I was under the impression that at this stage a conventionally powered Type 003(CV 18) is all but confirmed. The island configuration in this CG is more in line with a follow on CVN design.

The guys in 贴吧 believe it's nuclear powered and people from CJDBY believe it's conventional powered. They've been arguing about this for quite a while.

I expect the Chinese to take the longer and safer route and build an atomic icebreaker first.
