Previously, the Chinese Navy had two aircraft carriers. The first of them – Liaoning – was built based on the unfinished Soviet heavy aircraft carrying the cruiser Varyag, purchased by China from Ukraine, the second – Shandong – was created based in Liaoning. Both ships are equipped with a non-nuclear power plant.
In the US, the aircraft carrier tested an 18-ton bomb
