CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread

[SinoSoldier]

I have to admit that I thought that we would see definitive pictures of the next carrier building by this time.

I wonder when we shall see it now.

Hopefully in the upcoming year.

There were a couple of photos of what seems to be modules a few pages back.

Might require other months even seasons for something obvious.Just personal view.

Following some bloggers is a waste of time and this is one of them.

But anyway, what is this strange part then?

There are tons of blocks in a shipyard that seem strange to ordinary people like us.

I'm more interested in the development of new J-15 variants as well as the 5th-generation carrier-based fighter. The former is especially late to the game since it would need to equip the Type 002 (CV-17) in addition to the 003.

They have two years to go until 002 needs its own aircraft.

I cant locate this photo in JN shipyard, certainly not in the area where we see the other modules. Also, it could be an island for a civilian ship.
