How advanced is china's military

GFP HULL CLASSIFICATIONS
GlobalFirepower.com (GFP) takes a rather conventional approach to hull classifications regarding per-country naval assets.

Below are descriptions of each type considered:

Aircraft Carriers
These are either conventional- or nuclear-powered forms showcasing an expansive flight deck with hangar elevators for access. This surface is used for the launching and retrieval of fixed-wing aircraft (as a primary function) and rotorcraft (as a secondary function).

In modern navies, Aircraft Carriers represent the flagship of the fleet, making them vital assets.

Only a few select nations maintain an aircraft carrier as part of their surface fleet.

Helicopter Carriers
The Helicopter Carrier primarily supports rotorcraft and may offer facilities for the operation of Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) fixed-wing aircraft such as the F-35 and AV-8B 'jump jets'.

These vessels are typically dimensionally smaller when compared to their Aircraft Carrier brethren. Provision for operating UAVs may also be seen in these vessel types.
