Deino, I appreciate the way you mark dates in the file name now, e.g., 20170701.

Almost finished. Typical Chinese speed.

Next, type 002!

There will be two Type 002 coming at the same time. It seems that JNCX will start the Type 002 by the end of this year, so just one year delay for the EMALS change. I think DL will also start to focus on the Type 002 after the Type 001A starting the sea trial in the next year.

So about the expected time when the dry-dock is empty again after both 005 DDGs were launched !?

Some rumors suggest that the dry dock of the Type 001A will be later used to build the Type 075, while DL's Type 002 will be built in somewhere else, not sure if it is the one that currently builds the Type 055.

There is also rumor says that the first type 002 will not be built in Jiangnan, Shanghai.
Instead, the first 002 will be built in Dalian.

I don't know what to believe now.

There are many dry-docks.

We will see, but the CV-18 that got delayed is the one from JNCX.

Both shipyards are ready now, once the redesignation with the EMALS is completed, the CV-18 from JNCX and the CV-19 from DL will roughly start at the same time.

The place where the 055s being built is not a dry dock, it is a slip-way yard connected to the floating platform in the "launching pool". IMO, due to the size of 002, the "launching pool" might be a little small.

There is a dry dock No. 4 next to the slip-way yard which was built with aircraft carrier in mind during construction of the JNCX complex.

This is a very old photo showing the dry dock. So far no navy ships have been built in this dry dock yet. 002 is expected to be the first one.

JNCX got awarded with the CV-18 of the Type 002 since 2015, the 150th anniversary of the shipyard.

If it wasn't the delay for the EMALS, the official construction of the laying down could likely be started as soon as the Fall 2015.

The CV-18 was already awarded to JNCX, but the construction got temporarily halted for a year due the decision for the EMALS. And soon we will see the CV-19 being awarded to DL.

By 2018, it will be the 120th anniversary of the Dalian shipyard.

Huh. Why does a coin with a valuation of 10 RMB exist? Can something commemorative even be spent?
