The ship Shandong is the first aircraft carrier independently designed and built by China. In 2013, a computer numerical-control (CNC) cutting machine cut the first steel plate, heralding the beginning of its construction. While the construction volume exceeded the sum of 20 ultra-large oil tankers, its building involved more than 10,000 parts and 10,000 sets of equipment, with many special components and devices being developed and installed for the first time.
山东舰是我国自主设计建造的第一艘航母。2013年，数控切割平台上一块钢板被切开，山东舰正式开工建造。它的建造总量超过20艘超大型油轮工程量总和，上万个零部件、上万台套各种设备，许多特种装置是首次研制和安装。
