CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread

[H2O]

In the future smaller units may promise an advantage again.

I'm expecting a dedicated drone carrier. I can see them repurposing their STOBAR carriers for it.

This is the dedicated 003 thread, so you are right.

From whom did you hear 003 would be 350 meters long and 110,000 tons heavy?

These modules are being built quickly.

To admit I don't know if these few images are a proof fora "quick build", IMO even more to the contrary. I think these are still the same modules we know from the very first images and therefore we know only this module so far.

There are two modules now. We've only seen photos of one module, and sketches of two modules, but not two together in a photo.

It looks like the first one is on the right, and the one on the left (in front of the old module) we haven't seen before.

Coming together nicely

Hopefully we start to see the coming together by end of 2018

Start to take shape in 2019 and launch in 2020

Now that's what I call agile development! I can't wait to see the minimum viable product in a few years. Ship it! Can always release emergency patch day 1.

Wonder if Jack Ma will be at the launch party.
