waterline length should be around 320m

Oh well ... my very special friend once again of fear-mongering course!

Those measurements would make it the biggest aircraft carrier of the world by far!

The red paint and white paint shows where the water line is. And the top of the modules are around hangar floor height.

This give you some idea of the stage on work in progress thus far. Only about half of the modules are sighted in the dry dock to date.

(The artist's illustration is not likely to be the final shape of the ship. Ignore the 002 designation)

I think the construction progress is unchanged as described on July 30, 2018 and November 16, 2019. The upper edge of the modules represent the 2nd deck.

In the first picture, there's a very long and pointy ship under construction near the top, is that a new warship?

We should follow the progress on this. The bow of this seems similar to a 055 or 052D.

Can't avoid Indians getting all salty these days, I guess.

Either way, it'll be end of this year at the earliest to see they start to put together the flight deck...as long as it's not another ski-jump ramp that'd be worthy of a celebration.
