US official: Chinese carrier-free ocean force short-term domestic story to match the United States

Foreign media say Chinese Navy carriers cannot be justified by United States Navy aircraft carrier offshore operations. Chinese Navy does not have the similar United States Super carrier can provide the kind of global power projection capabilities. This is the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence agency assessment.

According to the United States on the national interest magazine website reported on March 6, United States Defense Intelligence Agency wensente·situerte, the Secretary earlier to the House Armed Services Committee, said: "China is building an aircraft carrier will not have equal offshore, high seas battle with us aircraft carrier capability, nor to the way we use carrier air operations. ”

Stewart said that the Chinese carrier--at least at first – will focus on operations in waters around China. Most of the efforts, China seems to be in order to ensure that the South China Sea and its so-called "nine lines" claim.

In fact, China carriers-the displacement of 55,000 tons of Liaoning-the first in Ukraine to build, its displacement is about United States "Nimitz" half-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. In addition, the carrier is equipped with ski-jump takeoff system instead of the ejection system, which limits its ability to make heavier aircraft took off.

Reported that subsequent new aircraft carrier – is the construction in Dalian, China-may also like Liaoning are of Soviet-era design for a prototype. This means that, equipped with steam or electromagnetic launch system in China domestic carrier front, the Chinese Navy do not have the "Nimitz" or "Ford" class aircraft carrier.

Reports, however, with Beijing to develop better technology and to defend their bases overseas, the Chinese Navy's global power projection capabilities will be further strengthened. In fact, there are signs that the Chinese are planning to do so. Stewart said: "now, as China has port facilities in Africa, and they got the better of submarine technology, they are about to have a wider range of global power projection capabilities. ”

Reportedly, only time will tell, how the Chinese Navy will evolved over time. Despite the decline in economic growth in China, Beijing has continued to expand its military capabilities--although at a slightly slower rate.

美高官：中国航母无远洋战力 短期内难与美匹敌

　　外媒称，中国海军的航母无法以美国海军航母的方式进行远洋作战。中国海军也不具备类似美国超级航母能够提供的那种全球力量投射能力。这是五角大楼的国防情报局作出的评估。

　　据美国《国家利益》双月刊网站3月6日报道，美国国防情报局局长文森特·斯图尔特日前对众议院军事委员会说：“中国正在建造的航母将不具备与我们的航母同等的远洋、公海作战能力，也无法以我们动用航母的方式实施空中行动。”

　　斯图尔特说，中国的航母——至少在初期——将专注于中国周边海域的地区作战行动。中国的绝大部分努力似乎都是为了确保对南海及其所谓“九段线”的主张。

　　实际上，中国目前的航母——排水量5.5万吨的辽宁舰——最初是在乌克兰建造的，它的排水量约是美国“尼米兹”级核动力航母的一半。此外，中国航母配备的是滑跃起飞系统而不是弹射系统，这限制了它让更重的飞机起飞的能力。

　　报道称，中国随后的新航母——正在大连建造——可能也像辽宁舰一样是以苏联时期的设计为原型的。这意味着，在中国研制出配备蒸汽或电磁弹射系统的国产航母前，中国海军将不具备与“尼米兹”级或“福特”级航母能力相当的航母。

　　报道称，然而，随着北京研发出更好的技术并捍卫海外基地，中国海军的全球力量投送能力将进一步加强。实际上，有迹象表明中国人正打算这样做。斯图尔特说：“现在，由于中国在非洲拥有港口设施，而且他们拥有了更好的潜艇技术，他们即将拥有更广泛的全球力量投送能力。”

　　报道称，只有时间会告诉人们，中国海军将怎样随着时间而演变。尽管中国经济增速有所下降，北京仍在继续扩大其军事能力——虽然是以略微放慢的速度进行的。
