http://www.navyrecognition.com/index.ph ... ssile.htmlSouth Korea's Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) released for the first time last week some information on the development of a new high-precision land attack missile, called Tactical Surface Launch Missile (TSLM). Intended for the Republic of Korea Navy (ROK Navy) the TSLM missile is designated as Haeseong II.

Of course no. Kuznetzov already has launch system for P-700 Granit supersonic cruise missiles. She carries 12 cells. Now this LS can be replaced with 3S-14 launch system. This system allows launch various types of missiles - Kalibr, P-800 Onyx.Those are cruise missiles I believe. Odd way to deploy them. Perhaps in response to Tomahawks in Syria.

http://www.navyrecognition.com/index.ph ... ssion.html“The intent behind the aerial refueling capability on the P-8A is to enhance strategic mission effectiveness by extending the range and endurance of the platform,” said U.S. Navy Cmdr. Shannon Hoover, Naval Air Forces Atlantic VX-1 Operational Test and Evaluation Squadron P-8A operational test director. “The team has completed operational tests on the integration of the AGM-84 Harpoon [missile system] for surface warfare and [multi-static active acoustic search systems] integration used in anti-submarine warfare.”

KevinIt needs more land-strike weaponries from the lacks of carrier jets and VLS destroyers.
Even if the Russians deployed them on the carrier before and they are used to make up for a/c, it's remains an odd compromise. To each their own I guess [:)]
China Launched its First Home-Made Aircraft Carrier for PLAN: Type 001A
The launching ceremony of China's second aircraft carrier was held at the Dalian Shipyard of the China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC) on the morning of April 26, 2017. Gen. Fan Changlong, member of the political bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and vice chairman of China's Central Military Commission (CMC) attended the ceremony and delivered a speech.
Five years after commissioning the Liaoning (its first aircraft carrier) China launched this morning its second carrier – the Type 001A. Unlike the Liaoning, Type 001A was fully built in China.
The ceremony was kicked off in magnificent national anthem at 9:00 and a bottle of champagne was broken on the aircraft carrier as a customary way of blessing the ship. After that, the new aircraft carrier was slowly towed out of the dockyard and transferred to the wharf.
The second aircraft carrier is domestically built by China. China started building it in November, 2013. At present, the main hull of this aircraft carrier has been completed and the main system devices including power supply have been installed in place.
Undocking and launching is one of the important nodes of a new aircraft carrier construction, marking that China has made significant phased achievements in designing and building an aircraft carrier independently. Next, the aircraft carrier will debug its system devices and conduct fitting-out as planned, and start mooring tests in an all-round way.
The PLA Navy Commander Shen Jinlong,PLA Navy Political Commissar Miao Hua, and CSIC President Hu Wenming also attended the ceremony.
Differences between Liaoning and Type 001A
It is easy to spot the difference in the island between the Liaoning - transformed by the Chinese from the unfinished Soviet aircraft carrier Varyag - and its new sistership: The new carrier features some upgraded radar arrays, its island is said to be about 10% smaller while the vessel itself is said to have a larger displacement of about 10,000 tons.
Our colleagues from East Pendulum report that, according to a former technical officer of the PLAN, the engineers of the CSIC shipbuilding group also reviewed the internal design of the Type 001A to rectify the "anomalies" noted after the intensive use for nearly five years of Liaoning.
Henry K seems to think that the new nuclear submarines will use a reactor with natural circulation (using the heat generated by the reactor to circulate the coolant) instead of pumps (at least for normal situations, I'm sure there will be pumps as a fallback solution). If that is true this would eliminate pumps as a main noise source unless they switch to water jet propulsion.

China has recently disclosed that reactor with natural circulation has been successfully developed , and in fact was installed on its second-generation SSN/SSBN (093/094). The achievement is recognized by the government and the team that developed the technologies led by Mr Zhang JinLan was awarded the 2016 First-Class China Awards for Science and Technology. Mr. Zhang is the deputy director of Institute 719, the primary research institute of CSIS responsible for designing China's SSN/SSBN.
Mr. Zhang JinLan is profiled in the magazine:

