Fujian (18; Chinese: 福建舰; pinyin: Fújiàn Jiàn), named after Fujian province, is the third aircraft carrier of the Chinese aircraft carrier programme and the first of the Type 003 class (NATO/OSD Fujian-class CV).^[9] Built by the Jiangnan Shipyard for the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN), Fujian was launched on 17 June 2022 and is undergoing sea trials as of May 2024.^[10] It is China's first CATOBAR aircraft carrier^[11] with a fully indigenous design,^[12] an integrated propulsion system^[13] and three electromagnetic catapults,^[14]^[15]^[4] unlike the ski-jump flight decks of the previous Chinese aircraft carriers.

The Type 003 class was originally unofficially called Type 002 when Shandong, China's then-incomplete second carrier, was believed to be designated Type 001A. Shandong's official designation, Type 002, was revealed during commissioning. Observers hence believed the third carrier will be the Type 003.^[6]
