What was the name of the first domestic aircraft carrier in China?
However, according to the Regulations on Naming Naval Ships, the first-class ships (aircraft carriers, cruisers and nuclear submarines) are named after the administrative provinces (regions) by the General Staff Department.
The Liaoning was occupied by the carrier training ship 16, so the following 33 names cannot be named: Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing, Hebei, Shanxi, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Taiwan Province, Jiangxi, Shandong, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong, Hainan, Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan. Among them, Hebei, Tianjin, Shandong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macau, Guangxi, Taiwan Province and Hainan are more likely (in geographical order) because the above-mentioned provincial administrative regions are coastal provincial administrative regions.
Considering that the ship 16 is named after Liaoning, and the Yalu River estuary in Liaoning is the starting point of China's coastline, if the original name indicates the starting point of China's aircraft carriers, it is likely that it will be named along the coastline in turn, and then the following aircraft carriers will be named Hebei, Tianjin and Shandong in turn. On the other hand, Liaoning is a northern province, and it is also possible to choose a southern province for the sake of geographical balance, so the next few aircraft carriers are likely to be named Guangxi and Shanghai in turn.
Every warship has an official name. This name is their number in the navy, which is conspicuously painted on the ship's side (hence the name ship number). The Liaoning ship selection number is 16, which starts with 1, and the following aircraft carriers should all be 1. The first domestic aircraft carrier should not be an aircraft carrier training ship, but a formal combat aircraft carrier, so it must be a three-digit ship number. At present 10x, 1 1x are destroyers of the North Sea Fleet, 13x are destroyers of the East China Sea Fleet, 16x and 17x are destroyers of the South China Sea Fleet. Moreover, the East China Sea Fleet has been compiled to 139, and it is natural to add another one, which is compiled to 140. Therefore, in general, it is estimated that the ship number of an aircraft carrier may appear in 12x, 15x, 18x, 19x. Considering that 19x, 190 or 19 1 is the most likely. However, after four Soviet-made Type 07 destroyers (10 1, 102, 103, 104) were retired,1,/kloc-0. In addition, China plans to have four aircraft carriers, so it may be numbered 10 1.
