Newly available photos of the first conventional -- with aircraft catapults and arresting gear -- Chinese navy aircraft carrier named
Fujian after the Chinese province across from Taiwan. The Fujian (CV-18) is in the final stages of construction, though I'm not sure her aircraft are yet ready for operations at sea. Wikipedia indicates that the J-15 Flanker, adapted for catapult launch instead of ski jump, may be the initial strike fighter to be embarked.
The Fujian is a large ship: Something over 80,000 tons full load displacement and is not nuclear-powered. By comparison, the U.S. nuclear-powered CVNs are close to 100,000 tons.
