China's Fujian aircraft carrier makes port post its first full-force training exercise amid spiking tensions with Japan

Beijing, Nov 18 (UNI) China's newly developed Fujian aircraft carrier returned to port today, after PLA personnel conducted a training mission with the carrier-based strike group, following its diplomatic fallout with Japan, reportedly marking its "first maritime live-force training," after it was commissioned on Nov 5.
A home-designed vessel, the Fujian is China's third aircraft carrier, and its first indigenously developed carrier, and is right now the world's largest conventionally powered warship.
Displacing more than 80,000 tonnes and equipped with an advanced electromagnetic catapult system and arresting gear, the carrier is intended to mark a major leap in the PLA Navy's power-projection capabilities.
