WEL Pump congratulates China aircraft carrier on its first step into water

WEL Pump hereby congratulates our national aircraft carrier on its first step into water.

It is reported that on April 26, the diving ceremony of the second aircraft carrier manufactured in China is held in the morning at Dalian Shipyard belonging to China Shipbuilding Industry Group. Fan Changlong, the member of the political bureau of China Communist Party’s Central Committee as well as the vice president of Central Military Committee attended the ceremony and made a speech.

At about 9 am, the ceremony began with the magnificent national anthem. Following international conventions, bottle-throwing rite is carried out after ribbon-cutting. On the smash of a bottle of champagne at the head of the aircraft carrier, gorgeous strips of colors are ejected from the two sides of the carrier, along with the ringing sirens sent out from all ships around. Attendees on site applauded warmly. The aircraft carrier is slowly pulled out of the dock and wharfed.

The second aircraft carrier is developed and manufactured by our country independently.The building of this carrier is started in November, 2013. In March 2015, it started to be built inside the dock.   By far, the main ship body of the aircraft carrier has been completely built up. The equipment of main systems such as power system and electric system have been installed properly. Getting out of dock and entering water is an important point of the construction of aircraft carrier, marking the staged achievement of aircraft carriers designed and built independently by our country. Next, as planned, this aircraft carrier will take system equipment debugging and fitting-out construction, followed by a full range of mooring test.

Leaders from the navy and China Shipbuilding Industry Group, Shen Jinlong, Miao Hua and Hu Wenming as well as leaders, researchers, staffs from relevant navy and local departments and representatives of officials and soliders who have took part in the construction all attended this ceremony.

WEL Pump would like to express our sincere congratulations to the success of the second aircraft.
