The shipyard certainly is building the stern to be nearing up against the drydock gate. I suppose the debate is now settled.

00X/004 future nuclear CATOBAR carrier thread

The shipyard certainly is building the stern to be nearing up against the drydock gate. I suppose the debate is now settled.
But that must be already a bit older - maybe 2-3 days - since the said segment is not yet closed.
What I have to say is that this may not be all. The last section of the aircraft carrier will end with a cone protruding in the middle, but at present, 004 does not, so I guess there may be another section, and the white part is probably the support during construction.
I'm pretty sure there is meant to be a small aft section not placed
Damn, this image certainly proves beyond a doubt that the 004 will be a ship that will break records.Maldita sea, esta imagen demuestra sin duda alguna que el 004 será un barco que romperá récords.
That's a perfect image to measure the hull to date. We can see they are actively working on the bow section, with only the bulbous bow missing i think to give us an accurate measure. What is the length so far?
334m including bulbous bow but excluding the missing rear section
Edit: There is a very slim bit of the stern not yet installed
