In port, the 80,000-tonne Fujian aircraft carrier would be impossible to miss. More than 300 metres long and capable of carrying about 60 aircraft, the 5.4bn super-vessel places China second among the world's navies, with three aircraft carriers, though still a long way behind the global leader, the US, which has 11.

It's a matter of days now before Battlefield 6 comes out, so EA is celebrating with not just a launch trailer, but a "launch hype trailer."
