My comment:
(a) Implicit in this article is China is not building the samll-size
aircraft carrier, such as what Japan and Thailand have, strictly for
helicopters.

Naval War College (Newport, Rhode Island).

A quote from Secretary of Defense Robert Gates' April 17, 2009, speech at
the Naval War College, at page 22 of the report:

"The Royal Navy’s greatest defeat in World War II – the sinking of the
capital ships H.M.S. Repulse and the brand new Prince of Wales by Japanese
aircraft just days after Pearl Harbor– was due in part to a command with
little appreciation for air power, and in particular the
threat posed by a single, air-delivered torpedo.

My comment:
(1)
(a) HMS Repulse (1916)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Repulse_(1916)
(a Renown-class battlecruiser)
(b) HMS Prince of Wales (53)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Prince_of_Wales_(53)
("HMS Prince of Wales (pennant number 53) was a King George V-class
battleship")

(2) Discussion about JL-2 missile and aircraft carrier appears in pp. 9-11.
Sorry, guys, JL-2 has not been born yet; in the future, maybe, but who knows?
