A large tanker may displaced 200,000 tonnes to 400,000 tones. A carrier of 70, 000 tons will looked small.

Can somebody in brief give me an outline of all aircraft carriers?

Everyone knows Liaoning.

Type 001A is STOBAR, conventional powered, right? And two such are to be built? When do we see their official deployment.

Type 002 is CATOBAR? Conventional Powered? When will it be deployed?

Next Big Future: China's first domestic aircraft carrier the Type 001A reported to be launched Dec 26, 2015

To admit I think even if the building progress is amasing I don't think that this date does not makes sense. If You look closely the hull isn't even finished up to the hangar-deck and IMO only to target such a political date is plain stupid unless China wants to launch an empty hull like the Indians... which again does not makes sense.
