CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread

[Kejora]

The angled deck not as angled as US carrier probably similar to Shandong


Not sure where this piece goes to

 

[Deino]

Maybe the reason of shooting angle, the bevel looks a bit strange.

Pardon, what's "bevel"?

 

[Richard Santos]

Looks like lengthwise the deck is complete. Anyone measured how long it is?

 

[Lime]

the length maybe around 72 meters

 

[SINCHIKI]

Pardon, what's "bevel"?

I don't know how to say... the cutting angle? It looks close to 90° on this image.

I think it’s time to improve my English, it's so hard to me.

 

[Intrepid]

Wait for the next satellite image. I think, it is the shooting angle.

 

[KampfAlwin]

this is how it looks

Pardon, is there supposed to be an image attached? I don't get what you mean

 

[Kejora]

These two pieces seems to form zig-zag pattern on starboard side like the pattern on the left.

 

[Totoro]

Of the two parts inside the yellow circle, I think the lower one will be closer to the bow. And the upper one will come right behind it. And then the crane will be placed just in front and to the right of that piece and to the right of the forward piece.

Looks like it's going to be the same elevator unit as 001/002.

Even weeks earlier images showed that hull openings to the hangar are of very similar size to those on 002. Indicating that elevators would also be very similar.

While 003 may be in many regards a revolution compared to 002, it does seem there are still many design cues retained from the 002.
