Wallpaper Aircraft Carrier and SSBN

There has also been some news going out on aircraft carrier and SSBN. First, let's look at aircraft carriers, here is a photo of Varyag from recent times.

Now, we have seen numerous articles talking about China getting ready to build aircraft carrier. I have this article from kanwa's recent article.

This is not saying much, except that switchboard being ordered for aircraft carrier. Afterward, it commented on the possible shipyards for building the carrier. And it also talks about the welding equipment (I think) used for Chinese military ships.

From what I can gather on some of the more reliable sources on Chinese military webs, the indigenous aircraft project is known as the Project 048.

In terms of the supplier, I found a possible list a while back, don't know how accurate it is:
弹射器、拦阻索、特种甲板钢------德阳二重集团（已交付或部分交付）
catapult, arresting gear, special steel deck - Deyang 2nd heavy limited - I think this is the website for one of the subsidiary of this company?

For the steel making part, there are basically 2 steel makers that have already delivered steel for the carrier and a third one that has yet to finish. Once everything is done, they will assess which one meets the requirements.

As for nuclear submarine, we've heard about the 094 being found on satellite imaging by FAS recently. Now, I don't have access to the satellite imaging, but I'm still unconvinced on this. There has been much speculation that the newly discovered ballistic submarine is 092 mod rather than 094. I think the only fair thing to say at this point is to not jump the gun either way. Kanwa mentioned something about 096 design being almost finished in the current edition of Kanwa. There has been one supplier that accidentally revealed it's part of the 095 SSN project a while back, but we have not found anything similar for 096. Like? Aircraft Carrier and SSBN for wallpaper?

Wallpaper Thoughts on recent pla development.

For the past month, we haven't had any new worthy photos coming out, but there are some new designs being talked about. In particular, Richard Fisher's recent article listed several possible new programs. http://www.strategycenter.net/research/pubID.163/pub_detail.asp

First, the mysterious 081 (don't want to get in a debate on whether this is a LHD or LPH)
Now, some form of helo carrier have been discussed on Chinese military bbs for a while. And for sure, there is a need for something like this in PLAN, but there are some major fundamental problems too. The problem is the lack of aerial assets that can go on such a ship. Currently, the domestic options are Z-9C and the naval variant of Z-8F (which just go recently unveiled) and the import options are Ka28/31. Back in 2006, there was a major deal between China/Russia widely discussed for 20 Ka-31 and 40 ka-29. Since then, we haven't heard much about it, since the military cooperation between the two countries seemed to have stalled this year. So, we are down to a helicopter that's too small, a helicopter that is too old and a helicopter that is slight old and a little inaccessible. In the near future, Z-15 and the 10 tonne helicopter under development are possible options in the future. Either way, having a capable naval helicopter has always been an issue for PLAN.

Next, the so called new frigate that China will be building. Richard Fisher stated in his article
"According the French and German sources interviewed at IMDEX, the PLAN is developing a new class of frigate to accompany the Type 054A air defense frigate now in series production. There was apparently a competition between the engines of the French firm SEMT Pielstick and Germany’s MTU, to provide the new diesel engine which will be paired with a gas turbine. MTU won. The new frigate will use two diesels and two turbines, a conventional configuration that could support a range of mission requirements. But the sources interviewed had no insights regarding the size, mission and configuration for this new ship."
In my opinion, this is not a new class per se, but rather a follow up variant (054B). So I think using CODOG arrangement means the following:

Larger displacement -> more space for weaponary
Quieter propulsion -> better for ASW purposes
Improved sensors -> As we saw on 891, an entire new set of sensors are being tested. Maybe it's going on to the remaining 054A or maybe they are for 054B

Finally, there has been some news from the aircraft engine side. It has been brought up recently that Shenyang Liming and Salyut are improving their cooperation in the area of aerospace engine. It was mentionned that the variant 99M is possibly presented for J-10. According to certain sources, Salyut mentioned that China funded part of its development. There are certain requirements for 99M that seemed to be more important for PLAAF than RuAF. Currently, there are speculations on whether or not this cooperation means just sales or licensed production and ToT. We will have to wait and see how this turns out. Like?

