This is what Henri K prediction again it is only prediction !
East Pendulum @HenriKenhmann · Jul 11 If we are to believe the state of readiness revealed by recent amateur photos, and the tide forecasts at Changxing Island, the 3rd Chinese aircraft carrier could well be launched between the 15th and June 18 in the afternoon, after 2:00 p.m. local time.

Well it's definitely soon then. Looks like at the end of the month is a good estimate.
Going back to the past, Shandong's dry dock was flooded on the 23rd of April 2017, and launched 3 days later. So if taken as a precedent, launching of 003 ~17th of June? This is assuming the flooding of the drydock began today.
Although, I will be glad to be proven wrong.

I thought the docks were still being dredged until the 30th?
