These are unrealistic numbers. As an example: CVN 78 Ford was composed of 162 so-called "superlifts", the heaviest weighed 1050 tons (which is the maximum load capacity of the huge gantry crane).

You'd have to get involved with shipbuilding before you tell such stories.

Trust me when you have been following Chinese carrier programme since 2006 and and then the day comes when you see not one but two carriers in the water with a 3rd CATOBAR it’s BIG news

Xi jinping is going to make the PLAN great again.

Xi jinping is going to make the PLAN great again.

You can leave out the "again." The PLAN has never been as great as it is today.

Comparing that dock (dock #4 at JN) with DL and Newport News Dock 12...

why do you say that that is the shipyard where the ship will be build ? it surely seems small for a big aircraft carrier project. Why not the bigger dry dock in its left side?
