CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread

- Start date
Fzgfzy has some fresh information regarding the Type 002:
~70,000 tons (likely standard displacement, which would mean 80,000+ tons full load), three catapults and two elevators. There's some speculation saying this is a sign that construction on the 002 is underway.
He also has another surprise for us:
~35,000-ton Landing Helicopter Dock with aft elevator. Make of this what you will...
where in that thread does he refer the tonnage of the ships you mentioned here? i couldnt find it. My translation doesnt get it. He mentions tonnage, but its not the same as you posted here.
It's written on the pictures, in Chinese characters.
Intrepid
Major

EDIT: Forgot the
Question. did they use regular paper or a paper napkin to draw up these plans? Just kidding!!!
The top drawing is similar to Franklin D Roosevelt, Coral Sea & Midway after their major conversions performed from 1954 to 1960 called (SCB-110), which included an angled deck, relocation of her elevators to the deck edge, new steam catapults etc..etc..
Coral Sea after SCB-110 re-fit as she appeared 1960.

And of course this one is similar to the now out of service Tarawa class LHA;

Not quite. the USS Tarawa has two elevators, one rear and one on the port side.
Here is the model of the suppose China LHA (without the rear elevator).
