As reported by the Xinhua News Agency, on May 1, 2024, the third Chinese aircraft carrier Fujian (Fujian, tail number "18") first went to sea from Shanghai for factory sea trials. The aircraft carrier Fujian, designated as Project 003, was built at the shipbuilding enterprise of Jiangnan Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd. (as part of the Chinese State Shipbuilding Corporation China State Shipbuilding Corporation - CSSC) on Changxing Island in Shanghai and will become the largest warship of the PLA Navy.

The Fujian ship, tail number "18", is China's third aircraft carrier. Fujian is the first ejection-type aircraft carrier designed and built entirely independently by China, without, allegedly, the use of foreign components and engineering support. It has a straight flight deck, is equipped with electromagnetic ejection and locking devices and has a total displacement of more than 80,000 tons.

Sweden is considering the possibility of increasing the number of surface warships and submarines in the country's Naval Forces.

One of the most significant achievements of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in terms of building defense is considered to be the legendary "Surovikin line".
