1) as crobato already pointed out, china has been studying many carrier designs for a long time, she even bought up most of the oldsoviet carrier fleet.
“know how china does not have unless its operate a Aircraft carrier or has used consultants. Its not so simple.”
2) ur getting confused in a loop. by ur logic, no-one can build sth unless they have done it before, but sth new has never been built by someone before, so therefore no-one can ever build anything new.
carreirs have been in service for a long time, and all of the design criteria for a carreir has come out in some way or another by now, its only a matter of finding engineering solutions to those practical problems. while being able to build STs dont automaticlly give china the know-how to build carreris, it does however demonstrate a very high level of engineering ability and compitance. so overcoming all the engineering difficulties associated with designing and building a modern carrier hull is not out of reach of china’s shipbuilding ability.
1) Reverse engineering will not teach you anything about the kind of forces you should expect from a super sonic or sub sonic missile, apart from this, you would imho need specialised FE software written specifically for the types of Impacts you would expect your ship to face. Its not as simple as welding together 2 inch thick steel plates. Withought any previous experience you would not be able to make any decent guesstimates about the Crew quarters which is also important, no point in having a 1000 crew ship where most of the crew are either p£ssed of or tired because some one said, well its only a AC how much different is that from an oil tanker. Things such noise would have to be taken into account, this ship will have to house a small town and it will need to keep them in a fighting state, this means considerations on noise dampners, sound proofing and ventilation in the crew compartments. Quick Exits and escape routes. Shape of galley, food storage area freezers etc. Sanitation equipment, toilets. strength of bulk heads, hinges and locking mechinism. This later bit i know you need experience in, even experience RN guys have to test new bulk heads to make sure they can with stand blasts and certain conditions.
Then you have to think of how to place any amo housing, fuel walls, etc etc.
Their is a marked difference in reading about something and being able to do it practically, and only experience can help you with the later part.
2) I am not getting confused in anything, If you think you can build a AC of todays standards by going it alone you are blinded by nationalist fervour. You would need to consult.
