	China's aircraft carrier ambitions: seeking truth from rumors Naval War College Review - Find Articles
		Carrier design and pilot training received a major boost in 1985 when a Chinese ship breaker purchased the fifteen-thousand-ton Majestic-class aircraft carrier HMAS Melbourne from Australia.
		First, as the carrier was being dismantled for scrap, Chinese naval architects and engineers were able to see at first hand how it had been designed and built; using this information naval architects were able to prepare drawings for a light carrier.
		Second, the flight deck of the Melbourne was kept intact and used for pilot training in carrier takeoffs and landings (though a static flight deck would, of course, have been of limited utility, since it could not replicate the pitch and roll of an aircraft carrier at sea).

		Carrying a full wing of starfighters, the Alliance Escort Carrier is equipped with laser cannons with which to repel attacking enemy starfighters, and it can also defend itself against smaller cruisers.

		This class of carrier does not utilize a steam catapult for launching fighters but is equipped instead with a ski jump at the bow to allow short takeoffs.
		Construction of a carrier or conversion of a secondhand vessel in a domestic yard would also be extremely costly, especially since much of the technology would have to be purchased abroad, quite aside from the new fighters, helicopters, early-warning aircraft, escort surface vessels, and screening submarines required.
		With the retirement of Liu in 1997, however, the aircraft carrier lost its champion in the Chinese navy.

		The "assault carrier" designation for this ship might imply that both the fighters and the ship itself engage a given target (as opposed to just the fighters themselves, as in a traditional carrier role).
		The fighter capacity of this class is probably less than the Defender; in its place could be heavy weapons or other structures.
		This particular class of ship is entirely automated and carries a limited chemical-based drive used when the standard ion one would be detected.

		They argue that aircraft carrier battle groups are becoming obsolete.40 Because of their high radar and electromagnetic visibility, proponents hold, carriers have become easy targets for precision-guided missiles.
		Without protection the carrier would just be a big target for a sub/air/sea strike from any number of US assets out there.
		Carrier groups in the future would need ships with phased radar arrays, and the sagacious thing to do would be to build the ships first and then the carriers (just as a person builds a foundation before the roof).

		As for whether or not Han was talking the Falcon's speed at sublight or hyperspace when he called her the fastest in the galaxy, remember in ANH when Luke makes the comment about thinking Han said the Falcon was fast and Han's retort is about jumping to hyperspace and they'd loose them.
		A hyperspace trip's duration is multiplied by the class of hyperdrive the ship uses, so that the lower the number the hyperdrive class is, the faster it goes.
		A Modular Taskforce Cruiser could only carry one MFM at a time, though the DE sourcebook mentions that it was believed Tagge Industries may have been working on mini-MFMs so as to allow a ship to preform multiple functions at once on a smaller scale for each.

		The first 039 is said to have launched the new YJ-82, very likely a C-802 anti-ship missile modified to be fired from a submarine. It may carry the new C43 PRC-made wire-guided torpedo and the Russian TEST 71 wire guided torpedo.
		By early 2003 it was possible to determine from Internet-based reporting that the 168 class made extensive use of Russian weapon and sensor components.
		In addition, the 170 carries 2x Type 730 CIWS, and launch rails for 8x surface-to-surface missiles, which are the same size as the launch rails on the 168, indicating they may be the same missile. There is a helicopter hanger that is large enough to accommodate a single Kamov Ka-28 ASW/Missile guidance helicopter.
