I thought you made typos. Should it be "I don't see anything!"

Better question is whether it will enter service before or after Vikrant.

That's in question?

This OSINT blogger is quite upset that China cracked down some military discussions and showed his/her true color

he/she posted some drivels even jumped into the Five-Eyes propaganda plays to destabilize Xinjiang to weaken China using the human rights issue as pretext for propaganda drive!

demanding China to be more transparent with her potentials under the current heavy toxic climate???

he/she demands to know the inner working of China to learn her strength & weakness, and feel offended that the nation won't make it easier for folks like that... hahahaha oh my dear

Again a very blurry image of the Type 003 aircraft carrier.

Many modules sighted in previous photos, on the right side of the drydock, seem to be missing, very likely having been joined with the main hull. Also what look like part of angle deck has been added.

However I don't think this rectangular part s already a piece of the flight deck extensions, it is smaller ... looks IMO more like a platform/scaffold tower ?

At least on the Sandong it looked much larger,

Because the Type 003 is only on the first layer of the flight deck, whereas the Type 002 in that pic was already on the second layer.

can we confirm the third lifter from this picture?

Another blurry update of the Type 003 aircraft carrier taken on 10th April with some changes around the suspected overhang on port side. eems to be a bit larger than on the image taken on 5th April.

It should be in the final modules close to the stern.

The dual engine rooms will soon be sealed, and then they can finish expanding the entire flight deck.

The Chinese Navy is radically modernizing its capabilities. Chief among these are a fleet of aircraft carriers. A new satellite image clearly shows the Type-003 aircraft carrier taking shape in Shanghai, and it is the largest so far.

The Type 003 is a 90,000 - 100,000 tonnes CVN with EMALS and AAG.

Sutton was wrong about the propulsion, and it is indeed nuclear powered as you can see the two white boxes that will serve as the radiation shielding.

Here is how the nuclear reactor is placed within the box.

Time will tell. 2 years ago, J20 powered by WS10G was also farfetched.

All debates will be concluded once the island structure has been placed on the top of the flight deck.

Because the two engine compartments will soon be sealed, and the flight deck will be paved very quickly in the coming summer.

And we might see the appearance of the island structure in the second half of this year.
