First Chinese Domestic Carrier Launched

There once was a plane, so big and heavy, that it could carry a weapon capable of defending any carrier group from almost any threat in the air at ranges no man would even think of. Legends say it was abandoned due to the inability of the salesman who represented it, allowing men from Seattle to blind the men in power, poisoning them, making them believe that the solution from Seattle was all that was needed.
Now, the legend has ended. All tooling has been destroyed for fear of such an awe inspiring plane being used by a former ally, now an enemy - which hasn't stopped that particular enemy. They're just making their own parts.
The plane that it could have become was never realized, it never reached its true potential.
Had it gotten a modern multi phased array radar, its nose was so big it could have been equipped with the best the world had to offer. It would have been able to see further than any Sentry.
Had it gotten the thrust vectoring nozzles, it would have turned on a dime, capable of maneuvering like a plane from the east, making the Air Force look really, really lame.
Had it gotten the desired engine upgrade, no Fulcrum would have escaped it's wrath, no SuperAShM would have been in Range for the Carrier group before a Phoenix found it's way to its launch plattform.

But alas, the price tag was too high and the sales pitch too bad (the guy apparently just went in and said "here", handing them a brochure, naming a price and left while Boeing and Subcontractors had a team explaining everything to the procurement committee) and so the ASF-14 only flies in our and Grumman's dreams.


That would be a direct attack on chinese mainland. You'd be much better off picking away their fighters with creative MANPAD system placement. Oceans are big, submarines hard to find, things just get lost.
A carrier without airplanes is just an awkward freighter.

Submarine carriers.

With God-tier logistics and planning it could just be "Really fucking annoying and expensive" if you tried to use it in the same way as a nuke AC. Without God-tier logistics (and with the hold-ups and complications that happen 10 times an hour during a war) then … best of luck.

Giving ASM longer range and either a high enough speed or reduced enough radar signature to get past CIWS. Once that's happened you shouldn't need the aircraft to carry the weapons closer to the target before firing them, and thus wouldn't need a fuckhueg ship to carry the aircraft close enough to manage that.

Think bigger Type 212 submarines with the ability to launch more drones at once.

Well can't they just give them some cool adjective as a name, bong style? Like HMS Indefeatable, HMS indefatigable, HMS Insufferable, HMS Intolerable, HMS Unusable etc. only in chinese? Or just name them after cool natural phenomena like whatever is the chinese word for 'Thunder' or 'Meteor' or whatever?

Sinking the enemy's carriers… WITH CARGO SHIPS!

So when does a US Cargo Ship sink it?

Shandong (it's a province) was supposed to be it's name, they can leave it nameless until commission if they want.
The thing about the chairman wanting to give it a politician name is really weird, Chinese ships are mainly named after cities (with 151 cities above 1M inhabitants, it's not like they're gonna run out of names…) sometimes named after mountains or rivers (with no mixing within a class), the ex-Varyag has a province name (Liaoning), so it should be a province name.

Retards who think the chinks can win wars against first-world nations need to be publicly humiliated.

You mean publicly beaten, like in Singapore. Anyone who thinks the Chicoms are even close to the level of humans deserves to be caned for their retardery.
