China Navy Fujian Commissioned

Commissioned on 5 November 2025 at Yulin Naval Base near Sanya, Hainan, in a ceremony attended by President Xi Jinping. Fujian is China's third aircraft carrier and the first to feature electromagnetic catapults (EMALS) and arresting gear, enabling operations with heavier fixed-wing aircraft and airborne early warning platforms. At approximately 80,000 tonnes and over 300 metres in length, she is the largest warship ever built in Asia. Launched at Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai in June 2022, Fujian completed sea trials in 2024-2025 before delivery to the PLAN.
