Surely that most recent photo is worthy of being called in into the little darkened room for some tea?

One thing that we have been very wrong was the super module expectation. Smaller modules placed alongside the dry dock.

Bad news for all China military watchers. CJDBY has closed permanently all threads on PLA, PLAN, PLAAF, China Space and New Concept Weapons.

F, we are living at the end of the golden age of military watching...

The aircraft carrier looks like it is not going to come soon. I don't know why, but in previous photos it looked like it is almost ready.

The expectation of super modules was for the hull/keel -- which was demonstrated... not the hangar level sections, which always was going to have a combination of larger prefabricated modules and smaller ones.


What was demonstrated to be different from expectations was that for this 003 hull they didn't float it over from the fabrication area to the drydock but rather somehow transported it over land it seems.

Any explanation given for such decision?

Why can't you stop for the time being posting the recent controversial photos like for 003 to Twitter and facebook especially big names like Deino with thousands of followers? When there's an ongoing investigation for leaks? Do you want another Chinese forum to get closed after cjdby?
