China's first super-carrier - an 80,000 ton warship called the Fujian - has returned to the port after completing its brief sea trial.

Following a brief sea testing, the 80,000-ton warship known as the Fujian, China's first super-carrier on Friday, has returned to port.

China’s third and newest aircraft carrier, the Fujian, has begun its maiden sea trials, Chinese official media said on May 1, as Beijing strives to boost its anti-access/area denial capabilities against the United States’ forces around the disputed South and East China Seas and Taiwan Strait. The Fujian is China’s largest warship to date.

China’s newest, largest and most-advanced aircraft carrier, the Fujian, took a big step to joining the world’s largest naval fleet on Wednesday as it set out from Shanghai for its first sea trials.

Beijing's maritime force lacks the support systems to match America, despite it's new third aircraft carrier, expert tells Newsweek.

China's first domestically designed aircraft carrier, the Fujian, has completed its sea trials, showcasing advanced features like an integrated propulsion system and electromagnetic catapults. This development marks a significant stride in China's naval capabilities and underscores its efforts to enhance influence in the Indo-Pacific region.
