I'm really bad at reading such images.
Is the highlighted part the Type 003?

At this point I'm 60% for conventional power and 40% for nuclear power. I think China def has the technology for a nuclear reactor on a carrier but for this one specifically, they are still going to stick to conventional.

Yep, someone has spotted the anti-radiation shielding box in the shipyard.

BTW, this ship will take into shape in just few months, and we can see that its eventual size will nearly fulfill the entire section of the dry dock.

Keep in mind that this section is 348 meters long, 82 meters wide, and 14.1 meters deep.

The size of the US supercarrier is 333 meters long, 78 meters wide, and 12.5 meters in draft.

If the Type 003 can nearly fulfill the entire section, then it is indeed within the league of the US supercarriers.

That's the pic from yesterday.

Look like they are now entering into the lightspeed mode.

I really hope this is nuclear CVN, so it can sail around the globe extended period and can rival US Navy.
