China's first aircraft carrier was called Donghai?

Recently, the news that China will build its first aircraft carrier spread all over the Internet. From the perspective of the development of China's navy, it is an inevitable choice to build an aircraft carrier, but there is a great controversy about how to name it. The most popular one is the Zedong, followed by a municipality directly under the Central Government. However, it is common at home and abroad to code ships with people's names. For example, American aircraft carriers are mostly coded with the names of successive presidents. Therefore, it is the desire of netizens to name China's first aircraft carrier with the Zedong.

In fact, it is extremely inappropriate and debatable to name China's first aircraft carrier "Zedong". The United States uses the president's name as the code name of the aircraft carrier, because the US navy's weapons and equipment are in the leading position in the world, and it has full confidence to ensure that its aircraft carrier will not be sunk, so it dares to name it like this. China is different, because its weapons and equipment are not leading, and its own strength is not enough, so it takes the name of the founding leader as the code name. Once it is sunk, won't it become a joke? It is not very good to use the name of the municipality directly under the central government as the code name of the aircraft carrier, but it is better than the name of the person.

The most ideal code name for China's first aircraft carrier is named after "East Sea", the second is "West Sea", the third is "South China Sea", and if there is a fourth, it is called "North Sea". In this way, it not only has the symbolic significance of China's navy moving from yellow water to blue water, but also avoids the joke that its leaders are unfortunately "sunk".
