There will also be equipped with a converted former Soviet aircraft carrier, which will soon be out to sea trials. A U.S. Department of Defense official familiar with intelligence analysis, said: “We expect China will build at least one domestic carrier, may be two or more, but they did not disclose detailed information, such as ready-made in the end how much work schedule how to arrange, or What is the mission of these aircraft. “Pentagon Another representative pointed out that China has built aircraft carrier is a global force projection as an important symbol, the number of actual construction may not be limited to two.
