The United States AC Ford electromagnetic catapult uses medium-voltage AC technology, Chinese 003 uses medium-voltage DC technology, which are completely different technology paths, don't know how China stole American catapult technology.
In fact, Ford AC technology is a wrong tech direction, 003 has surpassed the United States in technology: the total power reserve of the Ford's 4 catapults can only reach 60 units, and the power of the 003's 3 catapults is over 120.
In order to put Fujian(003) into service as soon as possible, the outfitting has already been completed, that is the reason for the delay in launching.
After the power and navigation safety test, Fujian will be handed over to the PLAN for training. According to the style of the PLA, it can be done within half a year.
003 standard displacement 85000 ton, maximum displacement over 100000 ton.
