00X/004 future nuclear CATOBAR carrier thread

This took me some time to find. So it's a part of the shipyard that's on the other side of the Dalian bay completely. Seems to have started construction in late 2000s, then built commercial ships for a decade and then had a large expansion of roofed halls around 2020, after which destroyers were often observed in the docks. Possibly for maintenance or furbishing?
Quite possible that large dock will be making a carrier. Interesting times. That'd make the 3rd separate dry dock in China where carriers have been/will be made. 4th if one counts the dry dock that had the 076 assembled.

Its Dagushan shipyard. We've discussed it here on and off. Dagushan has assembled the first second batch 055 in Dalian and is now in the process of building one more 055 plus apparently two 052D. "ACuriousPLAFan" also discussed this picture in page 663 of the PLAN News thread.
