What did the Washington naval conference mostly deal with?
The Treaty restricted the size, type, armament and tonnage of the Navies of the UK, US, Japan, France and Italy with the US and the UK being allowed fleets of equal size and composition at 525,000 tons and 135,000 tons of aircrart carriers. France and Italy were allowed a much smaller fleet at 175,000 tons with 60,000 tons of aircraft carriers and Japan was restricted to 315,000 tons and 81,000 tons of aircraft carriers. In fact each nation began cheating on the agreement almost from the start and the treaty was not renewed in 1936.
How many aircraft carriers in Chinese Navy?
China currently does not have any aircraft carriers in service. However during the late 90's an ex-Soviet aircraft carrier called the Varyag was purchased by a commercial Chinese company in which the Chinese Navy bought and took over. The ship weighs 67, 500 tonnes. It is undergoing a refit and as of 2011 it is said through satellite pictures and close up pictures that the refit is nearly complete with a complete overhaul of the ships exterior. It is said that sea trials will be under way in late-2011. China have also expressed interest in building an indigenous aircraft carrier with the possible purchases of several blue prints from several countries such as Spain and Russia. In 2007 China purchased landing equipment which is speculated that it will be used to train Chinese pilots landing aircraft on aircraft carriers. More recently in 2008 and early 2009 reports came about suggesting China would start building two aircraft carriers in the tonnage size of 50-60,000 tonnes per aircraft carrier and to be finished by 2015.
