[quote=DODGER,310258]If China was to move into an aircraft carries program they would need 3 carries to have any type of rotation, as one would always be in dry dock for repairs. They would also need to make a decision on what type of aircraft to fly. A VTAL type would do away with the need for catapults or ones with lesser impact on the hull. Aircraft maintenance at sea is a huge problem. Then you have the issue of operating them. A small Carrier would need a crew of around 2500 with the same number ashore in reserve. The issue of training the crew might also add some challenges. The western navies learnt over many years with trail and error and an exchange program. Who would train the crew? Russia? Good luck!
