China launched the largest combat ship it has built, the Sichuan, equipped with advanced technology to support both ground troops and air operations at sea.
The new ship features an electromagnetic catapult for launching fighter jets and advanced arrestor technology for landings, enhancing China's naval capabilities significantly.
With aspirations for global operational reach, China's navy modernization includes ambitions for nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, directly competing with the U.S. naval power.
The launch of the Sichuan marks a significant step in China's strategy to assert dominance in maritime disputes, particularly in the South China Sea.