The relevant paragraph on natural circulation reactor:
而在备受关注的核安全方面，张锦岚团队也在新型核潜艇中实现了重大跨越。首先就是实现了核反应堆自然循环。众所周知，潜艇核动力装置的自然循环能力是衡量其安全可靠性能的重要标志之一，所以各国都在竭尽全力提高自然循环能力，也就是指不用冷却剂泵推动，仅靠冷却水的自流就能带走核反应堆堆芯热量的能力。而反应堆的冷却剂泵又正好是核潜艇发出噪声的主要来源之一，因此，一旦实现了核反应堆自然循环，不仅保证了潜艇的安全性，即停电的时候也能保障核潜艇正常工作，而且使潜艇在不开启冷却剂泵的情况下也能向推送装置输出能量，极大地降低了潜艇的噪声。
Here is the corresponding Google translation:
In the concern of nuclear safety, Zhang Jinlan team also in the new nuclear submarines to achieve a major leap. The first is to achieve the natural cycle of nuclear reactors. It is well known that the natural circulation capacity of submarine nuclear power plant is one of the important signs to measure its safety and reliability. Therefore, all countries are making every effort to improve the natural circulation ability, that is, without the coolant pump, The ability to take the nuclear reactor core heat. The reactor coolant pump is just one of the main sources of noise emitted by the nuclear submarine. Therefore, once the natural circulation of the nuclear reactor has been achieved, the safety of the submarine is ensured, that is, when the power failure can guarantee the normal operation of the nuclear submarine, It is possible to output energy to the pusher without opening the coolant pump, greatly reducing the noise of the submarine.
It looks like the noise-output of that class of boats (at least the latest ones) might be lower than previous western estimates:
Rear Adm Ma finally defined his universal ship concept, it's clearly not something in the 055 weight class can do. This is a modern incarnation of the dreadnought.
Air defense: first layer 200-600km using missiles launched from universal electromagnetic launcher, second layer 10-200km using railgun, terminal phase <10km using laser gun.
Surface strike: 600-1000km using cruise or ballistic missiles launched from universal electromagnetic launcher, 200-600km using electromagnetic launched rockets or projectile, <200km using railgun.
Anti submarine: electromagnetic launched anti submarine missile, coilgun for torpedo defense.
I mean, a reloadable electromagnetic launcher with a magazine full of long range missiles, including ballistic missiles, will be huge. My guess is that the ship is either based off a large existing platform, such as 071, or a brand new 20,000t to 30,000t class design, and preferably nuclear powered.
马伟明院士：“全能舰”将颠覆现有海上作战样式
在第十一届中国发明家论坛上，马伟明院士展望未来海战——
　　进入4月以来，美国航母战斗群将驶入朝鲜半岛海域的各种传闻喧嚣尘上，加剧了半岛的紧张局势。看似平静的海面，是各国军事实力较量的主战场之一，如何才能在现代海战中赢得先机呢？
　　“要想赢得战争，亟须舰船平台在能源动力、武器及发射方式上进行颠覆性变革，以技术性创新牵引作战样式创新。”中国科协副主席、中国工程院院士马伟明表示。他是在25日上午在京举行的第十一届中国发明家论坛上作主旨报告时作这番表述的。此次论坛由中国发明家协会、科技日报社等主办，全国政协副主席、中国科协主席、科学技术部部长万钢出席开幕式并致辞。
　　当前世界各国海上作战样式，是按照任务类型设计和建造不同的作战平台，由多个作战平台组成编队，谋求体系作战和精确打击。马伟明认为，以编队为单元的海上作战样式主要存在两大局限，一是平台和武器的建造、维持成本高，经济可承受性差，二是投入的作战平台种类和数量多，前沿传感器系统复杂，协同指挥难度大，电磁脆弱性强。
　　在描述对新的海上作战样式的构想时，马伟明指出，舰载高能武器和全电舰船技术的集成创新与研制成功，将使单艘舰艇实现系统防空、反潜和对海、对岸的精确打击，这将彻底颠覆现有的海上作战样式。电磁轨道炮、电磁火箭弹、线圈炮、激光炮等高能武器的出现，使单舰平台的整体攻防性能和持续作战能力大幅增强，舰船综合电力系统的研制成功，又为高能武器上舰提供了充足的能源支持。
　　如此强大的单舰平台，马伟明称之为“全能舰”，对其攻防性能逐一进行了设想。防空分为3个层次：200—600公里范围，使用可重复自动装填的通用电磁发射装置发射反导导弹，实现点对点防御；10—200公里，利用电磁轨道炮实现目标面拦截；10公里以内，利用激光炮作为最后一道防线，对末端导弹进行拦截。反潜和反鱼雷上，利用电磁发射装置发射反潜导弹对潜艇进行攻击，利用电磁线圈炮对来袭鱼雷进行拦截。
　　在反舰与对陆攻击体系的构想中，“全能舰”将形成3层火力圈：600—1000公里，使用可重复自动装填的通用电磁发射装置发射远程巡航导弹和弹道导弹，完成对海和对岸目标攻击；200—600公里，利用电磁火箭弹（炮），进行对海和对岸目标攻击；200公里以内，利用电磁轨道炮完成对海和对岸目标的攻击，一具电磁轨道炮可将对岸打击能力提高一个数量级。
　　在马伟明看来，我国在舰载高能武器和全电舰船技术两大领域的群体性突破，为海上作战样式变革提供了基础和条件。他表示，若能抓住当前化学能、机械能向电磁能变革的技术发展趋势，充分发挥当前我国在电磁能武器和舰船综合电力系统领域的世界领先优势，先对手一步实现作战样式的创新与变革，必将实现对英美发达国家的后发赶超，并主导和引领未来海上作战样式。（来源：科技日报）

Navy Recognition learned during the show that General Atomics received export approval for EMALS and AAG to the Indian Navy. The Brazilian Navy, French Navy and Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force have also shown interest in those technologies according the the company.