Police step up DWI enforcement during the summer

Police step up DWI enforcement during the summer

By TERENCE CORCORAN
THE JOURNAL NEWS

(Original publication: July 8, 2007)

State, local and county police have made more than 18,000 arrests for driving under the influence on Lower Hudson Valley roads since 2002, yet some drivers still insist on getting behind the wheel after knocking back a few drinks.

Although the number of arrests appears staggering, police agencies throughout Putnam, Rockland and Westchester counties remain undaunted in their year-round efforts to get drunken and drugged drivers off the roads.

"You would think that people would get it by now, that our enforcement is not going away," said state police Lt. Douglas Larkin of Troop K in Westchester. "If you're going to drink, do it at home, designate a driver or hire a taxi. We're not saying there's anything wrong with drinking - just drinking and driving."

A statewide effort targeting intoxicated drivers began June 29 and continues through today to coincide with the July 4 holiday and summer vacations. "The Fourth of July holiday is the second deadliest holiday period in terms of impaired driving. Only New Year's is greater," said Westchester County Executive Andrew Spano. "This type of enforcement saves lives and reduces the number of alcohol-related injuries as well."

Since 2002, DWI arrests have been on the rise in all three counties, save for a couple of years when the numbers went down slightly.

"It's always a priority for the state police to look for DWIs," said Capt. Steven Nevins of Troop F in Rockland. "You find that a lot of fatal accidents involve people driving while intoxicated."

In 2002, police in Rockland made 641 arrests. By 2006, there were 996. Putnam had 295 DWI arrests in 2002. It was up to 397 last year. In 2002, police in Westchester charged 2,338 motorists with DWI. Last year, the number was 2,515.

"For whatever reason, some people aren't getting the message," Larkin said. "If you're still out there drinking and driving, we're going to make sure you get the message."

Westchester STOP-DWI Coordinator Tom Meyer said county police will team with local departments this summer to find and arrest drunken drivers.

"Everyone has a cell phone these days. If you've had too much to drink, call a cab," Meyer said.

Police employ a variety of methods to combat drunken driving. These include fixed sites - where they set up a DWI checkpoint at a specific location - and saturation patrols, in which extra officers are put on the roads to search specifically for intoxicated motorists.

Most drunken-driving arrests are made in the evening and overnight, police said, and most drunken drivers implicate themselves by their inability to drive safely.

"The simple fact is that if you're driving drunk, you're not going to keep the car between the lines," Larkin said. "That's when you'll get pulled over."

Trooper Greg Kalarchian, who works the overnight shift in northern Westchester and was among the leaders in DWI arrests by troopers last year in the county, said many drunken drivers make it easy for police.

"Most DWI arrests come from (traffic) stops. They cross the double-yellow line, they weave, or they got stopped for speeding," Kalarchian said.

Kent Police Officer Raymond Beauchesne is always among the leaders of DWI arrests each year in Putnam County. Beauchesne's success in getting drunken drivers off the road is the result of simple observation: If he sees a car weaving, failing to signal a turn or crossing the double-yellow line, he pulls it over.

"He's a very aggressive officer when it comes to DWIs," Kent police Lt. Alex Divernieri said.

Once the driver rolls down the window, Kalarchian said, it's easy to tell if he or she has been drinking.

"The first thing that hits you is the odor of alcohol -it's so obvious," he said. "I've had a few drivers who know they've been drinking and try to play it down, but the odor on their breath gives them away."

Larkin said the worst aspect of drunken driving is having to respond to the accidents, or worse - having to inform a parent that a son or daughter has been killed in a DWI-related crash.

Despite the increased police efforts and advertising campaigns, some people will continue to break the law, said defense lawyer Glen P. Malia of Cortlandt.

"From my observations, there are two different types of DWI defendants," Malia said."There are those who have made the mistake and will never make it again. It's not a stigma but a personal embarrassment, the entire arrest. ... The other defendants are those who have a drinking problem and are likely to recommit."
