The post is about a study on a 1:65 scale model of a "container ship". The Model has a waterline length of 4.86m, a Beam of 0.65m and a Draught of 0.2m.

If we multiply those by 65x to get the full size, it turns out to be 316m long, 42.25m wide, and 13m deep. Suspiciously similar to of a carrier in size and ratios. What is even more perplexing is that in this "container ship" study, the 3d models and diagrams suspiciously represent something that looks like carrier rather than a container ship.

The model also appears to have 4 propeller shafts, compared to the usual 1-2 of a bulk carrier. The calculated displacement of this ship is 110k tons.

The measurements on the Beam and Draft of this "container ship" are similar to those in the drydock at Dalian.
But isn't the type 004 supposed to be 330 to 340m long so its probably not it
