原文
摘錄自11月8日香港《文匯報》：我國第一艘電磁彈射型航空母艦福建艦入列授旗儀式在早前舉行，深受中央重視。福建艦入列是中國建設世界一流海軍取得的歷史性突破，也是中華民族偉大復興征程上的重要里程碑，不僅標誌着中國海軍正式邁入三航母時代，更象徵着中國航母事業實現了「從無到有」至「從有到強」的跨越式發展，成為中國科技自立自強和綜合國力全面提升的重要體現，為維護國家主權、安全與發展利益提供堅實保障。
福建艦的入列，是中國航母發展史上的一次代際跨越，標誌着中國航母已躋身世界先進行列。作為全球少數採用電磁彈射技術的航母之一，福建艦創造了常規動力航母搭載電磁彈射系統的全球先例，其摒棄了傳統蒸汽彈射路徑，直接瞄準世界最前沿技術，展現了我國軍工科技的雄厚底蘊和前瞻布局。
電磁彈射系統不僅大幅提升了艦載機的起飛效率和出動頻率，更使戰機能夠滿油滿彈起飛，極大延伸了作戰半徑和滯空時間，配合殲-35隱形戰機、空警-600預警機等新型艦載機，福建艦形成了體系化、信息化的作戰能力。
我國航母跨越式的發展成就，關鍵在於依靠我國自主設計、自主研發、自主建造，是「把核心技術掌握在自己手中」的生動實踐。從遼寧艦的引進改造，到山東艦的自主建造，再到福建艦的技術跨越，我國航母發展每一步都走得堅實而有力，充分體現了我國在高端裝備製造、系統工程整合和前沿科技應用上的全面突破。
隨着福建艦入列，我國海軍正式進入三航母時代，極大地拓展了海上防禦縱深和遠海作戰能力。有軍事專家指出，三航母配置可實現「一艦戰備、一艦訓練、一艦維修」的良性循環，確保在任何時期都具備持續作戰能力；若有需要，三航母編隊更可形成強大的聯合打擊力量，其作戰效能遠非簡單疊加。在戰略層面，福建艦的作戰範圍可覆蓋至所謂「第二島鏈」，顯著增強了我國在西太平洋地區的戰略存在和影響力。
這不僅提升了維護國家主權和海洋權益的能力，也為應對複雜國際形勢、防範外部干涉提供了堅實保障。中國始終堅持和平發展道路，發展航母並非為了軍備競賽，而是為了捍衛國家統一、領土完整與發展利益，是作為負責任大國的必要擔當。
福建艦的快速入列——從下水到服役僅用三年，海試至形成初步戰鬥力進度超預期——充分體現了我國在大型艦艇建造、組織管理和人才培養的全方位高效協同發展。能夠以「中國速度」推進福建艦建設，是因為有國家工業體系、科技研發和人才隊伍合力形成的強大支撐，這不僅反映了我國造船工業與海軍建設的成熟，也為後續更先進航母的研發與建造積累了寶貴經驗。
福建艦的入列並非終點，而是新征程的起點。從「零的突破」到「三艦齊發」，從「學習借鑑」到「引領創新」，我國航母的發展歷程，正是國家綜合實力從追趕到並跑、再到領跑的縮影。福建艦的入列，不僅是軍事成就，更是民族自信的彰顯，是中國人民團結奮鬥、自立自強、勇攀高峰的生動寫照。

Fujian Aircraft Carrier Commissioned: Navy Enters Three-Carrier Era
The commissioning and flag-presenting ceremony for China's first electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier, the Fujian, was held earlier and received significant attention from the central leadership. The Fujian's entry into service marks a historic breakthrough in China's drive to build a world-class navy and is an important major milestone on the journey towards the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It not only signifies that the Chinese Navy has officially entered the three-carrier era but also symbolises the leap in China's aircraft carrier programme from "none" to "strong", serving as a vivid demonstration of China's self-reliance in science and technology and its comprehensive national strength. It provides a solid guarantee for safeguarding national sovereignty, security, and development interests.
The commissioning of the Fujian represents a generational leap in the history of China's aircraft carrier development, placing Chinese carriers among the world's most advanced. As one of the few carriers globally to employ electromagnetic catapult technology, the Fujian sets a worldwide precedent for a conventionally powered carrier equipped with an electromagnetic launch system. By abandoning the traditional steam catapult pathway and directly targeting the most cutting-edge technology, it demonstrates the depth and foresight of China's defence industry. The electromagnetic catapult system not only greatly enhances the take-off efficiency and sortie rate of carrier-based aircraft but also enables fighters to launch with full fuel and munitions, significantly extending combat radius and loiter time. Combined with new carrier-based aircraft such as the J-35 stealth fighter and the KJ-600 early airborne warning aircraft, the Fujian has formed a systematic and information-based combat capability.
The leap-forward achievements in China's carrier development stem fundamentally from reliance on independent design, research and development, and construction—a vivid example of "keeping core technologies in our own hands". From the introduction and refit of the Liaoning, to the independent construction of the Shandong, and now to the technological leap of the Fujian, every step in China's carrier development has been solid and powerful, fully demonstrating comprehensive breakthroughs in high-end equipment manufacturing, systems engineering integration, and the application of cutting-edge technologies.
With the Fujian's commissioning, the Chinese Navy has officially entered the three-carrier era, greatly expanding the depth of maritime defence and far-seas combat capability. Military experts point out that a three-carrier configuration can achieve a virtuous cycle of "one carrier on combat readiness, one in training, and one in maintenance", ensuring sustained combat capability at any time. When necessary, a three-carrier formation can generate powerful joint strike power, with operational effectiveness far beyond simple addition. At the strategic level, the Fujian's operational range can extend to the so-called "second island chain", significantly strengthening China's strategic presence and influence in the Western Pacific. This not only enhances the ability to safeguard national sovereignty and maritime rights and interests but also provides a solid guarantee for responding to complex international situations and deterring external interference. China has always adhered to the path of peaceful development; the development of aircraft carriers is not for an arms race but to defend national unity, territorial integrity, and development interests— an essential responsibility of a major power.
The rapid commissioning of the Fujian—from launch to service in just three years, with sea trials and the formation of initial combat capability progressing ahead of schedule—fully reflects the all-round, efficient, and coordinated development of China's large warship construction, organisational management, and talent cultivation. The ability to advance the Fujian's construction at "Chinese speed" is due to the powerful support formed by the synergy of the national industrial system, scientific and technological research and development, and talent teams. This not only reflects the maturity of China's shipbuilding industry and naval construction but also accumulates valuable experience for the research, development, and construction of subsequent, more advanced carriers.
The commissioning of the Fujian is not an endpoint but the starting point of a new journey. From "zero breakthrough" to "three carriers in service", from "learning and emulating" to "leading innovation", the development trajectory of China's aircraft carriers is a microcosm of the nation's comprehensive strength moving from catching up to running alongside, and then to leading. TheFujian's entry into service is not only a military achievement but also a manifestation of national confidence—a vivid portrayal of the Chinese people's unity, self-reliance, and determination to reach new heights.
