中国高级海军官员说，中国第一艘航母今年晚些时候将会入役。中国官方的中国日报星期二援引海军副司令员徐洪猛的话说，军方今年有安排这艘前苏联制造的航母入役的计划，但是报道没有提供详情。
中国1998年从乌克兰购买了这艘航母并对此进行了改装。去年首次试航后，这艘航母已经进行了四次海上试验。报道援引其他媒体的消息说，目前航母上已经配置了实物大小的模型飞机。《中国日报》的报道还援引海军少将曹东沈少将的话说，新航母不会被编入某个固定的舰队，但将不断航行。航母入列后，只是增加了一个试验、科研和训练的平台。
A high-ranking Chinese navy officer says the country's first aircraft carrier will officially be placed into service later this year. The China Daily newspaper quotes Deputy Commander Xu Hongmeng on Tuesday saying the military "has a plan" to put the Soviet-built vessel into active duty, but did not go into details.
China bought the vessel from Ukraine in 1998, and has put the refitted ship through four sea trials since its maiden voyage last year. The newspaper quotes media reports saying the warship is currently equipped with life-size model planes. China Daily says it learned Monday from Rear Admiral Cao Dongshen that the new aircraft carrier will not be deployed as part of a single fixed fleet, but will keep traveling. Cao says the carrier will mainly conduct experiments, training and scientific research. |
