Surely 001 & 001A are no STOVL carriers
All these are just speculative new, I will wait for official announcement. Personally I don't think China is in the rush to build 002A when that the catapult and related aircrafts are still in experimental phase especially the carrier AWACS. Unless we want to make 002A as experiemental ship as Liaoning.
Where do these "002A" and "003A" come from ?
I'm "happy" to see that imagination of human being has no limit...

When I checked the official blog of POP3,...
And the Type 003 turns out to be surprisingly huge, even bigger than the CVN-78.
And you all take This for granted & confirmed??? I do not want to be again as so often the one who calls to be rational and more careful. IMo it is much too early to be sure that the final specifications of 002 or eben 003 are finalised. Snd even if, i am sure they are a such closely guarded secret that they wont be known in any forum.
By The way you were noting, that the current chinese nuclear reactors are insufficient ... While at the same time you are stating 003 will be larger than the Ford-class... That dors not make any sense than being wishfull thinking since esp. the power output will dramatically determine the size of any new Carrier.
As such i ask for being more patient. There are surely interesting times ahead, but we should wait and see...

Agree it's better to wait for good official new than to waste time on a mislead false sensational fan boys speculation. Up until now we haven't see video regarding how China perform EMAL or steam catapult to eject J-15 into the air and people are bragging about 002A.
View attachment 323328 View attachment 323329 View attachment 323330 View attachment 323332 POP3 is an ex-PLAN official with decades spent in navy service, and is a naval institute insider, currently still involved in services related to PLAN ship building development. His words are like gospel in Chinese military forum.
That I think the above speaks well on his authority. Though we must also recognised the final decision on ship design rest on the highest central committee in Zhongnanghai. But then POP3 is possibly one of very few highly reliable "leakers" that the authority sanction.
POP3 = fanboy???
Among the Chinese netizens, perhaps no one knows the PLAN more than him.
Of course, he is retired right now, not all of his speculation is 100% correct, but he does have an idea about the future plan of the PLAN.
I don't know this guy but for me there is no difference from fanboy or expert when they make speculative new
He was one of those experts that involved in China's aircraft carrier program, and his identity can be confirmed.
He was also the first person who leaked (with the authorization of course) the information online about the Type 055, Type 001A, Type 002 and so on.
Maybe the leak is premature ...don't you think? we haven't seen a single J-15 perform catapult test on land and now we talk about 002 with EMALS or steam catapult? I'm eager as much as you know the 002A type but what I want to say it's better off wait for Official statement than just discuss on speculation that if one day Chinese official statement that we gonna build a 002A ski jump carrier again...then we will just fill with deception.
If non-Chinese do not know who POP3 is, that I can understand.
However, if a serious Chinese military watcher, resides in Mainland China, speaks and write in Chinese, and frequently visit Chinese military forum, yet have no idea on the great respect earned by Pop3 with his numerous articles, I say no further.
Just take somtime off to visit this website.
