Tang’s Asian branch of the United States International web site November 2 published an article entitled “Asian countries are keen on buying an aircraft carrier,” the article. Studying in Russia, the former Indian Navy captain Daiweidela – Cecil (DevindraSethi) in the article on Japan, India, Australia, South Korea, Russia and China, Asia-Pacific countries, including accelerated in recent years carried out a detailed plan of the carrier introduction, and predicted that Asia will become the next hot spots of conflict of interest in an offshore area. Of course, the countries the increase in military aircraft will also be put through the economic crisis in the Western Shipyard winter’s “life-saving straw.”

The article said that in recent years, Japan, India, Australia, South Korea, Russia and China have set off a burst of buying and building an aircraft carrier the globe. Of these countries suddenly began to take the sea air capacity, the command of the sea that countries thinking is changing. Interestingly, these patterns varied country almost simultaneously against the carrier plans to accelerate its investment in and growth. Author exclaimed, “Is this a new round of arms in Asia, the harbinger of the cold war?.”

According to the article carrier that shares the main focus boom in East Asia because of widespread unresolved territorial disputes, especially the maritime boundary dispute. If the disputed waters, islands and found near deep-sea oil and gas reserves, then the surrounding countries would have claimed ownership of these important waters. Only by so doing lead to countries in the region have to strengthen the building of naval armaments.

At the same time, these countries are also the carrier’s desire to combat the recession as Europe suffered, and not to relax the restrictions on technology exports have been instigated. European shipyards is currently the main economic income to rely on the limited relief provided by the Government money because in the past the government has set limits on high-tech export markets. But with the economic rise of East and Southeast Asia, they have become the international arms market’s major arms buyers.

In addition, because the U.S. military withdrawal from Iraq, and perhaps a possible withdrawal from Afghanistan. Strategic contraction strategic vacuum left by so many people believe that Asia may be the next flashpoint. Therefore, Asian countries have started chasing the main symbol of sea power – an aircraft carrier.

“India must be equipped with the Navy aircraft carrier” is a former prime minister Jawaharlal – Nehru (JawaharlalNehru) vision. The realization of this dream, which have allowed the Indian Navy at a competitive advantage. As the Indian aircraft carrier has been used up to now and the service ultra-40 years of experience. And the carrier, whether in war or peace times, for the Indian navy and air forces have played a great role in the improvement.

In the next 10 years, India will have at least two aircraft carriers, respectively, in service since 1987′s “virrat” was (INSViraat), and now Russia, Severodvinsk (Severodvinsk) shipyard converted 40005-kiloton “Vikram Mathias” was (INSVikramaditya). The latter was formerly the Soviet Union, “Admiral Gorshkov” was medium-sized aircraft carrier. “Virrat” was recently in India to accept a modern conversion is expected to be in service until 2015; and “Vikram Mathias” was problematic although the funds, but the Russians had promised that the earliest start sea trials in 2011.

In addition, India’s first fully self-designed and built a new “Vikrant” level (Vikrantclass) aircraft will be national Cochin (Cochin) is responsible for the construction of the shipyard. The level of the first ship was a start in 2008, and plans launched in 2010. India is now all ongoing construction and modification of the carrier, all reach containing three types of planes: British production “Sea Harrier”, Russian-made MiG-29KUB and as well as the manufacturing company Hindustan Aeronautics in Bangalore produced two-seater light aircraft made The carrier-based aircraft version of the LCA.

Article also commented that some countries in Asia, the Indian Navy’s rise as a military and commercial interests of its harmful. This is difficult to Gaidiao old ways of thinking, it is proposed that the Government of India must be more active and enterprising maritime diplomacy.

China’s purchase of aircraft carrier Admiral Liu Huaqing’s strategy is based on the proposed development strategy, he had at the Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) of the Naval War College to learn to follow the Admiral Gorshkov. In the Kremlin, the Chinese admiral who had a difficult task, that is, to change the China Central Political Bureau of the Army’s strategic thinking as the most important point of view. Although he has done a lot of work, but according to our recent development of the Chinese navy to judge, they still adhere to the “naval auxiliary theory” strategy.

China also through the early years of “aircraft carrier to buy” strategy to gain initial understanding of aircraft carriers. China in 1998, purchased from Ukraine in the Soviet era is not to build a complete aircraft carrier “Varyag” was (Varyag), through the long and difficult navigation, and finally in 2000 at its northeastern city of Dalian Shipyard to understand and transform . Recently, there are photographs showing the carrier painted on the People’s Liberation Army Navy combat ships of the standard color.

The outside world has always been rumors, the Chinese purchase of the vessel large ships is aimed at the use of Macau as an international casino. Author revealed in the text, in the early years, in a meeting with the Macao delegation learned, they are actually from the People’s Liberation Army Navy. When the author asked about their views on the warship, the author told the Chinese say, to have it restored to the “Kuznetsov” class standards of operational status and is not easy, but not necessarily impossible, as long as the money enough. Chinese officials who have the smile seemed to indicate everything – money is not a problem for China. This also shows that China’s pursuit of their dream of an aircraft carrier seriousness.

However, to start the 60000-ton ship, a medium-sized aircraft carrier for China is also an unknown leap. It requires not only a mother ship, the corresponding combat aircraft and helicopters, but also need for other machinery and equipment and 2,500 highly skilled crew, and every day around the clock is extremely accurate, zero-error control.

