The ship sounded the whistle, the dock door opened, and the aircraft carrier slowly moved out of the dock and docked at the pier. The launching and naming ceremony ended with the military song of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

Approved by the Central Military Commission, my country's third aircraft carrier was named "People's Liberation Army Navy Fujian Ship" with the hull number "18". Fujian Ship is the first catapult-type aircraft carrier designed and built entirely independently in my country. It adopts a straight flight deck, equipped with electromagnetic catapults and arresting devices, and has a full load displacement of more than 80,000 tons. After the ship is launched, mooring tests and navigation tests will be carried out as planned.

Navy and China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation leaders Dong Jun, Yuan Huazhi, Lei Fanpei, Yang Jincheng, as well as leaders of relevant military and local departments, cadres and staff of ship scientific research and production units, and representatives of officers and soldiers of the troops attended the ceremony.
