00X/004 future nuclear CATOBAR carrier thread

[Tomboy]

Well specifically in the carriers case with decks that overhang over the entire Drydock, it’s mighty hard to retrieve equipment or move equipment into the drydock if the cranes can’t access it.

Theres also the block module construction method that I see China use over what the US uses where blocks are lowered seperated in the drydock and then merged together into one. One does need quite a lot of room to perform this procedure.

This was how Fujian's hull was pieced together.
While ford on the other hand is built in many much smaller pieces

DL uses tower construction method similar to US shipyards, your concerns are not really found in reality.

Well evidently this isn't very obvious as it's still using and moving large hull blocks together.


Unlike Ford which is nearly entirely built from the ground up, in one spot.

That simply comes down on the exact method, however DL's technique is much closer to US shipyards than JN. There is no reason to believe 004 will be capped at under 330m.