Authors believe that, if converted into the hull should have a current operational status of the aircraft carrier at least 10 years. At the same time, as opposed to general ships, the aircraft carrier’s control staff whose learning curve will also become very slow and difficult. To learn from scratch, human-computer interaction, until a smooth state will be many obstacles.

Recently, military intelligence reports indicate that China also plans to build shipyard in Shanghai Hudong made two new aircraft carriers. Obviously, they will be very similar to No. Varyag, but will be equipped with nuclear propulsion systems.

Japan, is stepping up its construction of “day to” level (Hyuga) a helicopter destroyers, the ship is a 18,000-ton class light aircraft carriers, amphibious helicopter can carry. Of course, accumulated over the past few decades of experience in the construction of a light aircraft carrier to judge, the Japanese shipyards should all have the same or greater level to build an aircraft carrier capability.

Japan’s new cabinet’s policy direction recently said it would re-examine with the United States in the past, signed a military agreement. If the new US-Japan military regime more inclined to “go it alone”, and the Cabinet also requested the withdrawal of the U.S. Navy base in Okinawa, Japan’s navy will have to win more military units.

The Australian Government has also made a bold decision to re-purchase of an aircraft carrier, and has ordered two “Canberra” level (Canberra) aircraft carrier. If in the Malacca Strait to Australia’s northern waters near a vessel to take hostile action against Australia, then the Australian side for the protection of this piece of water will be necessary. Australia needs to protect the coastline, 500 miles away from the air force, while the Australian side of existing shore-based aircraft can not complete this task.

Plans to build the two “Canberra” class will be similar to India’s “virrat” level, is expected to be in service in 2014. Can carry 18 MRH-90 helicopter operations. However, the Australian Navy is currently facing the biggest problem is its ability to retain well-trained military personnel. There are also reports that the Australian navy also discussed the potential to transform Christmas Island, “into a unsinkable” aircraft carrier.

South Korea’s imports from the United States in 2007, equipped with the Aegis system, 18,600-ton’s “Air Warfare Destroyer.” The amphibious ship has a certain capacity, currently only carry helicopters. Said the South Korean navy in the future will be four “Dokdo” level (Dokdo) amphibious assault ship, the main objective is to deal with North Korea Navy.

Based on national pride and the desire to regain the dominant sea power capacity of the Soviet era, Russia has also recently joined the aircraft carrier makes the buying nations. It is reported that Russia will buy a French “Mistral” level (Mistral) amphibious assault ship. Russia’s “Kuznetsov” was (Kuznetsov) aircraft carriers in Europe and the Mediterranean waters, has been in service for many years, the equipment used experienced Su -33 fighter. They also intend to in 2009 years, in the “Kuznetsov” was the successful flight test of new carrier-based aircraft MiG -29. And based on the “V” class submarines transformation from a modern nuclear-powered submarines, but also very good with the use of aircraft carrier battle groups.

According to Russian media reports, the Russian Navy had planned to in 2025, in the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean to maintain six new aircraft carriers, combat capability, although this plan had to undo the last due to economic reasons, but Russia in the Asia-Pacific or other regions, there is more than any were faster and the speed of the reconstruction of naval power. This is mainly due to its strong shipbuilding facilities, scientific and technological base and R & D facilities.

Protect oil and gas-rich peninsula in Siberia, the Russian Government’s key objective, because this region is Russia’s energy exports to China and an important pillar of European-style energy base.

Looking around us, from the Pacific Coast to the Indian Ocean up to the Suez Canal, from Vladivostok to the northern waters of Australia, almost filled with the economic rise of the city. The two fastest-growing economies – China and India, which generated a huge merchandise trade is almost totally dependent on maritime transport. Marine tourism is also rising, a large cruise sailed from the West are entering the Singapore and Hong Kong and other places.

However, this region’s security problems are on show, regional economic imbalance of power could lead to friction and conflict-ridden sea. Only the carrier can effectively provide air power beyond the sea surface, which is pursued by the Navy in this region forces.

This demand is much suffering an economic crisis of the European shipyards is undoubtedly also a very attractive market. Because many countries in Asia does not yet have the construction of key infrastructure and aircraft manufacturing capability. In turn, the Western economy is in a downturn phase, for Asian countries to build an aircraft carrier is also bustling, an excellent opportunity. Because they will be more than usually easily obtained from the Western military technology and infrastructure construction support. At the same time and save them to go beyond the economic recession has become a shield for high-tech export restrictions.

In the final, the author is expected to: Asia-Pacific countries to build an aircraft carrier in 10 years will reach 100 billion U.S. dollars in market size; while the next 50 years, the infrastructure to support the cost of these ships also require an additional 100 billion U.S. dollars; the next 50 years on the weapons and equipment , aircraft, helicopters and related systems of procurement will also be spending over 100 billion U.S. dollars. And the little aircraft carrier set sail alone in support of aircraft carrier battle groups have spent a large amount of costs to include in battle cruisers, destroyers, frigates and other high-tech ships. These investments in the next 10 years, at least 200 billion U.S. dollars will go to Europe, Russia and the United States pocket.
