in fact, beyond a certai size threshold, the Operational advantage of nuclear power For an aircraft carrier plateaus and begins to diminish.

In Chinese lingo that's called "the target model" and thus all preceding models models are incremental steps towards that target.
Chinese shipbuilding typically don't implement all the new designs and technologies in one new model.
A recent image of the Type 003 aircraft carrier taken on 7. September shows that the barrier between the Type 003 and Type 052DL DDG has been removed.

I don't know if the barrier has been removed. I suspect the bow sonar fitting on the 052DL is done and that ship may soon be moving out of the dock. Lets see if another destroyer will take its turn there.
Oh well ... my very special friend once again of fear-mongering course!
