세계 두 번째 전자기 사출 항모 푸젠, 동시 이착륙이 안 되는데 왜 취역했나

China's Fujian is the world's second aircraft carrier equipped with electromagnetic catapults, following the U.S. Ford-class. However, it is impossible to launch and land aircraft simultaneously from its deck. This is because the landing zone encroaches on the position of the forward catapults, and a former U.S. Navy Captain estimated its operational efficiency to be only about 60 percent of that of the Nimitz-class. This video calmly explains why they did not stop despite knowing the flaws, why China—a latecomer—pushed ahead with electromagnetic catapult technology that even the U.S. is still taming, and why this massive vessel is connected to our West Sea. This commentary is based on publicly available data from sources such as CNN, DOT&E, and USNI News. Commissioning is the stage of fleet integration, while full operational capability is a different stage; the Type 004 nuclear carrier is currently under construction, and ROK-U.S. shipbuilding cooperation is still in the agreement and MOU stages, so these points should not be treated as definitive conclusions.
