Fujian, also known as the Type 003 aircraft carrier, is a Chinese aircraft carrier that is currently being outfitted for the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) of China. It was given its name after the province of Fujian. The Fujian, China's first wholly indigenously designed aircraft carrier, launched on June 17, 2022. Fujian is China's first aircraft carrier which features a CATOBAR system in addition to electromagnetic catapults. Its introduction has solidified China's status as a leading competitor among shipbuilding firms worldwide.
Because of the COVID shutdown in Shanghai, the launch of the Fujian, which is China's first domestically designed and built catapult aircraft carrier, was delayed by two months. It was supposed to be released on April 23, when the People's Liberation Army Navy was celebrating its 73rd anniversary.
The Fujian has a displacement of more than 80,000 tonnes. According to naval experts, it may take some time for Fujian to become operational. By 2025, PLAN may start sending aircraft carriers to the Indian Ocean.
