships and Zumwater-class missile destroyers, these two ships are like alien warships in appearance, and one cost more than four billion US dollars, which is worth ten 055 ships built in China.

The most important thing is that these two warships look advanced on the outside! The performance is only enough to bully a small country. If you come to China and send a missile boat to rush up, you can do it.

In the words of the bureau: "Zumwater's ship is beautiful and completely stealthy, and I used a dozen small fishing boats full of bombs to swing and stick to it, and blew it up with holes everywhere, isn't it over?" It doesn't work. ”

The two sci-fi new warships became the laughing stock of the vase, which cost a lot of money to develop, and finally only three were built and dismounted. Seeing that China's latest warships were being built one by one, the US imperialists had no choice but to turn around and upgrade the Burke Type 3 destroyers on the basis of the old Burke-class. It's just old bottles of new wine, and on large destroyers, the U.S. imperialism has been completely caught up by the Chinese family, and even opened up the gap.

Therefore, ordinary warships have no reference significance for the Chinese family, and the only thing that the US imperialists can make Chen Xu willing to accept is aircraft carriers.

"We need aircraft carriers, destroyers are the content of the negotiations later! I hope that the US side will show enough sincerity to solve the aircraft carrier issue first, and not to talk about it from the side. Chen Xu patted the table and signaled to Bush Sr. to stop diverting his attention.

"We need to go out and talk about it again!" The elder Bush did not let go when he saw that Chen Xu was dying, and the old chief next to him was also dozing off, and he looked like he had nothing to do with himself, so he knew that it was the intention of China's top level to ask for an aircraft carrier, so he had to interrupt the meeting again and lead everyone to go outside to discuss.

"You kid can do it!" Seeing that the Americans had all walked away, the old chief instantly came to his senses: "I didn't expect this aircraft carrier to really let you negotiate, our old guys are really not as good as you!" Under such strong pressure, I didn't let go, but I couldn't do it, and I felt that the Americans were taking a big bargain for a destroyer. ”

"They are all old aircraft carriers that were launched in the 50s, and they will be used as training ships when they are brought back, and it will take at least ten years to form combat effectiveness." Chen Xu is not so optimistic, this aircraft carrier is okay to scare and scare the Soviet Union, and when the Soviet Union collapses, this aircraft carrier can really only be used as a training ship.

After all, this is an aircraft carrier for the Americans, and the devil knows how many bugs are installed on it, how many back doors are in the electronics. If the Navy is really stupid to link the Navy's data to this aircraft carrier, it is equivalent to taking off his pants to show the Americans their own background, although there is nothing to see, but the shyness of the girl still has to be there.

Therefore, Chen Xu did not come back with such an aircraft carrier in order to really build an aircraft carrier fleet, but purely to let China learn and study the experience of building large ships and learn the structure of the internal compartments of the US imperialist aircraft carrier.

Aircraft carriers are cutting-edge technology, with complex structures and ingenious designs. The United States has rich experience in building ships, and China can avoid many detours by borrowing from the design of American aircraft carriers.

Besides, an aircraft carrier fleet is too expensive, and with China's current national strength, it really can't afford to raise it, at most, a single aircraft carrier can only be used in the East China Sea to have fun and train carrier-based aircraft pilots for the future domestic aircraft carrier fleet.

After the 90s, when China and the United States are at loggerheads, the aircraft carrier can be pulled into the dock for major renovations, and the entire ship's electrical circuits and electronic equipment will be dismantled and replaced with domestically produced goods, so that it can be used with confidence.

In addition, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, China can go to Ukraine to buy the design drawings of the large nuclear-powered aircraft carrier "Ulyanovsk", which was built in the Soviet Union.

At the same time, China had a decade of experience in the use of conventional aircraft carriers, and then borrowed from the Soviet Union's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier design. The Chinese can go directly to a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

Therefore, as long as one supercarrier can be used as a reference, and more can not be used! In addition, the political and risk of the introduction of multiple aircraft carriers will increase exponentially, and the pressure on the Soviet Navy will also increase, and it will be a loss.

But cruisers, Chen Xu is ready to ask for a few more, after all, this is a real combat effectiveness, which can be used immediately to resist the Soviet Union, and can ensure the tranquility of China's coastline for ten years.

After eating the upper house and eating the next home, after the Sino-US relations are at odds, China can go to Da Mao's house to buy modern-class missile destroyers to guard China's country, and in the era when we cannot build advanced warships for the time being, it is also expedient to rely on buying warships to protect the country.

Only after our domestically produced missile destroyers are built and we no longer have to fake others will we become a real military power.
