I know it's just fan art.
But I like it.
I also like the name 精卫

Eh.... it is a bad choice of name, it reminds people of 汪精卫 .

An old but quite clear picture.

So you can make your own judgement.

In English (roughly, feel free to fix if any mistake):

(upper)

Cabin wall drawing without equipment:

• A wall in the middle of a large single room (003)
• Large single room (Ford)
• Four rooms (002)

The Google satellite image showed that the Ford's cabin was a big single room stacked with no walls between the reactor and the turbine. The engine has no bulkhead in the middle.
It also showed that 003 has only the intermediate bulkhead, and no bulkheads between the reactor and the turbine.

(lower)

• Red rectangle: heap (nuclear reactor)
• Blue rectangle: turbine
• Green rectangle: generator
• Black circle: boiler

At first, they said the layout of the type, referring to the position of the heap and the engine, which could be seen by a person with a clear eye after carefully distinguishing the bulkheads: 002 has four rooms, Ford and 003 have large single room, the difference is obvious.

// Thanks @wulff for the correction

This Type 003 nuclear powered carrier will be completed next year or 2 years? Wonder if J-35 project will start soon for this new carrier?
