Japan is smirking about the Chinese carrier, the trainer not even home-grown and the others based on copying other nation's designs.

Japan commissioned the world's first aircraft carrier in 1922 (from keel-up), the Hosho which saw battle in WWII, scrapped in 1946. Yup, almost 100 years have passed.
