Chinese PLAN Project.891 Aircraft Carrier Jiangsu （中国人民解放军海军891航空母舰计划案江苏舰）

In the late 1980s, following the project 707 and the Melbourne plan, China once again proposed a concept of a medium-sized aircraft carrier that is “based on domestic technology and does not exclude the introduction of foreign technology”. Its displacement is expected to be close to 80,000 tons and its length will exceed 270 meters.The carrier uses conventional power, equipped with steam catapults and landing arresting equipment, and its comprehensive performance exceeds that of the later Varyag.The People’s Navy carried out relevant research projects around this project, including the overall structure of the ship, combat system, steam catapult, arresting device, as well as fixed-wing early warning aircraft and fighter aircraft.

进入80年代后期，继707工程和墨尔本计划后，中国再次提出了一种理念为“立足国内、不排斥引进国外技术”的中型航空母舰，其排水量预计将直逼8万吨，长度则将突破270米。该舰采用常规动力，装备蒸汽弹射器及着舰拦阻设备，综合性能超过后来的瓦良格。人民海军围绕该工程项目展开相关研究课题，其中包括舰船总体结构、作战系统、蒸汽弹射器、阻拦装置，以及固定翼预警机和战斗机等。
