Comments by "r baxter" (@rbaxter286) on "China’s Junk Aircraft Carrier Fears to Sail? A Big Joke Due to Copycat Failure" video.
If China does not have an actual doctrine for using this unit, there will be real issues with proper escorts, logistics support, and deployment schedules, and that's just the ship and not the airgroup. The airgroup ALSO needs to mesh with the capabilities of the escorts for even mere self-defense, not to mention the SSN that will be trailing this thing everywhere. The pace of US operations require almost a 2 working up to 1 deployed rotation, which merely 3 units, with obvious different capabilities in the mix, will be an issue. They will have to hope the war doesn't break out while the wrong carrier is on duty (i.e., not in pieces in the shipyard) and the wrong airwing is deployed somewhere else.

Why? Are you somehow asserting the project management requirements of that ship was in ANY way comparable to this project?

If the war does not involve the control of deep-water seas, then doctrines based on deep-water experience will be of less use. Perhaps China does not plan to carry hostilities short of outright war into deep-water, for example. You know, they might be planning on brown water operations where deep-water units like submarines are at a disadvantage and where land-based aviation will supplement carrier operations (can you say Battle of Midway).

You REALLY need to use APPROPRIATE stock footage and not just willy-nilly tape stuff together. The video is almost useless because, if you know anything, you realize you cannot take anything you see as anything but comicbook eye-candy. Really disappointing.

Probably China doesn't intend to deploy out of region, so no long endurance steaming is required? How did the US operate using conventional carriers up until lately?
